Sitting room with mattresses scattered around the perimeter of the room for seating.

Just wanted to add an input about the plural noun بيوت and فرش in the context. The first refers to a bedouin tent بيت /Bayt that is used in mostly in east and south of Libya and made of recycled cloths and rugs فرش.
