How to furnish a waiting room

How to furnish a waiting room? In addition to the interior of an office or study, it is also important to furnish the waiting area with care and attention. Always remember that the waiting room is the place of first impressions in a study or office. For this reason, furnishing this space with the utmost care and attention is very important for your business or professional activity.

The waiting room of a study or office is the first room you come across and therefore represents a sort of business card for the spaces you enter. Here are some important tips and advice on completing the furnishings of a waiting room.

Waiting room furniture: using colour as a tool for visual impact

When entering a waiting room, the first visual impact is probably represented by the chromatic characters: for this reason, when furnishing a waiting room it is first of all important to know how to use colour wisely. Our advice in this regard is to avoid the use of dark colours and shades (especially when furnishing a waiting room in a doctor's surgery). Using light and positive colours will be important to give clients and/or patients a sense of security, tranquillity and serenity.

When furnishing the waiting room of a dentist's surgery, we particularly recommend the use of colours such as light green, pale blue, simple white or beige. Light blue and white in particular are colours that evoke a sense of purity, cleanliness and tranquillity like no other. This is why they are particularly suitable for use in the waiting room of a doctor's surgery. Green is also a colour that expresses a great sense of relaxation, while beige is capable of creating a direct connection with nature and open spaces in general.

If you have a more decisive and eclectic character, it is not in this case to exclude the use of more intense and energetic colours such as yellow: this colour is able to create in a space a strong energy and brightness. Alternatively, you could use orange, a colour known for its particular ability to calm stress and nervous tension. If the waiting room you are going to furnish is not a doctor's or dentist's office, in this case you can dare to use other types of warm colours, such as dove grey, light brown or ochre.

For the waiting rooms of an activity reserved for children (medical doctors, paediatricians and those who specialise in assisting the little ones), it is better in this case to opt for the use of brighter colours, perhaps accompanied by cheerful figures of animals, or other fantasies pleasant for children to apply to the walls.

What a modern waiting room must have

When furnishing a modern waiting room, you must never forget the type of service or specialisation offered to customers. With reference to the latter, we will in fact identify a style and design that is as suitable as possible for the identity of your professional studio or office. In this regard, you can decide to give your waiting room a more minimal and modern look, a more informal or colourful style, or even a more natural and spontaneous design, among many other style ideas.

Of course, in order to be able to sit down in your waiting room, customers will need to find comfortable seating. Before even choosing the best waiting room chair model, you will need to think about where to place and arrange the seats. In this regard, it is good to consider the fact that often and willingly customers inside a waiting room like to stay apart, leafing through magazines or simply relaxing. For this reason, in positioning the chairs it is always a good idea to find the right compromise between the space you have available and the needs of convenience and comfort of the customers. When arranging the seats in the waiting room you must also consider the exposure of the windows. You can decide to install curtains on the windows, but without excessively oppressing the environment, considering how important it is to enjoy natural light in this space.

Once you have chosen the position of the furniture, you can then try your hand at choosing the most suitable seats for your specific needs and requirements. Our advice is always to put comfort and functionality first. Ensuring maximum comfort will show that you care about your customers.

In a modern waiting room, in addition to comfortable chairs and armchairs, there should also be at least one small table on which you can place magazines, flyers about your business and other advertising brochures. Your waiting room should also have a small table with some games and books for children: in this way your customers can comfortably stay in your waiting room with their children.

Lastly, in a modern waiting room it is absolutely coherent to arrange paintings and plants to embellish and decorate the environment. To create a more dynamic effect, you can opt for a combination of floor-standing and hanging pots, from which a few climbing plants will grow.

More tips and ideas for furnishing a waiting room

To give personality and dynamism to the space in your waiting room, our advice is to play with balance and volume. Another aspect to consider with the utmost attention is lighting. Lighting always plays an important role in interior design, and waiting rooms are no exception.

For the correct lighting of your waiting room we advise you to use lights that are not too warm and not too intrusive: the most suitable lighting solution for a waiting room could be represented by classic ceiling spotlights.

In a waiting room it is also important to choose the right light colour to suit your type of business or professional activity. If your business or professional activity involves fairly long waits, you can opt for a medium warm light. In this way you will create a light with a relaxing colour, so that your customers will feel that they are in a particularly comfortable and peaceful environment.
