Create a Corporate Space That Impresses Clients
Designing a company’s communal spaces is intimidating, whether you’re a growing startup or have just been entrusted with the high-profile project. How do you create space that will stand out without looking like every other office you visit?
It’s about finding the right balance between open and closed spaces and choosing the décor and furniture that represents your company’s mission while enhancing the time spent with your most important asset: your clients.
When a guest enters a space whether it’s a staged living room or an event, you ultimately want your guests to experience the feeling that you cared about them. Here are three ways you can use corporate furniture rentals to achieve your desired effect:
#1. Spruce up Your Office Conference Room
Large, dominant pieces like a conference table are traditionally neutral, simple, and classic finishes that easily transition with changing design and color trends. However, renting furniture provides the flexibility for you to change designs as the needs of your business evolve.
For conference rooms, we have our oversized Viking Table, which makes an impressive centerpiece for any meeting. The Viking Table is 11′ long – holding up to 10 people. Cohesive furniture makes meeting space feel modern, clean, and professional, so it’s important to select chairs that complement your style without becoming uncomfortable to sit in during long meetings. The Amarillo Chair in bright yellow can add a playful pop of color while still offering a padded seat and adjustable height for comfort.
#2. Create a Huddle Space
As workplaces become more mobile and distributed, teams want fewer, shorter, and more informal meetings. This drives a growing trend for a different type of meeting room design: the huddle room. Huddle rooms are small meeting rooms that are designed for ad-hoc collaboration for up to six people. Besides the smaller size, what makes this style of meeting room different is the focus on creativity and ideation.
In the same way any sports team will huddle-up on the field to plan their immediate next moves, a huddle room is outfitted with items that empower your teams to meet quickly and easily. Less formal than a traditional conference room, huddle rooms typically feature enough furniture to accommodate 5-7 people and include video conferencing solutions, a TV, LCD or LED monitor, a small, central table for that allows for casual seating, and chairs or stools.
#3. Update Your Lobby and Lounge Areas
Data reveals that 95% of companies believe face-to-face meetings are a critical part of closing business. Because an in-person visit is a memorable experience, it’s also an important opportunity to delight visitors with a sophisticated physical space that showcases the best of your company. A lobby that is consistent with your brand’s public image goes a long way in helping visitors know they are in the right place.
