Modern Office Waiting Room Ideas

Welcome patrons and partners to a modern office waiting room with these ideas from Ethosource. With our furniture and services, we can guide you toward making a statement of welcome while creating a sense of confidence in your office’s capability and purpose. The process we follow ensures convenience and affordability as well. 

With help from Ethosource, you’ll be surprised by how easy and cost-effective it can be to create the ideal waiting room environment.

The most important suggestion is also the most obvious: make the reception area desk the focal point of the room. It should be large and attention-grabbing while also functional. Many different styles and prices of reception area desks are available, and we offer planning, delivery, and installation services to help integrate the piece most effectively into the room.

Depending on the office environment, you can select a desk with front-facing counter space for guests to sign-in and provide reception staff with privacy from the view of seated guests as they wait for appointments. A reception desk that grabs attention and provides functionality will draw the eye and leave no question regarding where to go upon entrance or for information.

The waiting room of a business also requires furniture for visitors to rest while they wait for their appointments. The seating in the space should be both visually appealing and comfortable. This aspect is one where you shouldn’t skimp. Avoid wooden or plastic, uncomfortable chairs, and include a variety of seating sizes and styles to accommodate all body types.

The type of visitor that comes into your space is an important factor in these decisions. How long is the wait? Do families need space to sit together? Do you anticipate an issue with germs? Do you need to prioritize allergen-free furnishings? By answering these questions, and others, you can target the types of seating arrangements that you choose.

Ethosource supplies a team of experts for your design solutions. From the type of materials to the colors and layout, take advantage of our expertise to ensure that the waiting area is welcoming, appropriate, and within budgetary limitations. 

Lighting, greenery, and decor are also critical to a well-appointed waiting room space. Natural lighting is best, but when it’s unavailable, a layered system of lighting is appropriate. Ambient, task, and accent lighting, positioned in just the right place, will fulfill the lighting need.

Adding plants to a room enhances the positivity within the space. Again, natural is better, but artificial plants will fill this role when you’d rather not invest money or time in the real thing.

The furniture that you need for your business will depend on the square footage of your business’s office, the purpose that you serve, and how your front end operates. Each piece should fit within the overall design scheme of the business as well. 

In addition to online, you can view our furniture inventory at two physical locations: our showrooms in King of Prussia and Reading, PA. The inventory is regularly rotated, and our footprint spans the whole United States and Canada.
