How to Make a Great Impression

 Just like a job interview, you need to dress your office reception area with great modern office furniture.  After all, it is the first place your prospects will see when they come to your company.

 Take a good look at your surroundings in the reception area.

 What are the colors of the walls, carpeting and then furniture? Are they complimentary?

• Is the reception furniture in good condition, or is it looking worn and tired out? What impression is it leaving on a first-time visitor?
• Is there comfortable seating? Do you have serviceable coffee tables and side tables? Make your guests comfortable, so they are at ease.
• Does the furniture and colors used reflect the industry and the company? For example, bright colors suggest a warm, vibrant, creative environment. Soft blues and greens are soothing and suggest a more sedate, calm environment. 
• Are there interesting photos or framed prints or art on the walls?  Wall art brings your modern officefurniture together.
• Do you have industry magazines for people to look at while they are waiting?
• Is the receptionist’s office work station in good condition and uncluttered? If the receptionist has a great work space, she/he will be happy and make your company guests happy. 
• Is there good overhead lighting and adequate lamps on the side tables? If you have good lighting, your employees and guests can get the job done.
• If an Interior Designer viewed the room, what would he/she say?

Before you renovate the reception area with new or pre-owned modern office furniture, take time to think about the messages you want to send about your company via its furnishings. Is your industry conservative or edgy?  Do you deal with lots of different industries or just one? Are your products or services displayed somehow? Do you have awards proudly displayed? 

Finally, you should ask yourself if your target customer would be comfortable sitting in your reception area.  If they would, your reception area is fine.  If not, you should redecorate it.
