Introduction
Creating the perfect meeting room requires you to carefully consider both furniture as well as the layout to ensure that the space is not only comfortable but also has a professional atmosphere. At Auraa Design, we believe that the right meeting room setup can significantly enhance your productivity when designed the right way. Here are our top tips for designing an ideal meeting space.
Furniture and Layout Tips
Choose the Right Table
It’s important to select a table that suits the room and accommodates the expected number of participants. Boardroom tables are ideal for formal meetings and for larger groups, promoting a sense of equality and open discussion. Round tables are great for smaller meetings, fostering a more intimate and inclusive atmosphere. Modular tables are perfect for flexible spaces, as they can be rearranged to fit different meeting formats and group sizes. Consider materials and finishes that match your office aesthetic. Auraa Design offers a variety of high-quality options, from wood veneer to modern glass.

Comfortable Seating
Comfortable chairs are necessary if you want to keep attendees focused and engaged during long meetings. Look for chairs with ergonomic design, adjustable height, lumbar support, and armrests for comfort and to reduce strain. Chairs with a swivel base allow for easy movement and interactions without having to stand up. Upholstery options should be durable and easy to clean, maintaining a professional appearance. Auraa Design provides a wide range of seating options that combine style and comfort, ensuring that everyone can stay comfortable and focused.

An Effective Layout
The layout of your meeting room should facilitate clear communication and easy movement. The U-shape layout is ideal for presentations and video conferencing, ensuring everyone has a clear view of the speaker and screen. If your focus is on strategic discussions or decision-making, a boardroom layout with a central table allows for direct eye contact and efficient communication. Additionally, integrating flexible seating options and modular furniture can help adapt the space to various meeting formats and sizes, ensuring versatility and functionality.

Acoustics and Lighting
Good acoustics and lighting are essential for a productive meeting environment. Use sound-absorbing materials, such as acoustic panels and carpets, to reduce noise. Ensure ample natural light if possible, and complement it with adjustable artificial lighting to avoid any glare and create a comfortable atmosphere.
