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?

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.

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.

“Custom made” sounds expensive

There are certain words when you hear them, your mind without further thought clicks the expensive box. Words like elite, luxury and exclusive are just a few that make you hold tightly onto your wallet when you hear them. Among those words are the words “custom made.”

When you are thinking about a modern reception desk, however, that does not have to be the case. Here’s why…

Modern receptions desks don’t have to be expensive

Whether you are occupying office space in your own building or renting space from an outside source, your reception area is an important zone to consider—and it requires thought and planning. This part of your office is where your customers, vendors, and employees walk through first—and leave last. Selecting reception furniture that creates a pleasing, welcoming environment while supporting function and everyday use is instrumental in the creation of a workspace that suits your company’s needs.

1. Measure your space. Use a measuring tape or yar...

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.

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.
