Stylish Reception Furniture Solutions
Investing in specially designed commercial waiting room furniture isn’t just about finding furniture that fits the brief and calling it a day. Waiting rooms are integral spaces where external opinions about your workplace are formed. It’s vital to spend as much care and thought into designing a reception space as an office or boardroom. With our team of experts, you can guarantee functional seating that delivers comfort, style and relaxation.
Reception Furniture Range
Our product range made up of furniture for reception areas is welcoming, professional and versatile. Browse our extensive collection of reception desks to set the right tone for your client and customer’s entrance, and explore our comfortable waiting chairs in a variety of textures and colours to match your branding. We understand the need for flexibility and flow in a waiting area, so we’ll work with your specifications to find the most appropriate set-up, complete with decor and other aesthetic elements.

Waiting Room Furniture: Comfortable By Design
Commercial waiting room furniture should be nothing if not comfortable. These temporary spaces are easy to overlook in larger workplace or office design projects, but your clients and customers will be quick to make negative judgements if your waiting room isn’t up to par with the rest of your venue design. Show your level of customer care and professionalism by creating a reception area that hits the brief just right.
Waiting For Your Waiting Room: How It Works
The team at Topaz pride ourselves on our flexibility. Whether you’re working with a designer or an architect who’s drafting up grand plans, or you’re knocking on our doorstep with little more than an idea, we’ll work together. We can put you in contact with our in-house designers, or work with your wider team to achieve your vision.
Step 01
Discuss
We’ll work with you, whether you need a simple reception room fit out on a tight budget, or executive reception furniture with all the bells and whistles. Tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll discuss how to make it happen.
Step 02
Design & Document
Once we understand the vision, we’ll design and document the plans, keeping you informed and in agreement along the way. We’ll draft up sketches, provide clearly presented quotes, and arrange a timeline for the installation of your new reception and waiting area. If you’re coming to us with existing plans, we’ll work with you and your designer to build your vision into reality.
Step 03
Deliver
The final step in our process is to get your reception set up and ready for use on time. Our qualified and experienced team will carefully assemble and install your new furniture, at an allotted time slot chosen by you. Punctual delivery and leaving your office clean and tidy is our promise!

Item
Description
Comfortable Seating
Provide ergonomic, well-cushioned seating for guests and employees. It’s wise to select a mix of sofas, armchairs, and modular seating to accommodate different group sizes.
Reception Desk & Signage
Your reception desk should be functional for its purpose, with enough space for staff and necessary equipment. Add clear signage for directions (such as sign in options if the desk is unattended), company branding, and a welcoming message.
Small Tables & Surfaces
Provide coffee tables or side tables for guests to place personal items, drinks, or reading materials, whilst contributing to the ambient feel of the space through a stylish design.
Entertainment & Engagement
Include magazines, company brochures, or digital screens displaying news, company updates, or promotional content. Background music or a TV can add further enhancement, and don’t forget charging stations for guests’ own devices.
Amenities
Add a water station, coffee machine, or refreshments to enhance the visitor experience. Ensure access to Wi-Fi with clear instructions displayed, and a coat rack or lockers for safely storing guest belongings.
Display Cabinets
Provide a place to showcase awards, company achievements, or products in display cabinets for guests and clients to admire while they wait.
Clean & Organised Space
Establish a regular cleaning and decluttering routine to maintain a professional look and set the right impression, with storage solutions for decorative items when not in use.
Accessibility & Flow
Ensure clear pathways for easy movement, including wheelchair accessibility. Position the reception desk for maximum visibility upon entry, and maintain privacy in waiting rooms by installing screen partitions or tall plants.
Lighting & Ambience
Use a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere most relevant to your industry. Amplify key areas such as the reception desk and branding elements through strategic lighting choices.
Plants & Decor
Incorporate indoor plants or greenery to enhance air quality and create a more inviting, welcoming space. Use artwork, decorative elements, and feature walls to reflect the company’s identity and culture.
Climate Control & Comfort

Joanne Scicluna
Executive Assistant
Topaz were extremely supportive in helping us select furniture that suited our specific fit out requirements and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
The boardroom space is a particular favourite of ours. Teagan and the team were quick and efficient in providing their recommendations and in helping us navigate the selection process.
Matthew Bruce
Director
Working with Topaz was really easy, they spent a lot of time with me to really understand what our business needed, beyond furniture I guess, what were our budgets, what were our timescales and what we were trying to achieve.
And they were able to come back with a few options that I could bring back to our stakeholders, so we could move forward with a solution.
