Office Reception Area Chairs & Tables

An office reception area bookends the experience of every customer, patron, patient, or partner who visits your business, and this space will require the quality of chairs & tables that you’ll find at Ethosource.

The Role of Reception Area Furnishings

When people enter the reception area of your office space, you want them to be appropriately impressed. Make sure that the area that provides a welcome and farewell does so in a positive and memorable fashion.  

The reception area of your business is often referred to as the waiting room. It’s called that for a reason. Patients, clients, and potential recruits wait for their appointments in this area. Here, you should plan to include a desk for office staff, seating, end tables, and decor. 

Start with the Desk

Reception staff will need a desk, comfortable seating, and storage pieces. When guests arrive, they’ll check in at this area, ask questions, and even make payment in some instances. The reception desk should be sufficient for all of the front end staff, without crowding or clutter.

Aesthetically, the desk should be an appropriate shape, color, and finish for the rest of the space and the brand of the company. 

Add Staff Seating

At these desks, your front end staff will put in plenty of hours, and their seating should accommodate the well. We suggest ergonomic seating that can be adjusted for height, arm length, and lumbar support as well as cushions and footstools for employees who need them. When staff is comfortable throughout the day, they’ll be productive and friendlier to guests. 

Add Chairs for Guests

While guests wait, they shouldn’t have to risk discomfort or injury. Ethosource provides quality seating for reception areas that will work with your space’s aesthetic design while providing strength and comfort. 

Make sure that the number of chairs you include is sufficient for the number of people that might be waiting at one time. Forcing visitors to stand while waiting is completely unacceptable. Depending on the type of business, lounge seating in the reception area might be important; think lush sofas or loveseats. 

Complete the Design

End tables, magazine racks, laptop stands, and coffee tables are all appropriate pieces for reception areas. Provide plenty of distractions for your guests while they wait – magazines, television programming, toys for waiting children, etc. Just remember to clean these items with disinfectant regularly. Choosing tables with built-in charging ports will cater to the needs of your guests as well. 

Lighting and greenery are critical for any reception area. Natural light is ideal, but if it’s not possible, create a complete layered system of lighting that includes ambient, task, and accent lighting features. Adding plants to the design improves the aesthetic for the entire business; every “zone” should include a nice collection of plants.
