3 layout rules that instantly improve a lobby
1) Keep the entry path clear
People should understand where to go the moment they walk in. Don’t force them to weave around furniture.
2) Match seat count to visitor volume
- Short waits: fewer seats, more openness
- Longer waits: more comfort, more durable materials
3) Choose materials that hold up
Reception seating gets heavy traffic and frequent cleaning. Commercial-grade fabrics and cleanable surfaces matter.
Reception desk basics (quick checklist)
- How many staff work at the desk?
