What are the most common reception area lighting mistakes?
Guests/customers/clients will head to the reception area of your property first. So if you want to make a good impression, and secure repeat business, you need to make sure the lighting is well thought out. Unfortunately, many companies miss out this step, and this leads to lighting mistakes, including:
- Lighting that is too bright
- Lighting that doesn’t suit the decor
- Lighting that doesn’t highlight the reception desk area
Lighting that is too bright
Lighting in any reception area needs to bright enough to allow good vision, but lighting that is too bright can be off-putting and even disorienting. As most of your customers will be arriving at the reception area straight from outside, low level light can help give the eyes chance to adjust.
Lighting that doesn’t suit the decor
If your space is contemporary or traditional and rustic, you need lighting to suit this. Choosing light fixtures and fittings that match the decor is a good way to make sure that your reception area has a strong theme, and choosing feature light fixtures to accentuate this can be a good idea.
