The reception area that you create will be in direct proportion to both the type and size of your business. The sophistication and associated cost of building a stylish reception area, versus a basic one will depend in large part on what happens in the business. All reception areas have several furnishings and components in common:
- Receptionist desk/station
- A comfortable and ergonomically appropriate chair for the receptionist
- Chairs for guests to use while waiting
- A table to hold literature or magazines or to provide a surface for visitors for their purses, their briefcases or other personal belongings while waiting
