Designing a lobby means creating a delicate balance of professional appeal and a homey charm. Guests like to understand that your company is there to help them in some way, but they also like to be comfortable waiting for their name to be called. Adding great seating like plush lounge chairs and tables for them to set their things is a start, but how can you know what's best? Well, fortunately, that's what we're here for. In today's post we address some of the newest furniture solutions to make you love your lobby!
The quintessential element of any lobby comes down to the chairs. Think about it. A lobby can have everything else, a reception desk, tables, entertainment, wall art, even a fish tank, but without those chairs, your guests are going to look (and feel) pretty neglected leaning up against a wall. Guest chairs can look as weird or as professional as you like, but make sure they're similar and they reflect the look of your establishment. Chairs like the unique
OFM 841 Recoil Lounge Chair and it's colorful companions offer a comfortable, durable design, with a unique look, and even anti-microbial surfaces to help ensure the health of one's patrons!
However, as fun as chairs like the ones in the Recoil series are, they are not the only lobby seating option. If your office experiences fluctuating levels of traffic throughout the year,
affordable beam seating with modular design may be the answer to your problem. In addition to the beam seats looking out of this world, they also feature fabulously innovative design. Most beam seating provides modular benefits, so units may be added on to accommodate more people, or moved into storage to save space for less active times. Beam seating is also a dream for janitorial staff as units are super easy to clean around.
Perhaps you're searching for something a little more professional though. While beam seating certainly gets the job done in an interesting and stylish manner, it sometimes lacks the homey quality that most waiting areas try to go for. In this case,
comfortable leather sofas for office reception make the best solution. Sofas and love seats immediately evoke a sense of the home when in a business establishment because people tend to associate them with living rooms. For those that have the space, large cozy sofas can accommodate many people, while love seats can often do the same task while fitting into a more compact layout.
Speaking of layout, it's hard to completely furnish a waiting room on chairs and sofas alone. Where would your guests set their beverages, laptops, purses, and magazines? Chances are, if you leave it up to them, you have a much better chance of earning a cluttered lobby space. Without a few
stylish end tables for office reception to improve your space, guests will have no place to set their things, leaving them pretty lost as to what they should do with the pamphlets and magazines set out for them. Often, in place of a dozen end tables, one or two
modern coffee tables for lobby use can accomplish the same task. Both are excellent solutions that should never be forgotten when designing a professional lobby.
Now that your lobby space is rounded out for your guests, it's time to focus on making it the best there is. Giving visitors something convenient that they don't expect is an excellent way to win their favor. Providing a diverse array of entertainment ensures that everyone feels catered to. This task can be as rewarding as adding a television to the waiting space, or as simple as adding a few
office desk lamps for reading to the end tables. Wall art, paintings, and photographs appeal to the more visual folks, but in the end, everyone will enjoy the space, and your lobby will have done it's job preparing them for the amazing experience they'll have with your company!
