Questions and answers

How can I coordinate colours?

The two main things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your space should ideally be coordinated in some way, so that the space 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, like on opposite sides of the wheel (giving you complementary colours like red and green) or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). Associations with and emotions connected to colours are equally important to keep in mind. It is quite probable that these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different in different cultures or for different people. Blue is often associated with 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). Pink is said to bring kindness, romance, nurturing and calmness, while it was the masculine colour of choice for clothing over many decades. Red is thought of as the colour of friendship, willpower, leadership, desire and anger - a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it means danger or importance, so it should be put next to a calm colour to allow the eye to rest. These associations are so varied that these guides seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and consider what the colour means for you.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 5

"A pale, brittle wax of a curious green color, which by refining becomes almost transparent. Of this they make candles which are never greasy to the touch, never melt with lying in the hottest weather; neither does the snuff of them ever offend the smell like a tallow candle, but instead of being disagreeable if an accident puts a candle out it yields a pleasant fragrancy to all that are in the room, insomuch that nice people often put them out on purpose to have the incense of the expiring snuff."

In Figure 191 a tow of stout candlesticks of good Colonial types is shown. A " sliding pattern much used among the thrifty, is given in Figure 192. As the candle burned away it could be moved up, so that there was no waste. There is also another early pattern of a stick with a grease tray, which caught the drippings as they fell from the burning candle. This was very necessary in the case of tallow dips, or any candles not made of wax. The big candlestick in the centre is a Russian church stick. Other candlesticks of Russian and often Jewish origin are shown in Figure 193, and all were used for religious purposes. The Jews were noted long ago for their proficiency in metal work. In Bible days at Tyre and Sidon they traded" in vessels of brass in thy [...]

The Chinese also worked in brass and other metals centuries ago, and embodied many of their strange artistic ideas in domestic articles. One of their temple sticks is also shown; it is the one with the two birds on it.

Our philosophy

We want everyone to live comfortably even if they only have a small space they call home. We scour the Internet for thousands of desks, cabinets, bookshelves, storage units, beds, sofabeds and more by size, to find just the right one to go next to the bed and turn the room into a dressing corner, or to find that extra long sofa that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the door. From the kitchen to the bedroom, don't just live around furniture - buy furniture that lives with you.
