At Algedra, we specialize in designing private and commercial Majlis interiors across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UAE and the Gulf, adapting to villa floor plans, palace-scale settings, and contemporary homes. We approach Majlis interiors with a clear priority: how you use the space defines how we design it.
Some clients want a formal, separate Majlis that follows traditional etiquette — distinct men's and women's sections, specific guest flow, and architectural separation from the family quarters. Others ask for a more relaxed, integrated Majlis: a social lounge within the villa, informal but blending reception with living or family sitting room. That could mean integrating a women’s Majlis into a private wing, creating a shared family seating area that flows into a dining zone, or developing two separate Majlis rooms for large gatherings.
We consider privacy, acoustics, cultural requirements, and architectural elements from the start. This is part of how we work across larger residential design projects — particularly for clients looking for a full villa interior design concept, or coordinating the Majlis as part of a palace or estate plan.
Whether you envision a traditional Arabic Majlis with rich textiles and carved wood, or a contemporary style Majlis design with clean lines and subtle luxury, our interior design team transforms your vision to impress your guests, and to last forever.
From our Dubai studio, we deliver bespoke Majlis interiors for private villas, palaces, and estates — across the UAE, wider Gulf, and international markets. Our team works on full-scale designs that include decorative detailing, lighting systems, flooring, wall treatments, and custom furniture — everything a decor and interior design company would handle, but with architectural depth.

What Goes Into a Well-Designed Majlis?
There’s no one-size-fits-all template for a Majlis design. But certain elements come up often — and the way they’re handled is what makes us the best interior design and decor company.
Layout & Flow: We start by studying how the room is used. Will guests enter directly from the main entrance? Is it part of an open plan? Are there two Majlis interiors for men and women? These factors shape everything that follows.
Seating and Functionality: We often customize seating arrangements to match family use versus guest hosting — and to meet expectations across regions, from UAE to Saudi Arabia and overall GCC and MENA regions.
Ceiling & Wall Detailing: We incorporate layered gypsum ceilings, mashrabiya-inspired woodwork, subtle metallic trims, or carved wall panels to add character.
Lighting Strategy: Proper lighting complements the design and establishes mood. Layered lighting with chandeliers, downlights, and wall accents creates flexibility between formal and casual use — especially in Majlis spaces that double as family salons.
Finishes & Materials: From fabrics and drapes to rugs, accessories, and decorative screens — we source materials that work together in tone and texture.
As a full-service interior and decor firm, we work with clients from Riyadh to Doha and across the MENA region. We’re often brought in specifically for the interior styling and finishing of Majlis interiors — but we’re just as often working from scratch on the architectural shell and overall concept.
Types of Majlis We Design
Every project is different, but here are some common categories we work with:
• Traditional Majlis
With heavy use of wood, gold accents, classical proportions, and cultural references, this style leans into formality. The focus is often on symmetry, rich palettes, and luxurious materials — but always with functional comfort.
• Modern Majlis
Minimalist, airy, and often open-plan. These designs use neutral tones, subtle textures, and indirect lighting to create a relaxed, elegant feel. The style is quieter but still respectful of cultural expectations.
• Fusion Majlis
This is where we combine architectural structure with contemporary design elements like muted-toned carved panels or contemporary ceiling patterns inspired by Arabic motifs.
• Dual Majlis (Men’s & Women’s Sections)
Common in larger homes, palaces, and villas — we design separate but stylistically coordinated spaces for men and women, often with different entrances, layout logic, or design priorities.
What You Can Expect
We’ll walk you through concept design, layout planning, material selection, and 3D visualization. Our team handles every detail — from lighting placement to fabric curation — and we can support build execution as needed.
If your project includes multiple Majlis or larger spaces (such as palace-scale layouts or multi-wing villas), we adapt accordingly, keeping the design consistent but personalized.
Whether you're working with us as your main interior design company in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UAE or you’re hiring us specifically for the Majlis interior as part of a larger project, the process remains personalized, accountable, and hands-on.
Regional Relevance, International Standards
Based in Dubai, we design Majlis interiors for clients across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and wider GCC and MENA regions — and our projects also extend internationally. We understand how requirements change from city to city, from private villas in Abu Dhabi to majlis lounges in Riyadh or Jeddah.
Whether it's spacing for guests, material expectations during Ramadan hosting, or privacy layout for gender-specific spaces — it's already part of our design logic.
The scope of work can be limited to the Majlis interior design or integrated into a larger architectural and interior design package.
Related Interior Design Services
Clients requesting Majlis interiors often require coordination with other areas such as entrance halls, dining rooms, or private salons. For clients seeking additional styling or accessory curation, our decor services are available as a separate package and can be requested during or after the interior design phase.
