Desk, seating and layout ideas for a front desk that works for visitors and staff alike.
On this page
Visitors decide what they think of a business within seconds of walking in. The reception area does a lot of that talking.
The desk
A good reception desk hides clutter, has room for the tech the front office needs, and includes an ADA-height transaction counter.
Seating
Mix a sofa or two with individual chairs – not everyone wants to share. Choose durable, cleanable fabrics.
Details that count
- Clear sightline from the door to the desk
- Side tables and a place for coats and bags
- Power near seating for visitors who wait
