Enhancing The Office: Waiting Room Makeover Ideas, Tips, and Product Suggestions

Are you ready to tackle a waiting room makeover project? We've got you covered. Today in our 'Enhancing The Office' series we'll showcase cool new furniture and seating ideas in addition to helpful remodeling tips to make your space the best it can be. Prepare to be impressed!

When ready to kick off your waiting room makeover, it's important to start with some basic space planning. Start by measuring your space and taking note of all entry ways, power outlets, windows, and other room obstructions that will affect the way your furniture fits.

Next you'll want to draw out the basic perimeter of your space on a sheet of paper and make copies. Now you have a place to sketch in furniture layouts to see what works best. Rest assured, there's nothing worse than purchasing new waiting room furniture only to find that it doesn't look good in your space or fit properly.

Once your space has been properly measured and you have an idea of how you want your furniture to be arranged, it's time to get inspired. Start at social sharing sites on the web like Pinterest and Instagram. Doing a few simple searches for waiting room ideas will yield a ton of results. If you're still not inspired, consider visiting an office furniture showroom. Your an also check out surrounding businesses to see what they're using.

This year powered lounge chairs, tablet arm seating, and reception benches have all been incredibly popular. What they all have in common is the ability to maximize square footage and improve the guest experience. While there's nothing wrong with a traditional lounge chair and sofa arrangement, it's now easier than ever to think outside the box.

If you want to design a space that really pops and distinguishes your business, modular waiting room seating collections like Jefferson from Woodstock Marketing and River from Global have you covered. These innovative lines offer powered components that allow visitors to work while they wait, in addition to really cool components that will earn your interior the compliments it deserves.

It also helps to have a fashionable welcome desk present in your waiting room. The welcome desk serves as a place for guests to check-in and ask questions when they arrive. Brands like Mayline, Bush Business Furniture, and OFM all offer awesome welcome desks to consider for your project.

Last but not least, no professional waiting room makeover project is complete without a few accents. We recommend starting with a combination of side tables, lighting fixtures, and an area rug. The waiting room accent tables you select will serve as a place to display literature while simultaneously improving the overall vibe of your space. Lighting fixtures serve as statement pieces while area rugs can be used to pull in a touch of color. Just remember, there's no need to over do it with the accents. A subtle touch is always best as you don't want your space to look overcrowded.

In the long run, remodeling your waiting room should be a fun and rewarding experience. If you're struggling with the process, don't be afraid to contract a professional designer for advice. With proper space planning and a focus on improving the visitor experience, you really can't go wrong!

Compute Smarter With Sit To Stand Furniture

Work smarter, not harder. You've heard the saying, but are you doing anything about it? With sit to stand furniture you can. From desktop risers to electric workstations, transitioning between sitting and standing has never been easier. Today on the blog we'll showcase the hottest sit to stand products on the market and the features that make them great.

First up is the Allure sit to stand dual screen monitor arm from Symmetry. This heavy duty computer screen mount can be attached to virtually any surface with it's clamping mechanism. The Allure comes standard with a 16" pole and supports screens up to 20 pounds. At $462.99 the Allure is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. This ergonomic component is worth every penny and will have you well on your way to an ergonomically correct workstation that makes it easy to compute smarter.

If you opt for a sit to stand monitor arm, you'll need a keyboard tray with the same capabilities. You certainly don't want to be hunching over to type at your desk with your screens way up in the air. That defeats the purpose of what you're trying to accomplish! We recommend the Balance 3. This complimenting product from Symmetry will help you refine your workspace while simultaneously creating a ton of extra surface area to utilize while computing.

If you don't like the idea of purchasing a monitor arm and keyboard tray separately, go with an all in one unit like the Volanate from Systematix. This adjustable desktop attachment boasts a spacious operating surface to accommodate 2 computer screens in addition to a built in keyboard platform. The Volante is incredibly well made and a great buy at jut $299.99.

The wide range of sit to stand solutions has created a new market for perch stools. Standing can be tiring, but sitting can be dangerous. So what's the solution? A perch stool that offers the best of both worlds. The FFS-1000 Focal Mobis from Safco makes it easy to transition between sitting and standing while enjoying a little extra support. An ergonomic active stool like the Mobis will promote continuous posture changes that keep you from sitting stagnant for hours on end.

If you're looking to purchase all new office furniture for your workspace, Bush has your ergonomic needs in mind. Many of their furniture collections like the 400 series offer height adjustable workstations with push button controls. The idea of attaching a desktop riser onto beautiful furniture can be a bit unappealing for executives looking to create a professional vibe. Electric workstations like the 400S193 eliminate that problem without sacrificing the sit to stand benefits.

In the long run, a healthy mix of sitting and standing is the way to go. If you're looking to computer smarter, you have to stay active. Invest in furniture and seating solutions that encourage continuous movement to reduce fatigue and improve blood flow. Once you've created an ergonomically correct interior that's built for your specific needs, increased productivity levels will soon follow.
