How can I choose a colour for a PC desk?

Furniture Ferret: If you can choose from different colours for a PC desk that fits your space, it is useful to know what the effects of the different colours are. The two things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your home should ideally be coordinated, so that the room looks like a unit, and not just 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 (colours that are only different in lightness or intensity do go together, but small differences in the actual tone or hue can also be fine), or quite far, for example on opposite sides of the wheel (complementary colours like red and green) or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). Other colour combinations are likely be somewhat jarring because of how our eyes and brains understand colour. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important to keep in mind. 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 undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is said to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow). Yellow is always a shouty colour and can evoke brightness, warmth, energy and attention (likely because of the sun), except when it is dark and becomes brown, when it is said to be a sign of comfort and relaxation. Red is regarded 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 you probably need to put it next to a neutral colour to allow the brain to rest. These associations are so different that these guides all seem to boil down to just this: pause and see what the colour means for you.

How do I measure the space to fit a PC desk in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the area where you'd like to place a PC desk. 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 opposite edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask a friend for help, or split what you need to measure 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 measured on the floor or wall, and reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you would not like to draw on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pair of scissors there. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like electric sockets. Also it may be necessary to measure how high the space is wherever the ceiling is uneven like spaces under the stairs.

From the history of furniture: Desks and secretaries Part 2

By the middle of the eighteenth century reading and writing became less of an accomplishment and more of a necessity, and the number of desks rapidly increased. Writing appliances were also fitted in bureaus; some times one drawer opened out into a desk, sometimes only a section of it let down, forming a small shelf with drawers behind. Many cabinet-makers indulged their oaati fancies in making desks. One of these odd shajies is shown in Figure 268, where the desk is shown closed; the whole front above the long drawer is a solid piece of wood, with the two borders at the side. When in use for writing, this top is supported by two rests which draw out for that purpose. In Figure 269 the desk is shown open; all the drawers are of curly maple, while several of them still retain the old brass knobs. The handles on the long drawer at the bottom are new and too modern in design. This drawer has a panel of the maple, and a band around it of the mahogany. The desk is at the Whipple House, at Ipswich, Massachu setts, that valuable repository of so many Colonial relics.

Very pretty little writing-tables were made for use, with tops which folded up, or opened out and were supported on rests. They had two drawers below, and looked much like the little work-tables that appeared about the same time.

In fact the branch of cabinet-making which related to ladies' desks was one of considerable interest. Shera ton made many of them, and in his books are designs for many more. A pretty and characteristic specimen of this maker is shovm in Figure 270, the woods composing it are maple and satimvood. Little drawers are concealed behind the doors, and compartments in the lower drawers are for the necessary implements.

Our philosophy

We strive to allow every one of us to live comfortably even if they only have a small area they call home. We scour the Internet for thousands of desks, cabinets, bookshelves, shoe cabinets, beds, sofas and so on by size and colour, to find just the right one to go next to the window and turn the room into some closet space, 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 live next to furniture - get furniture that lives with you.

Did you know? We also help customers in many other countries. You can look for “bureaux d'ordinateur - profondeur 70 cm” in France, 70cm deep computer desks in Australia or 28 inch deep computer and pc desks in the US.
