Decorating and Lighting a Business Lobby



 The lobby creates the first impression when entering an office, hotel, etc. It’s also the last space you see, so it be memorable. Here are a few points to take into consideration.
Because the lobby is also often the waiting area, it’s important for these spaces to be inviting and comfortable so the furniture needs to be chosen accordingly. Whether you’re o...pting for chairs, sofas, ottomans or couches, keep comfort in mind when choosing the design. The whole arrangement can be similar to the structure of a sitting area or living room.
The colors you use on the walls of a lobby can either make or break the space. Since this is the room that greets people when they first enter the space, the color palette should include welcoming tones. For a minimalist décor you can choose a combination of neutrals like white or ivory and bold touches of color. You can also add color using wall paintings or accessories such as clocks.
The lighting should be a combination of different types of fixtures. You can include floor and table lamps remember to illuminate all the different zones that make up the lobby.
Pay attention to the architecture of the space. For example, a lobby with high ceilings can feature a sculptural design that draws attention to the area above while a space with low ceilings can impress in other ways, like with an interesting design that wraps around the room.
