Significance

A reception area is the place in an office where a consumer is first greeted. The receptionist helps her get to where she needs to go. A receptionist's desk is the access point to all spaces beyond the waiting room. In addition to greeting people, a receptionist will answer phone calls, keep files and collect the mail as well as various other duties. Form as well as function are important considerations.

Styles and Considerations

Reception desks come in all different sizes, colors, shapes and textures. The style you choose will depend largely on the size of your office and what your business is. Traditional reception desks are easily accessible to people entering the office space. A receptionist can be viewed at her desk. There is plenty of space for a computer, telephone, notebooks and any other pertinent office supply items she needs. Reception desks often have a short wall rise on the side facing consumers for privacy.
