If you are in the process of decorating your office, maybe you are at a point where you are selecting the seating. Maybe you are looking for ideas on the kind of chairs you will purchase. If that's true, you've come to the right place for suggestions.

First, think of the mood you want to establish as you decorate. Doing that will help you in the selection of your office seating furniture.

The Chairs In Your Waiting Area

As clients and other individuals come to your office, the first thing they will see is your waiting room. With that in mind, you'll want it to be an attractive and comfortable setting. 

For a bit of office elegance, purchase chairs that could go in a living room. For instance, beautifully upholstered chairs would set a formal look. If you do go with upholstered chairs, select formal occasional tables that will be placed strategically with the chairs.

Maybe you would rather have a contemporary look in your waiting room. If so, one idea is to go with black leather chairs that are designed with straight, simple lines. Cube-style tables painted in a contrasting color would complement the black leather chairs. For instance, yellow, red, or turquoise would be good complementary colors.

Seating For Your Personal Office

Consider how your office will be used. For example, if you have a large space and you often have group meetings, you'll want to have enough seating for those who will attend your meetings. If you don't anticipate large groups meetings in your office, you'll probably need only two to four seats. 

If you went with a formal look in the waiting area, establish a similar look in your own office. For instance, if you will be meeting around a large table, high-back upholstered chairs would be a perfect choice. Choose a fabric that will complement the upholstery in your waiting room.

If you are selecting only a few chairs for your own office and you want a formal look, think of buying comfortable wingback chairs.

Metal chairs would be a good choice if you want a contemporary look in your own office. Buy seat cushions with a geometric pattern for added comfort. Choose glass topped metal tables to go with the metal chairs. 

Maybe you and others will be working at high tables. If that's true, you will more than likely want swivel-style office stools.
