7 Ways To Take Your Lobby To A Whole New Level

Get ready to rock your office lobby makeover project! Today on the OfficeFurnitureDeals.com blog we're highlighting the hottest remodeling trends of the year. With the innovative new products from brands like OFM, Mayline, and Global Total Office you'll be able to leave a lasting impression on your valued visitors without breaking the bank. Let's check out the cutting edge ideas and workplace solutions that are making it easy for businesses to think outside the box with their professional waiting areas.

This year, it's all about two tone upholstery options. The days of getting away with traditional black chairs are coming to an end. In this modern era, two tone sofas and reception chairs are rapidly becoming the industry standard. Check out the Uno and Recoil series chairs from OFM to see what we mean!

Provide your guests with a little something extra by incorporating tablet arm seating into your lounge and lobby area! Tablet arm chairs allow guests to work comfortably while they wait without using their knees as an operating surface. Tablet chairs like the Santa Cruz from Mayline are an absolute must consider for any business looking to create a cool lobby that's up to date with the years hottest trends.

Take a moment to look out into your lobby. The odds are, you're seeing multiple guests using their devices while they wait. As well all know, battery life is precious! To improve the guest waiting experience, trend setting furniture manufacturers are introducing powered seating outfitted with USB and AC input options. Your lobby guests will feel a bit out of place hunting down a wall outlet when they visit. With powered chairs, they won't have to. This is one trend that's most definitely here to stay.

The say the difference is in the details. We couldn't agree more! The add-ons and accents incorporated into your space will work together to wow your guests. We suggest getting rid of that old school corner mounted TV and replacing it with a wall mounted flat screen. To put it simply, older TV's make your lobby look dated and the picture quality is awful. In 2016 you can pick up an awesome 40" flat screen for less than $300.00 and any big box store. An articulating screen mounting system will allow your visitors to adjust the angle of the TV to enjoy an awesome viewing experience while they wait for their important appointment.

Get outside the ordinary concept of a sofa and two lounge chairs. Kick up corporate appeal by going modular instead. Brands like Global Total Office are making it easy to create one of a kind seating layouts with modern collections like River. The lobby furniture and seating components from this line are unlike anything on the market. With River you'll be able to quickly and easily outfit waiting areas both small and large with incredible configurations unlike anything you've ever seen. Utilizing modular seating will show your visitors just how far behind you're leaving the competition.

This year we're seeing a huge increase in the number of chairs available on the market with lower level storage shelves. As space is always at a premium, outfitting your lobby with chairs that can double as magazine holders is just plain smart. It's also very cool! Don't leave tables strewn across your coffee table. Keep your space look nice and neat by storing them properly underneath chairs like the Contour from OFM.

If you're not loving the look of chairs with storage, at least consider purchasing accent tables with built in shelves. This popular trend will provide your business with yet another smart way to save space while simultaneously improving appeal. You want your lobby to look clean and professional for every guest. Tables like the 3880 model from the Wind Linear collection showcase this booming trend to perfect. With a blend of contemporary and retro stylings, the 3880 table is an awesome option for any upscale lobby remodeling project.

This large L shaped station includes an 87 1/4" front work surface that's complimented by a 48" wide return. The MNRSLBF is available in other trend setting tones like Textured Sea Salt and Brown Sugar, but we prefer the gray! This is definitely on of the coolest reception area welcome desks ever created. If you're looking to make a statement, there's no better option in 2016.

Office Chair Review: OTG11786B by Offices To Go

Offices To Go is the absolute best brand for discount seating that doesn't lack in terms of style and quality. Take one look at their new lineup of chairs and you'll see what we mean. Over the next few weeks we'll have the pleasure of testing many of their newest models, including the all new OTG11786B that's the topic of today's post. This super cool specialty chair was an absolute pleasure to review!

Style:

When we first saw the OTG11786B model office chair from Offices To Go, we were blown away. It's far different than the mesh back chairs they're known for. With distinctively bold characteristics, this new chair is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with similar seating styles that all start to run together. Upon closer inspector we were impressed by the flared seat and back contours. They provide a secure feeling when sitting and add to the modern look. When paired with the polished base, the OTG11786B makes a luxurious statement in any setting.

Ergonomics:

You won't find many ergonomic bells and whistles on the OTG11786B. If you're looking for a top of the line ergonomic office chair, this isn't the model for you. That being said, the single position tilt lock mechanism with tilt tension knob does make it easy to find a comfortable sit. With it's well padded seating surfaces, the OTG11786B provides a great deal of support for an office chair lacking the modern ergo attributes found on many of 2016's most popular models. All in all, the OTG11786B passes the sit test. That being said, with the seat and back flares we definitely recommend testing this chair in person. Some of our larger chair operators found them a bit restricting.

Applications:

While referred to as a "specialty chair" by by Offices To Go, we consider it and ideal option for two main areas. In the executive office, the OTG11786B will make an impression on your valued visitors and earn your interior the compliments it deserves. We also feel this sleek new chair is a great fit in professional conference room settings. With cool color options like saddle, classic black, and charcoal gray available, the OTG11786B is the perfect addition to any modern meeting area looking to step away from the overly stuffed, bulky conference room models that dominated the market in years passed. If you're looking for a cool white boardroom chair to enhance your corporate gathering space, OTG has you covered. The white Luxhide option is our personal favorite and we recommend it for any business looking to match gray and espresso woodgrain tones.

Price:

At the everyday low price of just $202.99, the standard black Luxhide OTG11786B variation can be yours. That being said, we recommend paying the extra few bucks to step up to a unique color option. Charcoal gray, black, white, saddle, and other tones are available for $229.99. While we typically hate uncharges that don't reflect the upholstery grade, it's worth it in this case. Black chairs will always have their place, but for less than thirty dollars more you can really rock your interiors! The minimal investment will be recaptured with the positive impressions left on your important customers.

Rating:

We give the new OTG11786B a respectable 3 out of 5 star rating. Our main deductions came due to a lack of overall adjustment features. We'd also like to see the chair be made available with an optional headrest to create a more upscale executive vibe. Overall, this Offices To Go seating solution is a winner in the workplace. For the money, it provides exception style and the quality craftsmanship needed to have your interiors looking ahead of the curve for years to come.
