How to measure the space to fit bookshelves in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure the width and the depth of the floor area where you'd like to place bookshelves. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start of the tape down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask a friend to help, or split the distance up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you would not like to make a mark on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pencil there. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like decorative strips. Also don't forget to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is uneven.

Questions and answers

How much clearance should I leave in front of bookshelves?

In order for bookshelves to be usable, it requires more space than its size alone. You need to be able to access it and stand in front of it to get to the boxes and other items kept on bookshelves, and if it has doors, they need to be able to be opened. Double doors will generally require an additional depth of half of the width of the item, while in general, you should leave 40-60 cm in front of bookshelves for access. This means, for example, bookshelves that is 50 cm deep needs at least 90 cm space. Fortunately, this extra room does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap as long as this does not disrupt the flow and lead to people bumping into each other in, for example, an office setting.

What is the best colour for bookshelves?

If you have the option to choose between different colours for bookshelves that fits your space and budget, it is helpful to know what the effects of the different colours are. The two things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your room should be coordinated, so that the space looks like a unit, and not just 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 (colours that are only different in lightness or intensity always go together, but small differences in tone can also work), or relatively far. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important, and there are many 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 quite different for different individuals. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is said to be connected to safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow). Pink is thought to evoke kindness, nurturing, romance and calmness, while it was the choice for masculine clothing over many decades. Red is thought of as the colour of friendship, willpower, leadership, desire and revenge, which is a very wide range of feelings. But it is clear that in nature, it means danger and importance, so it should be put next to a calm colour to allow the brain 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: Cottage ornaments Part 2

A double figure group is shown in Figure 326, charm ing in colour, and it is too bad that his hat is chipped off, for otherwise the figures are perfect. In Figure 325 may be seen two figures with tree-like backgrounds. This class of specimen is called " boskies," from the French term bocage. Such backgrounds are more com mon among the porcelain and china figures from the high class potteries than among the Staffordshire ones. Few figures with them can now be found in a perfect condition, for these twigs and sprays are so fragile that thej' were easily broken, as were the swords and spears with which so many of the figures were armed. Both of the Falstaff s had Swords originally in the right hand.

In the next Figure (327) is sbxm-n a miscellaneous group of figures, the soldier in the centre being the oldest and best. The watch-holder to the right is now mine, and is marked on the base " Milton." Imagine that poet in a sprigged matinee dictating Paradise"Lost " to his weary daughters! The next best piece in this group is the rooster. He is old and good, and this bird has al- ways been a favourite with the potters. Next in order of value and interest are the dogs, and the collecting of these animals alone occupies the attention of many dis tinguished collectors, some of them choosing only what is known as the " spotted dog." One collection already numbers two hundred and fifty pieces, each one differ ent. The dogs shown in Figure 327 are to my taste the least interesting of all the varieties. In the next picture, Figure 328, are shown two of my Own which are spirited and fine. The spotted one is by far the elder, and is per fect with the exception of a crack near the base. He is of bone paste, light and soft, and every time I look at him, particularly if it be near the full of the moon, I expect to hear him howl. He looks all ready to bay the moon. The recumbent dog is a faAAm-coloured grey hound, a lovely creature lying on a dark-blue cushion, in which is a small opening for a pen, as he is an inkstand. There are several other patterns of greyhounds, also guardians of ink, which I hope to acquire to make my collection complete. There is also a standing one with a hare in his mouth which is very nice, and one may get at least eight different patterns of greyhounds. There are also some small Pomeranians, like those to be seen in Figure 325. Indeed, the collecting of dogs is a most im-iting field, for when you have the greyhounds all com plete, there still remain the pointers, of which there are many patterns, before you come to the spaniel, which is "dog." in reality the spotted After you have all the dogs, whole dogs, which you can get, you can then take up the faces and masks, a branch of the subject which, though difficult, is engrossing. These heads of dogs and foxes were used as whistles, or for handles to canes and hunting crops, for paper-weights, and apparently for wall ornaments as well, since some of them are to be found life size. Sir Walter Gibney has a collection of seventy-three of these, nearly all of them of Stafford shire ware, ranging from the early mottled and agate or tortoise shell wares, to those of later times, which were coloured to life. There was hardly a firm of potters, whether of porcelain or pottery, which has not turned its hand to the making of dogs. Go where you will, at Worcester, at Bow, at Battersea, where they enam elled them, at Rockingham, at Chelsea, at Burslem, they all made dogs. Go to Holland and you will find the Dutchman had his favourites too, though he will colour them blue to keep his blue cows in company; but they are attractive for all that. Even from our own potteries came dogs of many colours and sizes, but those will be mentioned later.
