When clients regularly visit your office,
having an inviting office space is valuable. It makes the atmosphere more
relaxed, so your clientele is more likely to enjoy your discussions and speak
openly about their business needs. That helps you to deliver a sale and
continue to grow your company. Effectively create an office space that welcomes
customers by having an open floor plan, comfortable furniture and using
soothing colors.
1. Create an Open Floor Plan
An open space floor plan is a great idea
for your office. Within the space, there are no partitions, which keeps
everything open. This design creates the illusion of a larger space than you
may have, as well as communicating to your clients the openness of your
business approach. It also helps customers feel comfortable as they can clearly
see everything in the room, without any objects hidden behind extra walls.
2. Invest in Comfortable Office
Furniture
There is likely nothing more off-putting to
a client than furniture that is hard or not comfortable. It may look
fashionable, yes, but design needs to take second place to comfort. As your
business meetings may get lengthy, it’s important to provide a friendly space
that has relaxed seating. That way your client stays focused and engaged,
rather than counting down the minutes until he or she can leave.
A great quality, comfortable style of chair
is the tub chair. For example, the Cotham Tub Chair
from At Home Furniture has a rounded back, four legs and a great curved, modern
appeal. Most importantly, it is comfortable as the customer can lean back in it
easily, use the arm rests and enjoy the plush seat cushion. It comes in a range
of colors to suite your office; the options are charcoal, teal, blue and red.
3. Use Soothing Office Colors
The colors you paint your office space
really go a long way toward creating an inviting office space. Great shades to
use include moss green and pale blue. The light green shade is calming, without
causing drowsiness. And, it also does not have a high intensity that can
distract clients from your business discussions. As for soft blue, it is a
relaxing color for a wall or paintings hung on office walls. It creates a
soothing vibe for the space, which welcomes your clients rather than having a
stuffy feel to it.
When you follow these tips for creating an
inviting office space, your clients are sure to enter the room expecting a
positive experience with your company. To learn more about great office
