No one likes waiting, whether it's for an important meeting, a medical appointment or a big interview. But by selecting the right furniture, you can make your waiting environment as pleasant as possible.
Waiting Room Chairs
Practicality
If your waiting room is used often, you need to think about how quickly the furniture you choose for it will wear out and how easy it is to clean. For example, in a hospital setting, there is a constant flow of people going in and out, and cleanliness is key, so plastic furniture is ideal as it is wipeable and will not stain. You can rest assured that here at Trent Furniture, we pride ourselves on supplying top-quality furniture.
Comfort
If you’ve ever had to endure sitting in an uncomfortable chair waiting for an appointment, you’ll know how much it can affect your mood. The last thing you want is to have to deal with grumpy people, and whilst this isn’t always avoidable, you can do your best to ensure their comfort. If you are looking for office waiting room furniture, you could consider some small sofa chairs or some cushioned chairs. Our faux leather sofas are ideal, as they are comfortable, but they are also stain and scuff resistant, meaning they will last for years to come.
Waiting Room Chair Styles
Whilst comfort and practicality are hugely important when choosing the chairs for your waiting room, style should also be a consideration, particularly in an office or salon setting, where potential clients will form their first impressions of your business from your waiting room. By injecting a bit of colour you can completely turn the room around. You can do this by purchasing furniture with bright accents or by selecting neutral furniture and accessorising with colourful pictures, curtains or adding some indoor plants for a fresh look.
Waiting Room Chair Sizes
If you are looking to furnish a small space, plastic or wooden chairs are likely to be your best option. Whilst sofas may be more comfortable, they may not be the most suitable, as they will typically only seat 1-2 people, but take up quite a lot of space. Another thing to consider is who is using the room. For most waiting areas, a standard chair size is appropriate, but will be any children using this space? For example, if you are looking to furnish your GP surgery waiting room, you could potentially create a child-friendly section of the room, with smaller chairs and some toys and books to keep them occupied.
Waiting Room Tables
The tables used in waiting rooms are typically very small as they will usually only be used for drinks and newspapers or magazines. Again, these tables must be easy to clean as they are likely to receive a fair amount of wear and tear. If hot drinks are something you offer to those waiting, consider purchasing coasters to reduce damage to your tables, especially if you opt for a wooden finish.
