Meeting Room Furniture

Purchasing meeting room furniture for your office can be more complicated than you might expect, but with Ethosource, the process becomes far easier. We provide a single source for all products and services related to your commercial furnishing needs.

The broad range of meeting table and chair styles available alone is intimidating. Pieces come in various styles with different features and price points, and determining which is best for your business’s functionality and atmosphere can be difficult without experience in design.

Why not take advantage of the Ethosource catalog of services for expertise in design, layout, and more?

Selecting Conference Room Furnishings

Conference rooms need to make an impression. Visitors, clients, prospective partners, and other guests will spend time in these rooms, so the setting must convey a sense of credibility and status.

Style considerations should include the business’ tone and the interior design’s overall style. Modern, trendy, traditional, rustic, or whatever style best reflects the culture you’re trying to create should mirror your chosen furniture. The purpose of the business itself is often the driver of this style choice. For instance, consider the vast differences in the style you’d expect to see in a legal office’s meeting space versus that of the conference areas of a therapist specializing in childhood and adolescence.

The conference room table shape and size are also critical elements to consider. 

Rectangular tables are often used in larger spaces and frequently come with extendable sleeves to adjust the size according to the particular day’s needs. This shape generally features a head place at the end of the table for the meeting leader and conveys a stronger sense of leadership.

A square conference table is seen less frequently. This shape will work well with a smaller room, facilitating free discussion and a more equitable sense of leadership.

Since the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, a round conference table has signified a strong sense of collaboration and equal consideration of ideas. Round tables can also accommodate more chairs than square and rectangular options.

With tables chosen, you’ll need to select complementary seating. Whatever chairs you choose should parallel the table style and design of the room. Options include executive chairs, leather chairs, operator chairs, boardroom chairs, and more. Remember that conferences can be long, so the seating needs to be comfortable.

Beyond surface and seating, plan for functionality. Presentation technology, a coffee and snack bar, lighting, artwork, and greenery should all play a role in your design planning and purchasing.

Don’t forget to measure the space and factor in the number of furniture pieces and room for movement. A room shouldn’t be crammed full of furnishings nor should it seem empty. Filling a space appropriately requires balance.
