The Reception Desk: Your brand’s first impression

The Reception desk: Your brand’s first impression

Reception desks are more than just a place to store stationery or meet and greet visitors; they are the face of your business and play a crucial role in shaping the perception of your company. Join Frem as we explore the important role reception desks play in creating a lasting impression of your brand.

First impressions count

First impressions count. In most offices and workplaces, the reception desk is the first thing people see - whether they’re clients, delivery drivers, or employees. Ultimately, a beautifully crafted reception desk sets the scene and tone for a business.

A high-quality, well-designed reception desk conveys professionalism and pride in your brand. Conversely, a cluttered reception area with a worn reception desk may send the wrong message.

Branding

Reception desks should do more than serve a practical purpose—they should embody your brand. By integrating your company’s logo, colour palette, and signature design elements, the space becomes a cohesive extension of your identity, leaving a strong and memorable impression.

With over 35 years of experience and a skilled team of designers and craftsmen, we have the knowledge and expertise to create bespoke reception desks perfectly tailored to any business environment.

We work closely with each client to create the perfect solution that reflects their unique brand and industry standards.

The goal is to create a reception desk that seamlessly embodies and enhances the client’s brand identity, making a lasting first impression.

Thoughtful Design

Our furniture is thoughtfully designed to suit your budget while meeting the specific demands of your project—whether simple and understated or intricate and custom-built.

We offer the flexibility to incorporate a wide range of premium materials, including marble, granite, glass, and metal, alongside the warmth and authenticity of real wood. This combination of craftsmanship and material versatility allows us to bring stunning, one-of-a-kind concepts to life.

Functional reception desks

Although style and appearance are important, the practicality of a reception desk is equally essential. Reception staff need space to work comfortably and efficiently as well as be able to interact with staff and visitors.

The space should feel open and uncluttered, fostering effortless communication and creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment someone walks through the door.

Create a cohesive reception area

Reception desks are generally seen as the focal point of the reception area, but the wider reception area must not be forgotten!  Great lighting, comfortable seating, sleek office accessories, and thoughtful touches all help to make the space more inviting. You could consider adding acoustic solutions to reduce background noise, making the area more inviting for both visitors and staff.

If you are looking to refresh your office, starting with the reception area is a great way to kick off a wider rebrand or redesign, giving everyone the warmest of welcomes. Contact us to find out more and see how we can help.
