Getting Your Reception Desk Right

When visitors come into your office for the first time, they will form an opinion about your business immediately. That’s why, from potential clients and customers to job candidates, you want to make sure you are making a great first impression.

Your reception area should be designed to show off your company’s personality through a personalised style and innovative flair. You want people who come into your office and know who you are and what you do. As well as the atmosphere of your reception, furniture also needs to be considered.

We believe the most important piece of furniture for any reception is, of course, a reception desk and were here to help you get it spot on.

Attractiveness

From brand colours and logo to room size and lighting, there are many aspects to consider when thinking about how you want your reception desk to look. You want your desk to be a striking, prominent and professional looking piece of furniture to add some personality to your reception.

Our design team offer a full design package including drawings, visuals and specific material ideas to design and build bold, attractive and truly bespoke reception desks.

Functionality

Whilst how your reception desk looks is important, you also need to think about its functionality. Important daily tasks which assist in the smooth running of your business are undertaken here daily. From sending and receiving letters and messages, answering phone calls and greeting clients, it is important that your reception desk is designed with organisation in mind to help team members carry out multiple tasks easily and efficiently.

Materials

As sustainability becomes more critical, it’s becoming increasingly common for potential clients and future employees to consider companies’ environmental commitments before they decide to use their services or join their team. That’s why it’s important that the materials you’re decking out your office with are as sustainable as possible by using materials that aren’t depleting our natural resources.

Here at Knotty Ash, we are FSC certified which means you can be assured that our materials are both ethically and sustainably sourced.
