Just walk into any major company's office building and you can see how important reception areas are. It may seem a little over the top to say this, but reception areas truly are the place where a company can show visitors who they are. First impressions are important and for this purpose the reception area needs to be of a first class appearance.

You want to give off an ambiance that represents the company's mission statement and morale. If you want your visitors to feel a certain way about your company, then you must create that feeling in your welcome area.
For example, hotels and attorney's have very different styles in their reception areas because they have very different businesses.

A hotel will want their visitors to feel welcome and at home. A law office will want their visitors to feel like the lawyers are successful, both to gain the trust of their clients as well as intimidate their opponents.

Many offices will ensure that their reception area, and perhaps a conference room, is immaculately decorated. Then the rest of their office is the same boring bare-wall, row of doors as anywhere else. However, most guests will only see a small part of the office area and will therefore leave with a good impression of the company.

There are some key points to be remembered when decorating a reception area.

One of the most important things is to have a comfortable seating area. Make sure that there is something for the guests to read while waiting as well as having a phone available for their convenience.

Next, choose a design theme that personifies the company. Architects will include parts of their trade into their decorations.

If you have a receptionist, then their work space must be included in the design process. Many times, corner computer desks are chosen for receptionists because of the efficient way the utilize space.
