What Does Your Office Furniture Say About You?

Decorating your office is an important part of selling your product. When people come into your office they will get a vibe depending on how it is decorated. A major part of sending this vibe is through the office furniture. Here are a couple different options of office furniture and what they say about you.

1. Cloth and Plush

Cloth and plush furniture is usually something you would see in a family room of a house. It is comforting and inviting. By putting this kind of furniture in your office you are welcoming people into your office and telling them to relax and stay for a while.

People who make money from having people feel comfortable around them should consider this kind of furniture. Therapists are a good example of people who benefit from very comfortable furnishings. A therapist's clients must feel at home in their office or else they won't feel comfortable enough to disclose personal information. In addition, the colors should be warm and promote a safe feeling, such as browns, tans, and creams.

2. Leather and Modern

In some cases, you want your clients to be on their best behavior and professional around you. When you put modern leather furniture in your office you show you are a professional person. You don't necessarily want them to stay for a long period of time, but while your clients are there they should get a vibe that they are in the presence of a professional person who is equipped to handle their problems.

Professionals such as attorneys, accountants, consultants and other similar professions should consider leather and modern decor. This will help them to appear capable to handle difficult problems.

3. Wood and Sparse

Wood furniture is very old fashioned. It is environmentally friendly and is great for people who are trying to keep things simple. Wood furniture is not necessarily comfortable, nor is it inviting in an office space. For this reason, if you are trying to invite people into your office to sit for a long period of time and relax, you should avoid wood.

Professions that could use wood are those involved with interior design, old-fashioned services, such as home cooked catering, and those that are trying to encourage a certain mood in their office that only wood can achieve, such as green, natural initiative.

These are just a couple options of office furniture that are available to you.
