It’s important to make a good first impression. This is exactly what your office reception area will do. It is important to keep your office cleaning and tidy as this will be the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your business. As they wait for their appointment they will no doubt form an opinion about your company based upon how they are treated. There are many things that could make your next meeting a disaster, from cluttered counters and muddy carpets to persistent lunch smells.
A welcoming and clean reception area will make your business stand out to potential employees and customers as well as clients who visit your office. Here are four ways you can make your office clean look its best.
Declutter and organize
Visitors will feel uncomfortable in a crowded, chaotic reception area. A small, unorganized space can have a negative effect on your business. These are some ways to make your office reception feel larger and cleaner.
Get rid of all the clutter
Look for other solutions if your reception area is used for filing, stationary, or business equipment. You should limit the number of magazines you have in your reception. While magazines can be an attractive option for clients, it is important to not clutter up your reception. A small and regularly updated collection of magazines will suffice.
Think about what furniture you choose for your reception.
Reduce the amount of furniture in your reception area. You don’t want your guests to wait in your reception area waiting for appointments. Having a few modern chairs and some nice plants around your space will help open it up and give it a more natural feel.
Avoid bad odors
Open plan offices can be difficult to ignore the smells of coffee and tupperware lunches. These smells may be lingering and lingerie. It is important to reduce the smells in your reception area. Bad smells can greatly influence visitors’ first impressions of your business. You should ban food consumption in your reception area. Also, you might consider using essential oils burners or scent diffusers to ensure that your reception is as pleasant and inviting as possible.
Choose the best flooring for your space
The reception area will likely see a lot of foot traffic (employees are likely to pass through it on their way to their desks). Your reception area will require more frequent mopping, hoovering and sweeping than other rooms. You can prevent dirt and mud from getting into your reception area by using a boot scraper or the right type of doormat.
Add waste facilities
In your reception area, a small waste/recycling container is a must-have. These extras can be used to help guests dispose of their rubbish quickly and efficiently, without contaminating your office. You can also provide water dispensers to add comfort and convenience to your waiting area.
