Having stylish, high-quality soft seating in your office not only creates a good impression of your company, it also means your clients and visitors will be nice and comfortable. As a consequence of their positive experience at your premises, you’re more likely to cement a good and long-lasting relationship with them.
Your reception area is the first impression visitors will have of your office, which is why it’s important to make sure the experience is a good one. By providing soft seating where visitors can sit and wait for their appointment, you will be showing them that their comfort is a priority. But comfort doesn’t have to come at the expense of style, and we have some very eye-catching sofas and chairs that will create a great first impression.
Many modern offices feature colourful breakout areas, offering a space where employees can relax and have a break or gather together to have brainstorming sessions or informal meetings. Comfortable seating is a must in these areas, and you can really get creative by using colourful modular units that can be pushed together to form different layouts and shapes.
If you’d like to provide booths and pods for people to work in when they need some peace and quiet, high-backed soft seating will give them somewhere comfortable to sit that will help lessen noise from the rest of the office. Practical and stylish, booths also provide the privacy most people need when trying to concentrate or if they’re having a small informal meeting.
Soft seating around the boardroom table is a great idea, especially if your organisation tends to have long meetings! Staff members and clients alike will always appreciate a comfortable seat. Uncomfortable chairs will divert their focus away from the task in hand and reduce productivity – though beware of providing seating that’s too comfortable as your visitors may want to hang around for too long!
Directors will benefit from soft seating in their offices, not only because it complements their high status in the company, but also because it provides a comfortable space where they can hold informal meetings. They are also the people most likely to need to stay in the office and work late, so it’s nice if they have somewhere to relax while working after everyone else has left.
