Reception & lobby decoration

Preparation and specification

Reception desks, lifts and doorways can leave little space for working. A measured scope helps establish which sections can be isolated and when each can return to use.

What to include in the brief

• Visitor routes and access
• Fixed furniture and fittings
• Finish and colour samples
• Phasing and daily clearing

Planning the work

Look at samples in the lobby’s actual light. Consider how the wall finish meets lift surrounds, signs and existing joinery.

Before you enquire

Share the address, photographs of the surfaces and any access restrictions. Include your preferred timing and whether the building will remain occupied. Preparation, materials and any repairs can then be discussed as a defined scope.
