Keep it from Feeling Cramped: Your conference room needs to use its space wisely. Too much furniture, or furniture that’s too large, can quickly make the whole room feel claustrophobic, which makes it difficult for anyone present to lend their attention to the meeting at hand. This means people should easily be able to sit down and get up from the table without having to carefully maneuver around other meeting participants or furniture. To do that, you need to make sure you have the right furniture in place. The table you choose should be large enough for your standard meeting size, yet not so bulky that it pushes the people sitting at it into the walls. The same goes for your choice of chairs: You’ll want chairs that people can still move past while people are sitting in them, and they should easily fit under the table when not in use.
