Your office reception is like a mini portrait of your office. It is like a bedrock for your entire workspace. We all are familiar with the importance of first impressions. An ideal first impression can greatly influence the course of our work relationships. Your office reception furniture should depict your overall work ethic. Hence, it is very important to carefully choose the best reception furniture for your office. While choosing your office reception furniture, there are a few points which need to be kept in mind.

Points To Consider While Selecting Essential Office Furniture For Reception

·       ‘Look’ n ‘Feel’

The look and feel of your office reception should be a purview of the nature of your business. You must focus on keeping your office reception simple and sleek. Too much clutter at the office reception can be very off-putting. Before you start putting together your office reception, ask yourself one simple question. What do I want my reception area to say? If you want your reception area to be laid back and comfortable, choose your furniture accordingly. In case you want your reception area to be stimulating, you can choose your furniture to illustrate that particular feature. Apart from that, always remember, ‘less is more.’

·       Comfortable Seating

Comfortable seating is a very important aspect of an ideal office reception area. One must make sure that your reception area has adequate and comfortable seating. We have already spoken about the importance of first impressions. Consequently, if your client experiences comfort while sitting in your reception area, your first impression is going to be spot on.

Apart from comfort, it is very important to have an adequate number of chairs in the reception area. You might have noticed when someone feels to need to pull and drag chairs from nearby cabins to accommodate people in the reception area. That practice is very unsavory. It is always a good idea to have adequate seating arrangement in the reception area.

·       Reception Desk

You can significantly enhance the ambiance of your reception area by placing an attractive reception desk. The size of your reception desk is very important. If your reception area is quite big, then you must opt for a large reception desk. Otherwise, you can choose from a wide variety of options available in the market. The most important thing to keep in mind is the functionality of your essential office furniture.

If you have adequate space, it would be a good option to have some storage cabins too. Your staff can use storage cabins to store some essential files or items.

·       Side or Center Tables

One has to make his/her reception area very welcoming and comfortable. In order to achieve that, side and center tables are very important. The clients who will wait in the reception can use the side tables to put down their glass of tea, coffee, or water. Your center tables can display some conducive selection of newspapers or magazines.

All these aesthetics help in imparting a sense of professionalism to your essential office furniture.

·       Natural Lighting or Lamps

Your reception area must be well lit. It is good if you have natural lighting. Otherwise, one must install accessories that give out soft and subtle lighting. Your reception area is used for waiting, interacting, and checking out other stuff. Hence, you must have ample light in that area.

There are a lot of things which you can keep incorporate in the best reception furniture for your office, specifically the accessories. But do not try to overdo it. Keep it simple and classy. One must always try to create a sense of warmth while decorating the office reception area. Indoor plants can really go a long way in creating that ideal vibe.
