Reception

If you have to make people wait, the goal is to make it worth their while. They say first impression is everything. Whether it is to welcome employees, customers or clients, or to receive guests, a reception area plays a vital role to make everyone who enters feel safe, excited, glad and welcome that they came. Make the reception area as pleasant as possible and functional. The reception room design ambience is very important. Also provide distractions and use reception area to brand your business.

The reception room is truly yours to design. Warm or bold, neutral or pastels, any color scheme can be used to make it cohesive and stylish. For this, invest time in selecting colors for this place. The rule is simple, a waiting room should have a character. People do not like to wait in a dull and bore room, staring at stark white walls that lack personality. Dull reception areas evoke a sense of being unwelcome and undervalued.

Reception area’s design also varies according to the business i.e. corporate offices, spas and salons, healthcare etc. Psychological effects of color also come into consideration for this as nobody wants to wait in a hospital reception room with walls painted red.

Keep in mind, bold colors make a statement whereas light colors are used to create calm and serene effects. Follow our color selection examples.
