What is the best colour for an office desk?

The two things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in one's home should be coordinated, so that the room looks like a unit instead of a random collection of elements. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and choosing colours that are either quite close to each other, or quite far or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important to keep in mind, and there is no shortage of guides for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. It is quite probable that these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different for different individuals. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is said to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow instead). Pink is considered to bring kindness, nurturing, romance and calmness, but it was the choice for boys' and men's clothes over many decades. Red is regarded as the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and revenge, which is a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it signals danger or importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm colour to allow the brain to rest. These associations point in so many different directions that these guides all seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and see what the colour means for you.

Questions and answers

What is the best way to measure the space to fit an office desk in?

Measure both the width and the depth of the floor space where you'd like to put an office desk. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask someone else to help, or split the distance into multiple parts. You can do this by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on your floor, you can position a pointy object like a pair of scissors there instead. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like decorative strips. Also it may be necessary to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is uneven.

From the history of furniture: Desks and secretaries Part 3

Sheraton used more veneer than Chippendale, since he used inlay while Chippendale used carving, and his instructions regarding the use of it are very definite. He says, " If the veneer be very cross and unpliable, as many curls of mahogany are, it is vain to attempt the hammer. It should be shrunk and tempered well with thin glue, not with water, and if necessary the caul, used." which is the surest and best method, should be 11

By 178 there were cabinet-makers all about the Front country, turning out numbers of not only useful but ornamental articles. In 1774 the following advertisement appeared in the New York Gazette and Weekly Mercury ": Mahogany Furniture.

3 elegant desks and bookcases. 1 chest upon chest of drawers. 1 lady's dressing-chest and bookcase. 3 desks and 1 pr. card tables. 2 setts chairs. 3 Dining-tables and 5 breakfast tables. 1 clock case furnished with a good plain 8-day clock. Sundry stands, etc. The above articles are well made, and most of them are of wood of the first quality, and will be sold as low as any furniture of equal value in the city, by WlLLET AND BERASEY, Cabinet and chair makers, at the sign of the clothes press, nearly opposite the Oswego Market, at the end of Maiden Lane. There were made at this time, also, desks and bureaus with what were called block and serpentine fronts. Fig ure 271 B shows a fine example of a slant-top desk with a serpentine front. The block-front furniture was finished off square on the swelling part instead of rounded, but both block and serpentine drawers were cut from the solid block of wood. This fine piece of mahogany has the original brasses, only one handle being gone. It has the moulding in its simplest form about the drawers, and handsomely carved feet of the ball-and- claw pattern. It has a more quaint aspect in reality than is given by the photograph. This style of desk seems to have been quite popular in New England, and in the Antiquarian Rooms, at Concord, Massachusetts, is a similar desk, made by Joseph Hosmer about 1765. It is of cherry and is in an excellent state of preserva tion, but is less handsome in colour than the one show, which is in the Whipple House, at Ipswich.
