Designing a presentation space often starts with a simple question: how do you actually use that space on a daily basis? In practice, you see that many offices were originally designed for a single scenario. That works fine—until teams grow or projects change. Then you quickly realize that the space no longer fits your needs. It feels too cramped or, conversely, awkwardly large. With modular units, you can avoid those kinds of frustrations. You maintain control over your layout and can continue to adapt it whenever necessary.
Why flexibility is key in a presentation room
A good presentation space does more than just bring people together. It helps you communicate more clearly and collaborate more effectively. People stay focused longer, and presentations are more effective. You don’t want a space that’s set in stone. You want something that evolves with your organization. That’s why more and more companies are opting for a modular approach.
You can adapt the space to your needs at any given moment. If you’re working with a small team, keep it compact. If the group grows, you can easily expand by reconfiguring the space.
How to Smartly Lay Out a Modular Presentation Space
Good layout planning starts with thinking about how the space will be used. How many people are usually in the room? And how often does that change? Once you have a clear picture of that, you can make more informed decisions. With modular units, you can configure the space exactly as you need it.
The dimensions give you plenty of flexibility. The depth is adjustable between 128 and 488 centimeters, and the width can be extended indefinitely, with a minimum width of 128 centimeters. This allows you to tailor the space exactly to your office. You avoid creating wasted space or making the area feel awkward. Everything just fits better.
Creating a calm and focused environment with good acoustics
Acoustics are often underestimated, but they really make a difference. When sound echoes, a presentation can quickly become tiring. People lose interest before you even realize it. Keep this in mind from the very beginning.
Materials such as PET felt panels help to dampen sound. You’ll notice the difference right away. Conversations sound calmer and clearer. The space feels less crowded, allowing people to concentrate better.
Choosing the right table size and layout
The table is often the focal point of the room. Yet people don’t always give this much thought. A simple guideline can go a long way. Allow about 70 centimeters per person. That way, everyone will be comfortable. Also, make sure there’s enough room to walk around it—about 90 centimeters on all sides.
The layout determines how people experience the space. A long table works well when everyone is facing a screen. For interactive sessions, a U-shape is often more comfortable.
Use of color and ambiance in the presentation room
Color has more of an impact than you might think. A room with the right colors feels calmer and more pleasant. Light shades create an open feeling. Dark colors, on the other hand, make it feel more intimate. It’s all about finding the right balance.
At BOW, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to color choices. You can choose from more than 200 RAL colors for the unit and PET-felt panels. This ensures that the space always complements your office. You can keep it simple or, on the other hand, add some accents.
Accessories to support presentations
A space shouldn't just be beautiful; above all, it should be practical. Accessories play a big role in that. These are the things you use every day.
Popular accessories include:
- TV brackets for clear presentations
- whiteboards for brainstorming sessions
Because everything is built-in, the space stays tidy. You don’t have to move or set anything up. Everything is ready when you need it.
Lighting and electricity
Lighting can make or break a presentation. Light that’s too bright is distracting. Not enough light makes it hard to follow. That’s why you want to be in control of it.
At BOW, everything is already set up inside the unit. You have lighting, power, and ventilation right at your fingertips. You can plug the unit in with a single cord and get started right away. That saves time and avoids hassle.
The following amenities are included as standard in every unit:
- LED lighting at 2700K for a warm glow
- four brightness settings: 25%, 50%, 100%, and off
- a control panel for lighting and ventilation
- a power strip with 230V outlets
- USB C ports for modern devices
- Ventilation with three adjustable settings
- connection via a single plug
Everything is already taken care of. You don't have to make any arrangements afterward.
Common mistakes when designing a presentation room
Many mistakes arise because choices seem logical, but in reality turn out differently. A space ends up being overcrowded or poorly suited to its intended use. You don’t realize this until you actually start using it.
The most common mistakes are:
- cluttering up the space, making it difficult to move around
- do not take walking routes into account
- choosing a configuration that isn't suitable for the intended use
- acoustics forgotten
- using the wrong lighting
- leaving loose cables and equipment lying around
- not enough power outlets provided
- use of color should not be included in the design
If you avoid these pitfalls, you’ll notice a difference right away. The space will feel more serene and more logical.
Case study of a flexible presentation space
A marketing team started out with a small meeting room that could accommodate six people. Everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. After a while, the team grew and clients began visiting more often. The space quickly became too cramped.
Extra chairs were brought in, and there were cables everywhere. The presentations didn’t go as smoothly, and the whole thing felt disorganized. You see that happen quite often in practice.
The space was redesigned using a modular unit from BOW. This created more space, better connections, and a clearer layout. The acoustics were also improved. The difference was immediately noticeable. The space was once again functioning as intended and evolved alongside the team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Setting Up a Presentation Room
How do you ensure adequate ventilation in a presentation room?
You really only notice ventilation when it isn’t properly controlled. The room quickly becomes stuffy, and people lose their focus. Fresh air helps keep everyone alert. With modular units from BOW, you can easily control this through the system itself.
Is a modular presentation space suitable for existing offices?
Yes, that’s exactly what it’s designed for. You don’t have to tear down walls or make major changes. The unit is installed within the existing space. Your office remains intact.
How quickly can a modular presentation room be set up?
That often happens faster than you think. The units are manufactured in advance and then assembled on site. While our technicians are installing them, your employees can continue with their daily work as usual. Since everything runs on a single power source, you don’t have to worry about complicated wiring.
What role does natural light play in a presentation room?
Natural light instantly makes a space more pleasant. It feels more open, and people stay more focused. Glass walls let light in without making the space completely open.
Can you reconfigure a modular presentation space later on?
Yes, that’s actually one of the biggest advantages. You’re not tied to anything. If your office changes or you want to use the space differently, you can simply adjust it. You can order additional components to expand the space or reconfigure it.
How do you maintain a modular presentation space?
Maintenance is fairly simple. It requires a single service visit, which includes cleaning the ventilation system. The materials were chosen for their durability and ease of cleaning. Because everything is neatly integrated, there are few loose parts. This saves time and makes it easy to use.
