Once you’re ready to furnish your employee work areas, you can focus on creating more comfort for your office visitors. The key to success is selecting the right visitor chairs. They should make visitors feel comfortable and relaxed and inspire confidence in your business. Find out how to get all this and more.
Living Area Layout
It is best if you draft the layout of the seating area before you go shopping for visitor chairs. This will give you an idea about how much furniture you need to get and its size. When creating the layout, you should consider the amount of space available and the average number of visitors to your office per hour.
Keep in mind that there should be a 15-inch clearance between a coffee table and the seating furniture around it. Side tables, on the other hand, should be about 4 inches apart. There should also be a small distance between the chairs.
Size
The size of the visitor chairs you buy will depend on the design you have created. Please note that models with armrests and those with a bathtub design will take up more space. The latter are wider and deeper. For maximum comfort, seat height should be between 16 and 21 inches.
Style
The main styles that you can select from are modern and classic. Classic pieces are larger and heavier. They usually have intricate decorative elements. They are suitable for larger offices and for companies that need to emphasize their long history and tradition.
Most buyers prefer the modern style. It has clean geometric shapes and straight lines. The pieces are compact and functional. Decorative elements play a functional role. While colors like black and white predominate, many pieces made from plastic come in bright hues like red, yellow, green, and orange. These tones are preferred by creative companies such as design studios.
Design
Traditional four-legged, backless, armless visitor chairs are simple and have a classic elegant appeal. Cantilever models are a popular choice because they are compact, easy to use, and easy to move, if needed. The so-called cafe chairs that have a single frame that provides back and armrests take up a little more space, but they look more attractive and provide more comfort. The bathtub models are elegant and super comfortable. They are an excellent option.
Last but not least, you should consider the brand of visitor chairs. They have to be strong and durable. The metal and plastic models are functional and affordable, while the wood and leather ones are quite sophisticated.
