What is the best colour for a table?

If you have the option to choose between different colours for a table that fits your space and budget, it is helpful to know how different colours work together. The two main things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours should ideally be coordinated, so that the room looks like a unit instead of a random collection of elements. Usual techniques to achieve this are considering a colour wheel, and choosing colours that are either quite close to each other, or quite far. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important. In all likelihood these emotions are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be quite different in different cultures or just for different individuals. The associations can even be contradictory, making it even more difficult to use them as a guide. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is said to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow instead). White can be associated with peacefulness, cleanliness, innocence and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is thought of as the colour of friendship, willpower, leadership, desire and anger, which is a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it means danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a neutral colour to allow the eye to rest. These associations are so varied that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just this: pause and see what the colour means for you.

Questions and answers

How do I measure the space to fit a table in?

Measure both the width and the depth of the area where you'd like to put a table. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning of the tape 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 assist, or split what you need to measure into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on the floor, you can position a pointy object like a screwdriver there. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like electric sockets. Also don't forget to measure how high the space is wherever the ceiling is uneven.

From the history of furniture: Tables And Sideboards Part 3

An example of a wine-cooler and also a pair of knife-boxes is given in Figure 12. Indeed, in convivial days, these wine-coolers were very important parts of dining- room furniture, and were arranged to hold six, eight, or twelve bottles; and one holding eighteen bottles belonged to General George Washington himself, and is now in the possession of some of his descendants, with a large number of the bottles which stood in little compartments, intact, and each capable of holding a gallon.

Major Church, of Rochester, New York, has an autograph letter from General Washington, addressed to Colonel Hamilton, in which he says that he is sending him a wine-cooler capable of holding six bottles, one of four which I imported during my term of gov ernmental administration." There were elegancies of many kinds at Mount Vernon, and the General himself looked after the furnishings of the house, as well as after the purchasing of his own, Madam Washington's, and Miss Custis' clothes. These were imported from England, and were bought by his factors in London in pursuance of minute directions given in the voluminous letters which the General wrote with his Own hand and despatched by every ship. The very " minikin " pins with which the clothes of Nelly Custis were to be fastened were not too small items for his attention, and he gave special orders for her doll to be dressed in the "newest fashion."
