What requirements must a reception meet? Practical tips

A reception area must be clearly recognizable and highly visible upon entry. Furthermore, your reception provides not only a functional workplace for your employees but also a welcoming, comfortable environment for visitors. Consider ergonomics, sufficient storage space, and a logical positioning within the office.

What does a reception look like?

That depends on your corporate culture and the available space. A reception can be sleek and modern, or rather warm and domestic. What they have in common: an inviting appearance, well-chosen materials, and practical elements such as seating and lighting.

What is a 'reception desk'?

A reception desk is the central piece of furniture in the reception area. This is where you greet visitors, answer questions, and where the first contact begins.

What is the ideal height for a reception desk?

The standard height is around 110 cm for a standing reception point. For seated workstations, 75 cm is usually used. In many cases, we work with a combination or an adjustable solution so that the desk can be adapted to different needs.

Reception & counter design

The reception is often the first point of contact with your organization. A thoughtfully designed reception area ensures a professional appearance and a warm welcome for clients, visitors, and employees.

PGA Totaalinrichters designs reception areas that are not only visually convincing but also function effectively in practice.

A reception area that works

A well-designed reception goes beyond just a desk. It is an interplay of layout, materials, lighting, and experience.

We examine how visitors enter, where they wait, and how employees use the space. In this way, we create an environment that offers clarity, radiates tranquility, and works efficiently.

Functional reception desk

The desk forms the central point of the room. We ensure a design that is both aesthetic and practical, with attention to working height, storage space, and ease of use.

Depending on the situation, we can work with fixed or adjustable solutions, tailored to the usage and the employees.

Pleasant waiting area

The reception area determines how visitors experience your organization.

We integrate comfortable seating, thoughtful lighting, and potentially information screens or green elements. Everything contributes to a pleasant and professional atmosphere.

Your identity translated into space

The design of your reception is an extension of your brand.

Colors, materials, and shapes are aligned with your corporate style and business identity. This creates a space that feels recognizable and immediately gives the right impression.

Thoughtful approach

PGA starts every project with a thorough analysis.

We map out your wishes, visitor flows, and usage, and translate this into a concrete design. During execution, we ensure a structured process and a correct delivery down to the last detail.
