It’s vital that your reception desk is a sleek and tidy space, one which encompasses what you are as a company. Why? Because if it isn’t, nobody is going to get the right impression of your business and what it offers!
Untidy, uninspiring reception area = an uninspiring view of your company. Nobody wants that!
The type of reception desk you go for really depends on how much room you have, but if you have a relatively large reception space, you can go for a larger desk, provided you keep clutter away.

The reception counter and the office furniture you choose really does speak volumes, but of course, the person manning the reception desk is important too!
To sum up, an attractive reception desk has the following features:
- Tidy and uncluttered
- The style fits in with the rest of the reception area
- Large enough for the space, but not overwhelming
- Manned by a highly experienced, polite, and helpful receptionist
- Easy to find, e.g. when you walk into the reception area you can clearly see the desk and where to report to
It’s not hard to find the ideal chair for reception areas, as this will fit in with the desk style. It’s no good having a sleek and lightweight desk and then a huge, bulky office chair! You should also make sure that the reception seating is also suitable, e.g. comfortable for those waiting, and in-keeping with the overall style.
