Right about this time, we always start thinking about how to freshen up our offices, and one way to do this is to consider new guest seating chairs. They are the first chair that your guest sees as they enter your office and we have a number of great options to choose from!  We previously ran an article on reception room seating and we discussed the various types you can choose from including contemporary styling, wooden furniture, and our easy care line. Today we are going to discuss single chair options that you can add to your personal office or in a smaller waiting area. If you’re looking for larger waiting room options, check back to our reception room seating article for some ideas!

As with reception room seating, when selecting a guest chair, you have to choose the style of your office. Each item you add to the office, including your guest seating, will help to achieve the design you are hoping to create.  We suggest first narrowing your price point. Seating Zone has created ways to narrow your search by this category.

Once you narrow your options, you can also look to what type of material you hope to include in your design. Are you looking for leather? An upholstered chair with pattern? A contemporary and durable plastic chair? How often do people sit in your office? Does it need to be very comfortable or can you get by with a basic chair that looks nice but doesn’t need to be thickly padded? Once you answer the questions of “who does the chair serve?” you can select the right chair for you!

Our Lesro Amherst Reception Guest Chair  for example, has some great fabric options that can match any décor. You can select the wood type and your fabric choice. It also comes armless, as seen here, or with arms.

In some cases, we aren’t looking for style. We just want a simple chair that matches are office furniture and that is suitable for meetings. One of our most popular items is the Boss Arm Stack Chair in Faux Leather. This black guest chair is simple in style, contemporary, and still looks classy as it serves its purpose while still being comfortable.  This chair is not meant for extensive use during the day, but when you have a one hour meeting or your colleague stops by for a quick chat, it’s the perfect chair.

Changing something as simple as a guest chair can update your office interior, refreshing your space and allowing you get back to business. Check out some of our guest chairs and see how you could update your seating space.
