How do I make sure my reception desk matches the rest of my office furniture?

The easiest way to ensure a cohesive look is to buy from the same manufacturer's product line for all your office furniture — desks, conference tables, and reception pieces. If mixing brands, get physical finish samples from each supplier and compare them under your office's lighting conditions. Coordinate the metal hardware finish (chrome, silver, or oil-rubbed bronze) consistently across all pieces. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries coordinating furniture systems — call 888-719-4960 for help matching pieces.
