Modern and Contemporary Office Design Concepts Are Infiltrating Today’s Office Workspaces. Here’s How to Tell the Difference Between the Two.

Despite common thinking, effective modern office design does not align with what’s trendy. Modern office emphasis is on structural uncomplicatedness, organization, and function: monotone walls, straightforward materials, and unspoiled architectural lines. The primary starting point for today’s modern offices includes, but is not limited to, reception areas and conference rooms. This approach to design co...

FREE MONEY!

The next best thing to free money (if you can ever imagine that) is a sizable return on investment (ROI). Let’s face it: when it comes to money and business, most entrepreneurs invest their capital in anticipation of getting ROI. The problem is, we don’t all have a crystal ball to peer into the future to see the results of the investments we make. What will become the next Facebook? What investable craze will inhabit the planet next? What will give us a reasonable return? In order to know, we need to intelligently speculate, becaus...

As easy as it may seem, buying modern reception furniture is no quick, fast, get-’er-done matter. It is something that requires thought, planning, and a bit of creativity. Without those things, you will most likely buy reception furniture that your business will need to work for, rather than allowing the reception furniture you buy to work for your business. What do I mean by that?

Your Business has a Reception Area Process, Whether You Planned It or Not

Whether you think about it and plan for it or not, your business has evolved into a proce...

Aside from your home, nothing is more personal and detail-specific than your business workspace. Getting more personalized, flexible and organized seems to drive the new trend that is propelling custom manufactured office furniture to scale the stereotypical walls of office design mediocrity; helping business owners personalize their business ideas visually and functionally.

Creating Modern Office Design Trends

Modern office furniture and design trends are created by you, the creative people buying it. When we talk about trends, we are not re...

Given the cost of real estate, few companies can afford to occupy more space than they really need. In fact, many companies are making do with smaller spaces than they would like. For those companies, the question is: how do you take small reception areas, conference rooms, and private executive workspaces and make them work functionally without having them appear small and crowded? Here are a few office design ideas that may help to open up your space.

Reception Area and Conference Room Built-Ins

Built-ins are a way to make small modern rece...

Years ago, modern reception area design was as foreign to business owners as speaking Swahili to the average American. However, in this day and age, more and more companies are starting to focus on how their businesses look up front—and the messages this area conveys. They are beginning to realize that the impression they make at first—and the impression visitors leave with—represents an important factor in their business success.

Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec described his experience of seeing people for the first time when they come into the ...

Your business is different in so many ways than the one next door, across town, or even in the next state. Your business reception area may be 200 square feet, while another is 2,000. Your reception area shape may be square and another rectangular, while still another is triangular with a radius back wall and bi-level on the opposite end. One business may have a need for a single user application, and another three, four or more. Your business may need customer face to face communication, and yet another total privacy. If that’s not enough, you still need to consider: job function, wheelchair access, user chair space, and user tools, just to start.

For these reasons and much more, finding the perfect size reception desk ready-made (for the person that really cares about their business details) is next to impossible.

Let’s assume for the moment you care about your business details, then, there are many things you need to evaluate to make sure you select the right size for your business because if you get it wrong, your business will pay in one way or another. Here’s an example of what I mean…

Love at first sight

Like Britany, love at first sight for your brand is generated mainly by an emotional attraction. In the beginning, (in most cases) that attraction is based upon something you see insofar as very little may be known up front about what the brand is about. Like dating, if the brand can impress the customer, there is a good chance the customer may stick around for more.

Usually, the reason one will stick around for more is if they have an amazing experience during that first encounter.
