Considering the fact that reception areas provide people with the first impression of your business, it is surprising to find that there hasn\u2019t been much change since the 1980s in some cases.<\/p>\n
In the 1980s you might have been greeted with a reception area that was fairly sombre with a desk a row of chairs and a receptionist either typing or sitting reading a magazine. Fast forward to the 1990s and you have the more widespread and visible use of office computers and a more open plan approach to the reception area. <\/p>\n
Perhaps even an old sofa would be provided for clients to sit and wait before they are welcomed in to the main building. You will still see plenty of examples of these 80s and 90s office receptions around to this day. <\/p>\n
The modern reception is all about creating a warm friendly space where visitors can feel at ease. If we take the examples of Google\u2019s office reception areas you have multi-coloured playful furniture or comfortable curved sofas which look more like a nursery than a grown up place to work. <\/p>\n
This is of course the type of image Google likes to project of course and this is the secret of a good reception layout. It must fit with the company image and have your branding clearly visible to leaf a lasting impression on your clients and customers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
