As we near the start of the new year, it’s time for resolutions and commitments to reinvigorate our lives. Whether it’s a commitment to diet and exercise, financial goals, or relationship building the idea of a fresh start is appealing to so many of us. How about we take that positive energy and direct it to a professional renewal? I’m thinking a new reception area would be a great place to start.

As I have been working over the past few weeks, I keep coming back to reception desks. I am drawn to the L shaped models. To me, I want my receptionist to have plenty of workspace with ample storage in a workstation that is clean and professional, after all this piece of office furniture will be the first a guest sees when entering the building. So, a balance needs to be made. The L shaped reception desk should be attractive and a part of the overall office design palette and should be highly functional for one of the busiest workers in any office.

That’s why I am drawn to the L shaped reception desk. It offers two sides of style facing the front door as well as two separate desktops for the receptionist to focus their work. Not only that, but more desk means more room for storage options. More than any other desk in the office, the reception area must be clean and professional because everyone will see it. It’s not a desk where a worker can hide behind a closed door if need be; it’s always on display for the most important people who enter the office- the clients.

I have selected five L shaped reception desks offerings to start from in your search for your new L shaped reception desk. I have selected one model from each brand under the Madison Liquidators umbrella. Each L shaped reception desk offers something different from the other. Each shows personality that can be united in the right office environment for a seamless transition to your new reception area office furniture.

I’ve shared this L shaped reception desk before. I love the simplicity and sophistication of this L shaped reception desk with white transaction counter from Corp Design.
