Every reception area is a hive of activity with people coming and going and receptionists working hard to ensure that everyone knows where they need to be. The reception space needs to be organised and warm and welcoming so that it gives a great first impression of your business.

A comfortable waiting area is also a must. Even if sofas create a homely, stylish look, individual seats are better than sofas, as people can often feel uncomfortable walking in and sitting right next to strangers. Padded seats are great with soft fabric coverings, but if you think they may be a little impractical, then try faux or real leather effect chairs that are easy to clean and can be bought cheaply from auctions and discount stores sometimes.
It is essential that visitors have something pleasant to look at, other than magazines and a TV, which enhances the environment around them and makes them feel safe and welcome. Photographs and paintings and plants are popular decorative options. In particular, plants have been shown to generate a sense of calm and happiness-according to the ancient Japanese Feng Shui tradition, placing plants on either side of your entrance door actively welcomes guests into your office and can bring the company prosperity and wealth as well.
