RECEPTION
Plan a reception area around visitors, workflow, and first impressions.
Bring the front desk, visitor seating and storage into one reception plan. AAOF helps you compare furniture around employee tasks, visitor flow, privacy needs and the impression you want your business to make.
RECEPTION APPLICATIONS
Coordinate the front desk and waiting area.
Dimensions, finishes, privacy components, pricing, freight, and availability are confirmed for the approved selection.
Reception stations
Front-desk configurations organized around work surfaces, transactions, privacy, storage, and technology.
Waiting-area seating
Guest seating arranged for the available space, expected traffic, and the desired visitor experience.
Supporting furniture
Occasional tables, storage, display pieces, and related furniture that complete the client-facing area.
PLANNING FACTORS
Balance the visitor experience with daily operations.
The right starting point is a clear picture of the room, employee tasks, visitor volume, and information that must remain private.
- Room dimensions, entrance, and visitor path
- Employee workflow and equipment
- Transaction, privacy, and storage needs
- Required clearances and accessibility needs
- Finish direction, budget, and opening date
Opening or renovating a client-facing office?
Attach the floor plan, project schedule, and any finish direction to the project intake.
Reception furniture questions
How do I choose the right reception desk layout?
Start with the number of staff using the desk and the equipment they need. Mark the entrance, visitor approach, employee access and storage on a room sketch. Compare the complete desk configuration against that plan before selecting its shape and size.
How should I plan the waiting area?
Share typical visitor numbers, expected waiting time and any specific access needs. Review guest-chair dimensions, table locations and the route to the front desk. Have the responsible project professional confirm the applicable space and accessibility requirements.
Can the reception furniture coordinate with the rest of the office?
Show AAOF the finishes and furniture you want to retain or use elsewhere. Review reception, guest seating and storage together, then confirm the available finish selections for each product. Ask to compare current samples when a close match matters.
