Like any entrance, your lobby is for welcoming. But unlike the entrance to, let\u2019s say, your home, it\u2019s got more work to do than just that. It\u2019s the frontline of your sales team \u2014 whether you have an actual sales team or not. It\u2019s tasked with addressing a wide spectrum of needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For potential customers or clients,<\/strong> it needs to evoke something and speak immediately to who you are in the context of what they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your existing clients or customers,<\/strong> it needs to say, \u201cWelcome back! We\u2019re so glad you’re here and we’re psyched and privileged to be serving you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to your employees,<\/strong> it needs to say, \u201cWelcome home. When you’re here, you’re family. We care about you and we\u2019ve got you covered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, that’s a lot to ask of your company and<\/em> your space. But it’s totally doable. And you\u2019re the world\u2019s leading expert on how to do it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\u2019s about knowing who you are and who you serve. Think about it like this, have you ever walked into a truly amazing<\/a> hotel or resort? They know exactly who they are and \u2014 critically \u2014 who their guests are and what they\u2019re yearning for. They make sure the moment of arrival itself is transportive. You\u2019re really just two steps away from knowing how to elevate your design style to those heights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #1 – Focus On Feeling<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll talk through fabric textures, colors, and styles in the next section. But first, let yourself feel into the space. What do you want it to feel<\/em> like when your customers or employees walk in? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
