When undertaking an office refurbishment or fit out, an office reception design can significantly enhance first impressions. The reception area design should create a welcoming and professional atmosphere for visitors while conveying the company’s brand and identity.

Considering the right design elements for an office reception area, such as furniture, colour schemes, and lighting, will ensure the space is functional and inviting. It’s also important to think about the flow of traffic, ensuring the reception space is easy to navigate and efficiently serves both visitors and employees. Additionally, incorporating technology, like digital signage or self-check-in kiosks, can enhance the guest experience while promoting efficiency.

Planning Your Office Reception Area

When refurbishing an office reception area, consider these key factors to create a welcoming and functional space:

First Impressions

Your reception area is the first thing visitors see. Ensure it reflects your brand identity and creates a professional, inviting atmosphere.

Layout & Flow

Design a reception area in your office space that allows for easy navigation, with clear entry and exit points to avoid congestion.

Comfortable Furniture

Provide stylish, ergonomic waiting room furniture to enhance visitor comfort while they wait.

Branding & Aesthetics

Incorporate company colours, logos, and design elements that reinforce your brand’s identity.

Lighting

Use a mix of natural and artificial lighting to create a warm and welcoming environment.

Reception Desk

Choose a desk that is functional and creates visual impact, ensuring it accommodates your reception team’s needs, whilst maintaining that welcoming feel.

Technology Integration

Include digital check-in systems, charging stations, and clear signage for a seamless visitor experience.

Storage & Organisation

Keep the space clutter-free with smart storage solutions to maintain a clean, professional look.

Accessibility

Ensure the space is accessible for all visitors, including wheelchair users, with ramps, automatic doors and appropriate seating.

Acoustics & Privacy

Use soft furnishings, carpets, or acoustic panels to minimise noise while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
