5 Quick Tips to Improve Your Business Reception Area in 2020 Keep It Glassy: 7 Sleek Glass Furniture for Your Modern Office Your business reception area is one of the most important spaces in every organisation. It serves as the face of your company, where you exhibit what your business is all about to your customers. It is the real point of contact between your company and your customer. If your employees are friendly and your office space is great, your reception office will definitely reveal that. Layout It is very important for you to create an engaging layout for your reception space in a way that supports the proper flow of traffic. Position your reception counter directly where your customers will see it easily. Create a free pathway so that your customers know straight away exactly where to go, and where not to go without having to ask. Define the flow of movement by strategically placing furniture like reception chairs, and reception desks, and adding some navigational signs to communicate easily with them. The Reception Desks, and Reception Counters • You really should try to create an excellent experience for your customers and visitors. You need to make your receptionist feel comfortable too. Your receptionist will be sitting down at the receptionist desk for up to 8 hours per day, to ensure they do not miss a call or make a visitor feel uncomfortable. • An uncomfortable seating position can discomfort her back and neck and also reduce her efficiency at work. It is, however, important you consider buying her an ergonomic reception chair to make her comfortable. Don’t forget your receptionist needs to be happy to ensure she gives your visitors the reception they deserve. Wall Colour and Decor • Your reception area colour can go a long way to create a gorgeous look for your reception space. However, it is important you consider how you want your customers to feel when deciding a shade of colour for the space. Consider a colour that ties in with your branding – logo, website, or any other corporate colours. • Meanwhile, don’t feel compelled to use it as you can soften it somewhat, especially if your company colours are bold. You can consider calming colours like blues and greens, to create a relaxing environment or something more cheerful, like orange and peach, to give a lively atmosphere. Entertainment and Other Amenities • You cannot afford to leave your business reception area blank. Go that extra mile to create a lovely experience for your customers, especially if they have to wait for a long time. • A water tank station wouldn’t take much space, and a small table for coffee will go a long way to make your customers feel at home. • Include a mini shelf for journals, magazines, and, most importantly, pamphlets about your services. Lighting • • Lighting is another essential factor you shouldn’t get wrong in your business reception area. Ensure you create some room for natural light, and avoid echoes and shadows. Choose soft white bulbs for the ceiling and support it with some warmly coloured lightbulbs to create a welcome and comforting ambiance. Create space for natural light to reflect • Brighten the room with soft white bulbs • A few coloured lightbulbs might also add some magic.
