Think of an amazing place you have visited before, but sometimes forget to return to. Most of the people who live there have amazing talents and really original ideas. The best part about going there is that no matter of who you are, everyone who visits comes away with a somewhat different experience. The residents occupying this place are capable of talents that stagger the imagination, but most of them have no idea they have this secret gift.

No one office space is exactly the same as any other, without the use changing from company to company. No one person’s design preferences can be exactly the same as everyone else’s, while also suiting every company’s individual branding needs. No one company’s process is exactly the same as the one next door, requiring the exact same configuration and tools as a completely difference business. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about a modern reception area, a conference room, or an open workspace—however...

There once was a time when reception desks were not yet modern, and were only accessible in retail stores. You had to spend time shopping at many different places, looking at one reception desk after another—and whether or not you found the perfect fit for your reception area and business profile, you had to settle for one. Often, you’d have to pay insane prices just to get one you really weren’t that excited about. Add a conference table, a few desks, and seating, and you were looking at a chunk of change.

The familiar workplace that we all know is in for some incredible changes over the next few years. How do we know? Technology is leading the charge together with the fact that the Boomers are leaving the workplace and the younger generation’s numbers are getting larger. The millennials have grown up in a different age, with a new set of rules that create different demands.

Why is a design theme a challenge?

Targeting a design theme for your reception area is pretty much like beginning to design a marketing strategy for your business.

While we all think of marketing to get customers attracted to our business, few consider continuing the attraction process once we have them at our workplace.

A targeted design theme helps to internally market you...

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

I’ve heard it said: the average person lies three times per ten minute conversation. It doesn’t matter if you are a housewife from Duluth, a school teacher from Vermont or a little old lady from Kansas. Find that staggering? Don’t!  It’s true.

Studies show we lie to everyone, 86% to parents, 75% to friends, 69% to spouses and 40% on resumes. Now when it comes to online dating, estimates say an unimaginable 90% of people lie on their profiles. Does that dilute your faith in humanity?

Tell me if this is something that sounds vaguely familiar…

You want to buy a nice modern reception desk for your business lobby.

You don’t have an exact fix on what it is you want to buy, but you tell yourself, “I’ll know it when I see it.”

You then go from one website to another looking for that perfect reception desk, one that will jump off the screen and say “I’m it, buy me now.”

Unfortunately, the task is more labor intensive than you had ever imagined. You stick with it.

Hooray, you find one that’s really nice, but the price is twic...
