The majlis is where guests are received, so its main wall sets the tone of the whole home. Here is a practical guide to choosing pieces that suit an Emirati majlis, with real prices from our catalogue.
Start with the main wall
Choose one strong piece for the wall facing the entrance. Popular choices are Islamic calligraphy, a portrait of the UAE leaders or an Arabian horse design.
- Islamic calligraphy wall art: from AED 2,000
- UAE leaders portraits: from AED 2,000
- Arabian horse wall art: from AED 2,000
Get the size right
A majlis wall is usually long. A piece that covers about two thirds of the seating below it looks balanced, so XXL (160 x 105 cm) or XXXL (180 x 120 cm) often suits a large majlis. Hang the centre of the piece at about eye level for seated guests.
Add heritage pieces

Divide the space with mashrabiya
If the majlis opens to another room, a mashrabiya divider separates the space while letting light pass through. Our mashrabiya pieces start from AED 2,000 and can be made to your exact width and height.
