Meeting Room Furniture

What are the different types of meeting room table?

Meeting room tables come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, just as modern meeting and conference rooms do. Our meeting tables are available in rectangle, round and oval shapes so you’ll find something to fit every room.

There are traditional classic executive styles for formal boardrooms, folding or tilt-top options for training or multi-use spaces and even ultra flexible standing and height-adjustable versions.

How can I furnish a multi-functional meeting space?

A modern meeting room table and chairs need to be multi-functional and can be configured into a number of different arrangements quickly and easily.

When furnishing a dedicated meeting room, think about all the different ways you could use the space and make sure that all of the furniture you invest in has the ability to multitask.

For example, our Blade folding conference table can work individually or be easily wheeled together to make larger meeting tables, allowing you to change from boardroom table to a classroom in a trice. For standing events they can be folded up and wheeled away, allowing staff to easily and safely set up the room at a moment’s notice.

What are the benefits of a round meeting room table?

Sometimes the best way to really get people talking is to bring them together in the round. Our range of circular meeting room tables comes in hard-wearing coloured laminates, wooden finishes and classic black and white so there’s one to work with every interior design palette.

Enhance tables with designer meeting chairs with modern curves and colours, or add round stools or retro style tub chairs for an informal, design-led look that works beautifully with laminate or wood boardroom tables.

What about meeting room furniture for larger groups?

If you’re intending to devote dedicated commercial space to meetings it’s likely you’ll be hosting larger groups at some point - so it's sensible to start the furniture design process by thinking about the largest number of people you’ll need to accommodate and working backwards from that.

We recommend investing in a larger table and a suitable number of chairs from the start - so that when the big meetings do happen there isn’t an undignified scramble for mismatching chairs and badly arranged temporary tables.

One large central round boardroom table and chairs can make a room feel really spacious too, especially if you take the time to think about sleek shapes and finishes like lighter coloured or glass table tops. Take a look at our extensive range of meeting chairs too, to match or contrast any design in supreme comfort.

What furniture do I need for a meeting room?

The obvious solution is the classic large table - but modern meetings can be held on comfortable sofas, standing around high tables or even sitting on stools. The more interesting the meeting area the better - and the more engaged your attendees will be.

With the high cost of office space these days it’s increasingly common to use the meeting room as a multi-purpose space - for example, a breakout area or a training room. Don’t forget to include a low cabinet for media and tea/coffee storage.
