What is the best colour for a bookshelf?

Furniture Ferret: The colour scheme in one's space can be a result of necessity, but it has considerable effect on how you feel in your home. The two things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours in one's space should ideally be coordinated, so that the space looks like a unit instead of a random collection of elements. Usual techniques to achieve this are considering a colour wheel, and selecting colours that are either quite close to each other, or quite far. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are equally important to keep in mind, and there is no shortage of lists 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 people. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is said to be connected to safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow instead). White can be associated with peacefulness, innocence, cleanliness and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is regarded as the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and anger, which is a very wide range of emotions. But it is clear that in nature, it signals danger or importance, so it should be put next to a neutral colour to allow the brain to rest. These emotions are so varied that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just this: pause and think what the colour means for you.

Questions and answers

How can I find bookshelves using their width, height and length?

Finding bookshelves in search engines on the web by measurements is difficult as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for bookshelves to fit a given space, a bit smaller pieces would also be suitable. Even if some webshops allow searching for bookshelves by size, checking many webshops at the same time needs a different solution. Furniture Ferret scour many webshops on the web and index thousands of items to allow you to get the one that is just perfect.

How to measure the space to fit a bookshelf in?

Measure the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to place a bookshelf. The most accurate 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. Make sure the tape is not diagonal, or else you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask a friend for help, or divide 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 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 pencil there instead. Don't forget to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like skirting boards. Also it may be necessary to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low.

From the history of furniture: Lustre ware Part 5

Very pretty and graceful all such sets are — plain lustred decoration or with the prints. A favourite design in the printed ware is a mother reclining on a sofa and playing battledore and shuttlecock with a little girl. This picture is shown in the article on pitchers previously mentioned.

Figure 239 gives two more very handsome pitchers. The one on the left is called " Nautilus " pattern, and the design is painted on in rose lustre. The pitcher is marked " Wood," impressed. This Wood was one of the famous English potters avIio made so much of the "Old Blue," which is now eagerly sought. The name "Wood " alone was used as a mark between 18 and 1818, when the sons were admitted to partner ship and the signature was "E. Wood & Sons," or "E. W. & S."

The other pitcher has the main design about the body in colours, all the small details being rose lustre as well as the bands and vine designs about the top and base.

Eleven of the jugs shown belong to one collection, the indefatigable Owner of which spares not herself in searching both this country and Europe. The most ex pensive pitcher of the eleven was the large one showing Twymouth Haven, bought in Maine, for which $6 was paid.

The cheapest was the little one on four legs shown in the same picture. This was bought for a quarter. All the others came in between these two extremes, even the beautiful silver lustre " resist " jug, with its graceful design of tulips and leaf pattern.
