Video conferencing is vital to the daily functioning of many businesses and companies. It has changed the way businesses interact with each other. It has made it possible to expand the reach of a company with minimal investment and negligent travel and accommodation costs.

However the ubiquitousness of video conferencing at the work place also necessitates a few changes in the décor of your office space. After all now with every conversation your prospective clients or partners get a glimpse of your workspace and it speaks volumes of your company's ethos.

This is why it is vital to ensure that the conference rooms as well as any other rooms with a video conferencing set up are decorated with great care and attention. Here are some tips to keep in mind when you pick out furniture for your conference room that will help enhance the quality of visuals on your next video conference.

  • Lighting

The goal with lighting is to create an evenly lit conference room with minimal shadows. Direct lighting can cause over/under exposure and shadows and hence must be avoided. Aim for vertical illumination instead as this reduces facial shadows that commonly result from over head lighting. Diffused fluorescent lights are great, as well as indirect incandescent lights, which can be dimmed to suit your requirements. Back-lights are also something to consider when shopping for executive office furniture and décor as it helps create depth on video.

  • Audio Equipment

Microphones for video and audio conferencing are designed to be sensitive and most pick up sound within eight feet. Echo and reverberation can cause distorted audio signals. To get the best audio quality invest in sound absorbing materials such as carpets, fabrics on the wall, drapes, heavy blinds and ceilings with sound-proofing tiles. Also consider acoustics with looking at executive office furniture suites and look for furniture that is made of sound absorbing material.

  • Visual Displays

Two common methods of displaying information in a conference room are using a flat screen or a projector. Both work well in varied lighting conditions and provide clarity. So consider it when looking at office furniture suites as you will need to buy furniture based on your choice.

  • Furnishing

Décor and extra furniture inside the conference room should be kept to a minimum. Avoid wall hangings that have reflective finishes or surfaces. When selecting furniture for your conference room, consider multi-function pieces such as a credenza for storage, counter space, and a small refrigerator.
