Modular Reception Counters for the Best First Impression

Many a significant decision has been made based on the first impressions an individual has of a company. First impressions of an organization, given by its initial appearance and ambience can influence a person's perception of how it operates.

For many businesses, the reception counter is the first point of contact with its caller. Whether they are existing clients, potential new customers  or members of the public, this is where the best relationships begin.

Very often, it is the receptionist who benefits  from the attention to detail. Dressed smartly and with corporate pride, she meets and greets with aplomb.  Her manners are exemplary and her people skills honed to perfection.

In comparison, sadly, the office reception desk is often at a disadvantage,  and its appearance is mostly ignored. Organizations are very often oblivious to the value of an inspiring looking office reception desk.

Reception counters do not have to be heavy, ponderous affairs, reminiscent of banks and financial institutions from the 1960s.  The days are gone  when all visitors were met by walls of ancient,  imposing mahogany and heavy glass screens.   Modern choices are many and varied with modular units being perfect for today's contemporary business perspectives.

Easy to manage, they are available in straight, convex and concave modules, in varying widths and heights which make space planning an area simple, regardless of its size. Tasteful colourways may be used to portray the style of business conducted, from a light and airy beech or maple for example, to a more subdued and austere walnut finish. With modular reception units it is easy to create an exclusive and warm welcome. All offer an indication of quiet professionalism and make that all important great first impression

Some well placed lighting will further enhance the reception counter area, together with the addition of light reflecting mirrors.
Furthermore, ensure that walls and surrounding paintwork are complementary rather than garish which can have a negative result. Adding a vase of reception counter natural flowers can also contribute to the general ambience.
