Considerations for Your Conference Room

Your conference room is an integral part of your office that can be used for a variety of important functions. Here are some of the things you should consider when deciding how you want to furnish it.

What Will Your Conference Room be Used For?

The furniture and layout that you chose for your conference room will depend on how it is used. Some of the most common uses for conference rooms include the following:

  • Team meetings
  • Interviews
  • Training sessions
  • Presentations
  • Meetings with clients
  • Conference calls

In addition, you may want to rent your conference room out to other businesses who need a place to meet with customers and clients but do not maintain a physical office.

Furniture Options

Once you determine how your conference room will be utilized, you can start to consider furniture options. For example, if you often have collaborative team meets that involve team interaction, a round or oval shaped table may be more appropriate than a traditional boardroom table with a head and seats along either side. Additionally, you should consider the general aesthetic that is most appropriate to your industry. While a law firm may want traditional office furniture that uses dark woods and upholstered chairs, a graphic design firm may choose to go with more modern, sleek conference room furniture.

Space Considerations

Regardless of the aesthetic you choose and the way you intend to use your conference room, every space has certain physical limitations. While you may absolutely love large conference tables, it is important to make sure that the table fits in your conference room and gives people ample room to move around. Similarly, you should make sure that any your chairs comfortably slide underneath the table and do not take up too much space when they are pulled out.

Budget

Of course, it is important to consider how much you want to spend. A great way to save money on conference room furniture is to buy pre-owned or refurbished furniture. In many cases, these pieces are virtually indistinguishable from new furniture and can be purchased for a fraction of the price.
