Decorations: Some interior design companies prefer to use Italian or modern gypsum decorations in men’s majlis (reception rooms) because they add a touch of luxury to the space. Gypsum is also highly effective at absorbing moisture, which is why it was used in the past to decorate walls.
Colors: It is known that each color has a reflection on a person and evokes a different feeling than other colors. Therefore, the interior designer always chooses earthy colors that are closer to the deserts and resemble the nature of men in general. We see that gold and silver are luxurious colors because of their brilliance and because they reflect a state of luxury and extravagance in the majlis.
Furniture: Interior designers of men’s majlis (sitting rooms) always consider the room’s size and height. The higher the ceiling, the taller the furniture pieces should be, such as a tall bookcase, a tall chandelier, and large paintings. Otherwise, the room will feel unbalanced, and the furniture will appear small relative to its size and height. Therefore, the room’s dimensions and height must be taken into account when selecting furniture.
Accessories: The interior designer of men’s majlis always prefers to be bold in choosing paintings, antiques, and accessories in large sizes, as this gives luxury and sophistication to the decor of the men’s majlis. However, they must be placed in the appropriate area and visual symmetry must be taken into account when looking at the majlis in general. Also, the repetition of colors, materials, and the type of fabric used throughout the majlis, and the distribution of some cushions here and there, makes the guest admire the splendor and beauty of the design.
Men's majlis are among the most popular decorative elements in Arab homes, distinguished by their luxury, elegance, and harmonious color schemes. Gulf-style furniture is also characterized by its comfort and practicality, serving as both a place to sit and sleep, making it suitable for smaller spaces. Therefore, we will explore the most important principles to consider when designing a men's majlis.
