Buying Hospital Lobby Furniture? - What To Look For

Buying Hospital Lobby Furniture? - What To Look For: As you get ready to replace your hospital’s old lobby furniture, look closely at each chair, table and couch. They probably look like they have been well-used. Can visitors connect to the internet and a source of power from your current furniture? Everyone who sets foot in your hospital gets their first impression from the visitor and lobby area, so as you think about what you want, keep comfort, versatility, attractiveness and even your hospital’s brand in mind.

Know Your Hospital’s Brand

In referring to your hospital brand, you should think, not only of your logo and mission statement, but how you can incorporate their color schemes. Think of the colors used in all branding and publicity materials, because you’ll want to carry those colors forward into your new lobby furniture – or at least find new furniture that complements your brand and logo.

As visitors wait for their relatives to come out from having procedures, you want them to feel welcome and relax as they wait. Depending on why they are there (waiting for a relative or friend, accompanying someone who had a medical appointment or waiting downstairs in between visiting hours, you know they will be there for some time.) So make them feel like they can stretch out a little.
