Designing My Ideal Reception Area*

*This is a collaborative post*

As many of my readers know, I work at a busy dental practice. In fact, I know for certain that several of my patients happen to read this little blog - waves - and you lovelies know more than anyone just how little space I have behind my reception desk. Literally, you couldn't swing a cat behind there.

We're actually planning on a re-haul in the near future - yay - which got me dreaming of what my newly refurbished reception and waiting area might look like. I think if I was in charge of the refurb, I'd probably go a bit overboard. I'm talking 'fish tank' walls reminiscent of the Romeo and Juliet movie... Not sure my bosses would go for that! :)

On a serious note, I'd definitely choose one of these gorgeous reception desks from Calibre Office Furniture. I was literally blown away by their bespoke pieces. Front of house is as it sounds, the first thing a patient or client sees. As such it's hugely important that the furniture and decor give that all important first impression.

The beautiful desks at Calibre Office Furniture most definitely give a strong visual impact and are also ergonomically designed to promote good posture. There's a range of designs, styles, shapes, sizes and finishes to suit every taste and budget.

Calibre Office Furniture also offers a comprehensive range of reception chairs and seating including sofas, tub chairs, benches and more.

For the waiting room I'd definitely choose these Opal Tub Chairs or the Boxer Reception Seating. They look really comfortable, classy and stylish.

For me, I spend the majority of my working day sat down and as such it's vital that I have an appropriate and comfortable chair. To be honest, I would love any one of these office chairs. Professional, durable and super stylish, there's a vast range to choose from, but the executive office chairs which feature high backrests and integral lumbar support are amongst my favourite.
