The question is a bit vague - however, perhaps you intended it to be 'wide-open' in order to elicit unbiased answers. I do not know if your waiting room is for a physician, massage therapist, pycho-therapist, etc. Having said that..... I always enjoy a crystal clear, exotic fish aquarium (one you can see through) as a central focal point for the room, also a section of reading material relavent to my need to see the practitioner - healthy living, diet, exercise, light reading etc. Depending on the expense account - an area to obtain a 'healthy' beverages-- ie: herbal teas, decaffenated coffee, perhaps juice. Tranquil landscape art/paintings on the walls. If children are involved - an area (possibly enclosed) of educational/motor skill/cognitive developmental 'toys' would be nice (with sound/noise reduction-design). I enjoy soft relaxing, popular, easy-listening music - (type with a target era - what age population will most likely be clients) for me it would be the 50's/60's. The soft, over-stuffed chairs would be arranged around small tables in groupings of two - possibly three - for cozy conversations - or just solitary reflection. In my perfect, money-is-no-object waiting room; there would be a most wonderful, peaceful, graceful waterfall (could be the type mounted on the wall) - eliciting a gentle sound of falling sheets of perpetual 'rain':) - - for me, 'wellness' is a continuum that starts and ends with psycho/emotional/mental/sensual well-being - - - therefore, since the 'waiting room experience' begins and ends (exchanging paperwork/ scheduling/payment) the professional encounter - should it not elicit the right "mood" for the visit? If my answer was not at all related to what you were really asking - - my apologies.
