Question 1

What is a corner desk?

Accepted Answer

The cornerstone of a busy reception space is the desk. But corner reception desks need to work extra hard and are designed accordingly. They need to function as reception counters which means clean and clear surfaces, but the busy receptionist will need strategically placed storage and working areas which may need to be out of public view.

Desks for multiple receptionists

Reception areas may need to be staffed by multiple people at the same time, meaning extra desk space is required. Corner desks allow additional workstations and storage to be placed to the sides, away from visitors, and also serve as a functional barrier in public spaces.

Question 2

What do I need to think about when placing my reception desk?

Accepted Answer

We all know that commercial space is expensive and that every square inch counts, but ideally, desks shouldn’t be wedged into small spaces.
Make sure yours is open and accessible to visitors. It might need to be placed in a seemingly awkward area, for example: between an entrance door and an internal lift or directly in front of a waiting area made up of mixed seating and standing areas.
Our extensive range of corner desks brings you practical, great looking solutions for all spaces, with desks available in right and left hand configurations, as high or standing desks and with lower access points too, for maximum accessibility.

Question 3

How can a cleverly designed desk help to make the most of my wall space?

Accepted Answer

A well designed corner desk allows for additional customer touch points in the direction that works best for your room. Whether you’re looking at placing it as a traditional desk or service counter, these flexible desks can be configured to suit.

They work brilliantly as clinic counters too, creating extra space available for staff and patient contact, while allowing maximum privacy to be maintained.
