Design features of the office reception area
The first room that a visitor to an office or any other building sees is the key one that forms a lasting impression of the company in people. The design is associated with the company’s values and corresponds to the interior of other premises and the specifics of the activity.

Popular types of reception
The entrance area of an organization, be it an office, a fitness center, a hotel or a beauty salon, is designed in a thoughtful and ergonomic way. It should have a neat appearance, be clean and functional. As a rule, the design of an office reception includes a secretary's desk, space for computers and storage of papers. In addition, there is a place in the interior for clients where they wait for an appointment or fill out documents. The requirements for the design of this office area are to take into account the needs of clients and employees, the convenience of the administrator and visitors.
The configurations of the reception desk of the office meeting area can be as follows:
- Direct design, which is installed in rooms with a large flow of visitors.
- A corner stand, common in small spaces, can be part of a single structure consisting of shelves and cabinets.
- Multi-level furniture is used in rooms where clients have to fill out applications, pay, take photographs, wait for a consultation, etc.
- Hotels and shopping complexes are characterized by a quadrangular closed shape, which limits customers from entering behind the counter and has increased presentability.
- Semicircular design, common in offices, suitable for large, spacious spaces.
- The U-shaped counter zoning the reception area organizes the work of several secretaries who simultaneously serve the influx of visitors.
Whatever solution for interior design of the reception is chosen, it should not contrast with the direction of the company’s activities. The counter should blend in with other spaces without standing out or annoying customers.
Types of reception designs
By the appearance of the company, namely by the reception, one can judge the status, well-being and financial position of the company. Don't rely on appearance when choosing a rack; it should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable and functional.
Modular designs are more popular. With their help, you can create an excellent set, with the ability to supplement it with different shelving and bedside tables. The variety of racks is determined by the needs of the company in terms of external design, interior preferences, and functionality requirements.

What is included in the reception design project?
Having collected all the necessary data to formulate the technical specifications, as well as recording the client’s wishes, the designer will begin one of the first stages of creating a design project - preparing sketches. At this stage, it is possible to make changes, so the specialist carefully coordinates everything with the customer again in order to then move on to 3D visualization of the project.
The reception area traditionally includes:
- rack;
- office manager's workplace;
- company logo above the counter;
- the waiting area.
The concept of the reception design project is based on its functional purpose. Receiving and greeting guests, informing about the company's activities, waiting for a meeting, all this happens in the reception hall. The first thing visitors pay attention to is the color and light of the room. Speaking about the color scheme of the hall and reception area, it is better to adhere to corporate ethics and use corporate colors in the design. The rules for their use are usually described in the company’s full brand book. The rules for using the logo are also clarified there. It is better to place the logo above the reception desk, highlighting it with bright LED strips. Corporate colors can also be used in the design of counters, furniture, wall decoration in the office, and in infographics.
How to choose a color scheme and material for the reception desk
Traditionally, the design of an office reception begins with the manufacture of a rack structure. They are made from metal panels, plastic, MDF or laminated chipboard. The most expensive furniture is made from solid wood and natural stone. It is supplemented with glass; sometimes the stand is formed from fiberglass. Interior designs like this require that wires and documentation be hidden from outside view. Surfaces are preferably made matte, since, unlike glossy ones, they do not retain handprints and dirt. They are easier to care for and look neater.
The color scheme of the reception area should correspond to the general design style of office premises, as well as corporate colors. We must not forget about the logos that are placed on the wall located behind the administrator or on the counter itself.

Separately, it is worth noting the designer’s work on the lighting. Dimmed light is suitable for the waiting area, but it should not be dim. For the workplace, good lighting is necessary for comfortable work. You can use LED strips that fit seamlessly into the ceiling, niche, paintings and other interior details. Linear lamps zone space and create unique interiors, embodying the designer’s ideas.
