A reception area is often the heart of any renovated space - whether it’s a company office, a hotel or even a private clinic. It’s the first point of contact with the space for its visitors, and first impressions here can help set the stage for everything that comes afterward. Fresh flowers enliven this transitional space with warmth, class and a welcoming spirit that renovations alone can’t accomplish.
Imagine walking into a newly refurbished reception with sleek furniture and polished flooring and modern lighting. It might look good but the problem is that it can seem cold or too formal. Now add a carefully arranged bouquet of orchids on the counter or a tall vase of gladiolus near the seating area – suddenly the atmosphere changes. Flowers soften edges, add vibrancy and send the message that this space is cared for and designed with people in mind.
To businesses, flowers in reception areas send an unspoken message of attentiveness and respect for their clients, or guests. For homes with reception style foyer, florals make the visitors feel welcome from the first moment. Beyond the aesthetic, the natural aroma of flowers plays a role in a calming effect, reducing anxiety in areas such as hospitals, law firms or government offices.
Conclusion / Area of Thought: Renovations can take a reception area to a new level structurally, but flowers take it to a new level emotionally. They make a transitional zone a place of hospitality and connexion. As you refurbish your reception consider this: What mood do you want people to experience as they enter? And the answer might be found in the petals of the right bloom.
