When you’re running a business, it’s inevitable that you will have to receive visitors over the course of your business’s lifetime. The work area isn’t going to be the first thing that your guests or visitors see when they first visit your office. Rather, you probably have an office reception or lobby right outside the actual workplace for receiving temporary visitors. While these areas may be a small and seemingly innocuous part of your office, they serve extremely important purposes. They’re not just places for people to browse bookshelves or sit and lounge around waiting for your employees.
Don’t think of your reception area as some boring waiting room that’s just meant to be a temporary place to house visitors. Rather, think of these areas as the face of your business, and the first thing that your guests see when they walk in through your door.
What types of furniture are in a lobby?
No one wants to be in an ugly waiting room with nothing to do. Turn your guests’ visit into something they could be pleasantly surprised with. Here are some furniture must-haves for reception areas.
Comfy couches and chairs. While you don’t need a fancy office chair for the lobby, it might do you well to invest in comfortable sofas for guests.
Magazine racks and bookshelves. Beet your guests’ boredom by stacking some reading material nearby that they can peruse.
Reception desks. A reception area will probably need, well, a receptionist. You’ll need a nice desk that is wide enough to seat the receptionist and receive the guest.
Turn any old boring office waiting room or reception area into a memorable place with some great furniture! Shop a variety of sofa sets, chairs, tables, and more at F31 Furniture!
