We all know that the reception area is an important spot in your entire building. It needs to be welcoming, stylish, clean, and it needs to spell out the brand. Put simply, time and attention needs to go into designing the ideal reception area, as well as paying attention to the major dos and don’ts of receptions in general.
The biggest centrepiece of any reception area is the desk. This is where the receptionist will sit and greet visitors, and it will be one of the first impressions that a visitor has of that entire building, and therefore the business itself. So, what type of desk is best for this most important of area?
It really depends on how large your reception area is. If you have a small area, a large desk is going to overpower the space and look out of place. In this case, a wave desk could provide the eye-catching piece you need, without dominating the space too much.
A curved desk is ideal for larger reception areas, but it also needs to be kept clutter free, to avoid completely ruining the look you’re going for. For a real centrepiece, how about blue and glass reception desks? These will be a really impressive feature and show a modern side to your business.
You should also pay a lot of attention to the functionality. Don't forget about the visitor seating in the area either, ensure that everyone is comfortable and supported whilst they’re waiting to be seen.
