Reception Furniture

Your reception area is the first thing visitors, clients, and employees see when they enter your workspace. It sets the tone for your company’s identity, professionalism, and values. At CID Spaces, we understand that selecting the right reception furniture is about more than just aesthetics – it’s about functionality, comfort, and creating a welcoming environment.

Reception Desk

The reception desk is the focal point of your entrance space. It needs to be both stylish and practical, offering a professional appearance while accommodating the needs of reception staff. Consider:

  • Size & Layout: Should fit comfortably within the space while allowing easy access for visitors and employees.
  • Storage & Organization: Built-in drawers, shelves, and cable management keep the area clutter-free.
  • Materials & Finish: Options include wood, glass, laminate, and metal, each offering a different aesthetic and level of durability.
  • Accessibility: A reception desk should comply with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) guidelines, providing an accessible height section for wheelchair users.

Soft Seating for Clients & Visitors

Comfortable seating makes waiting more pleasant and reflects your company’s hospitality. Consider:

  • Style & Branding: Choose chairs or sofas that complement your corporate identity and colour scheme.
  • Durability & Maintenance: High-traffic areas require sturdy materials like leather, vinyl, or stain-resistant fabrics.
  • Space Efficiency: Modular seating, individual chairs, or bench-style options help maximize space in smaller areas.
  • Functionality: Armrests, high backs, and lumbar support enhance comfort, particularly for longer waiting periods.

Additional Reception Area Features

Enhancing your reception area with practical and stylish elements can make a significant impact.

  • Coffee Tables & Side Tables: Provide a surface for visitors to place items, read magazines, or access company brochures.
  • Reception Storage: Integrated cupboards, shelving, and display units keep the space tidy and organized.
  • Lighting Solutions: Soft, warm lighting creates a welcoming atmosphere, while task lighting at the desk ensures functionality.
  • Technology Integration: Digital sign-in screens, charging points, and display screens for company updates can enhance the visitor experience.

Custom Reception Solutions

At CID Spaces, we offer a range of reception furniture tailored to your workspace needs. Whether you need a modern, minimalist aesthetic or a more traditional, welcoming feel, we can help design and supply the right solution. From high-quality reception desks to bespoke seating arrangements, we ensure your front-of-house makes a lasting impression.

Other Items to Consider for Office Desks

Acoustic Panels & Soundproofing

Reducing noise levels can create a more peaceful and professional environment, particularly in busy reception areas.

Branding & Signage

Incorporating your company’s logo, colours, or custom wall graphics can reinforce your brand identity.

Greenery & Biophilic Design

Adding plants or living walls enhances the ambiance, improves air quality, and creates a more inviting atmosphere.

Michael Deacon JacksonFTD Johns

We had the pleasure of working with our neighbours, CID Spaces, for our office fit-out, and we are very happy with the results. The communication and standard of workmanship was outstanding, and they completed the project on time and within budget. I can highly recommend CID Spaces.

Eddie DavisEJD Project Solutions

I have worked on many projects with CID Spaces, most recently completing a successful Fit-Out project for my client in King William Street, London. CID Spaces are a very professional, experienced, flexible and reliable company. All the team strive to keep their customers happy, projects are delivered on time and within budget and I have always found them to be very competitive when tendering against competitors. I highly recommend CID Spaces.

Sue FullardFullard Rosier Chartered Surveyors

The client is delighted with the way you handled the project and the end result. I know that he has already passed on your details to someone else who has had difficulties with London fit outs, so hopefully, there will be more of the same in the pipeline for you. From the experience I had CID, I am more than happy to make the recommendation, and will continue to do so for you when I am in a position so to do.

Charlie ToonRoam

I just wanted to say thank – the office looks amazing. Jason has been a dream, he’s polite, clean, tidy and ever so helpful. Our team really took to him and adopted him as one of our own.

Andrew DungateSES Water

I’ve only had positive comments about the work carried out by CID Spaces. Our MD was very impressed with the work. He said he didn’t notice anything until this morning which proves it was a neat and tidy job! Laura has said that we aren’t going to recommend you to anyone else... just in case you can’t fit our work in!

Stuart AyrtonCello Health

Working with yourselves and the rest of your extended team really has been a pleasure. I will sing your praises and recommend you to all with in our team and outwards. If you think our new office will assist in any new business negotiations I’d love to show it off. I have had amazing feedback from the senior team about here so thank you for that.

Robin RobertsSutton Housing Society

We worked with CID Spaces to help us transform our office space – these works included a new reception, board room, offices, break out spaces and communal kitchen. The finished spaces work well, we continue to receive compliments from everyone who visits. The space has a timeless look and was finished to an exceptionally high standard!

Darren MulhallSteriTech

We engaged CID Spaces for the design and fit-out of our office and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. Working with CID was a pleasure, their senior team were involved from the start and we were impressed at how they bought into our brief and brought suggestions to us. CID Spaces handled the entire refurbishment, with great attention to detail. The build went smoothly, and quality of the workmanship was excellengt.

Ryan MarshallRoam

Highly recommend CID Workspace. It was a seamless transition, with their team more than happy to work around us during standard office hours - checking in first when scheduling the different stages of work to ensure there was minimal disruption to areas such as the meeting rooms.

Jackie HarmsworthAerFin

CID Spaces have completed two refurbishment projects for us, both of which have been very successful. As a Company we would happily use CID again and recommend their services to others.

Glynis GatenbySutton Housing Society

I'd like to offer our appreciation of the chaps that have been working on the scheme carrying out the lounge refurbishment. Without exception they have been quiet, polite, helpful and a joy to have around – they can’t speak highly enough about them.

Nick KeaneyNick Baker Architects

I very much trust we can continue to find things to work together on. It has been a pleasure in this day and age, with so many unhelpful and contractual contractors, to work with your company.

Sara MitchellBytes Software Services

CID Spaces recently completed a refurbishment of our at our offices. The workmen were tidy and cordoned off the refurbishment area well which was important as the work was carried our during office hours. The project was finished on schedule and within budget, and I am very pleased with the quality of the work. All the team there are extremely pleasant to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
