Waiting Room Furniture

Like all office furniture you need to plan the layout so the furniture looks atheistic compared to the size of the room.

1. The best way to do this is to roughly sketch out the waiting room on a piece of paper and add details like doorways, heaters and power sockets.
2. Select a few waiting room furniture options you like and add them to the plan. Try a combination of chairs and sofas if you have plenty of space or just use chairs if the space is on the small size.
3. Use a coffee or side table to space the furniture out and add a plant or two to make the room look more pleasing to the eye.
4. If you are short for space consider using long wall seating like the Forma which can be made in a long line, corner or U-shaped configuration. With each seat at only 61 cm wide you can seat 4 people within a 250 cm space. You can also break up the seating with a table or shelving in white or black.

If you new furniture needs to fit a very specific requirement please contact us for a furniture quote. We have a range of very flexible furniture that can be made to order to fit your requirements exactly.

These can include:

• Special heights, widths and depths
• Seat and armrests at a certain height
• Stiffer seat foam for very high use areas
• Smooth vinyl instead of textured for easier cleaning
• A specific type of chair leg for easy floor cleaning
• Crib5 fire rating which is mandatory in some locations
• Rounded coffee table corners to reduce wear and tear

Our waiting room furniture is easy to clean and is incredibly resilient to bumps and scratches. This makes our vinyl reception seating perfect for use in the medical profession. Many of our tables and vinyl chairs just need a quick wipe down with a mild disinfectant whenever they need to be cleaned.

Yes, our vinyl cleaning guide will give you some tips on spot removal.

Spot Removal Tips:

Step 1
Remove ordinary spots with soap and water.

Step 2
Harder spots can be taken away with alcohol (isopropyl). Complete the cleaning with some water on the clean area.

Step 3
Extremely hard spots can be removed with a cleaning agent like nail polish remover (acetone/water). The spot should be gone after trying maximally 6 times. Complete the cleaning with some water in the clean area. If the spot is still there, then it’s impossible to remove.

Begin with step 1.

Yes, we have a range of small and large charging sockets which include USB-C and UK 3-pin plug sockets. Most of these can be added to the front or side of the chair or sofa and seating with a wider arm a rotating socket can be added to the top of the armrest.

There are certain areas only a sofa will work but the following areas are more suitable for waiting room chairs. There can be for several reasons including needing the flexibility to add more waiting chairs at any time or a certain space between seated visitors is required.

These are just some of the suitable workplaces waiting room chairs are suitable for:

• Doctors surgeries
• Dentists 
• Clinics
• Spa waiting rooms

The main disadvantage of waiting room chairs compared to sofas is the chair will need straightening and rearranging more often than a sofa. Top tip: don't add cushions to the waiting room chairs because these will need rearranging every time the seating is used.
