The majlis is the heart of the Emirati home — where guests are welcomed and stories are shared. Styling it well is about balancing tradition with a calm, modern touch. Here's how to bring understated Arabic elegance to your majlis.
Start with a serving centrepiece
A handcrafted serving tray anchors the space and does double duty when guests arrive. Pair it with an arabesque box for dates and sweets.
Layer in calligraphy
One considered piece of Arabic calligraphy wall art gives a majlis instant character. Choose a word or verse that means something to you.
Engage the senses with mabkhara
Scent completes a majlis. A mabkhara (bakhoor burner) fills the room with tradition and doubles as a sculptural accent.
Finish with the details
Small touches tie it together — a calligraphy tissue box, a decorative arabesque dome on a side table.
