How to Choose the Most Suitable Reception Furniture for Your Office

It goes without saying that the first impression your customers, visitors, and potential employees will form of your business will take place when they enter your reception area. This is your only chance to make a first impression, which is why the reception furniture for your office has to be on point with what your business represents; the feel, the mission, and the statement of your company are all reflected in the type of reception furniture you choose for your office environment.

Your clients are especially important when making this decision. You simply cannot afford to skimp on the furnishings and layout of your reception area, as this is the first point of contact for everyone who will visit your business. It is vital that a good impression is created with the type of furniture, the efficiency of the reception staff, and the atmosphere of your reception area.

If you are in the process of choosing new reception furniture for your office, you will have a few choices to make that are very important to the business. Furniture is no longer just functional – the time when a chair was a chair and a desk was a desk are long gone. Nowadays, it is vital to be in a position to instil immediate confidence in the business with your reception area. This is the one area of your business that you simply cannot afford to skimp on; it needs to look presentable and affable, and most of all, professional and efficient.

Choosing reception furniture for your office can therefore be quite challenging. While there are many different office furniture providers out there that will try to sell you different units at affordable prices, you really need to take a long and hard look at the materials used, the overall design of the reception furniture, and how this will reflect on your business.

Here we provide you with some tips for choosing the most suitable reception furniture for your office:

• Reception desk: This is probably the most important part of your reception area. This is the place where people will come and speak to the receptionist in order to locate the relevant parties they came to visit. It is therefore important that you create the right image and perception of the company through your choice of reception furniture. It has to be functional and practical, yet impressive, and it needs to be easy for your reception staff to work with.

• Seating: Your reception area is where your clients, potential employees, and guests will be waiting for their appointments. This means that you need to create a comfortable setting for them while they wait. Provide comfortable reception furniture and chairs for your office, and provide a refreshment area where guests can help themselves to water (at the very least) and perhaps even a coffee and tea station. What is most important is that your guests feel welcome and comfortable.

• Reception desk: Your reception staff depends on using the desk to make their lives easier, but sometimes employers provide pretty basic desks for their reception staff. The problem is that the reception desk has to be multi-functional. It has to be able to contain a computer, a monitor, storage containment, and easy access all at the same time. The surfaces of the reception furniture have to be clear and uncluttered at all times, so hidden storage compartments and filing cupboards are essential.

If you are looking for reception furniture for your office that will truly embody the spirit and mission of your business, you need to take a long and hard look at the types of pieces you want to incorporate into your reception area.
