What is the best colour for a nightstand?

Furniture Ferret: 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 be coordinated, so that it looks like a unit, and not just a random collection of elements. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other, or quite far. Other colour combinations are likely be somewhat jarring just based on how our eyes and brains process colour. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important. It is quite probable that these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different in different cultures or just for different people. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is said to evoke safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow instead). White can be associated with peacefulness, cleanliness, innocence and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is considered to be 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 means danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm colour to allow the brain to rest. These emotions are so different that these guides all seem to boil down to just this: pause and see what the colour means for you.

Is it possible to find nightstands using their width, height and length?

Furniture Ferret: Finding nightstands in search engines on the Internet by measurements is not straightforward as search engines are best at finding words only. Also, when searching for nightstands to fit a given space, a bit smaller pieces are also suitable. Even if some shops allow searching for nightstands by size, searching many outlets at the same time is time-consuming.

From the history of furniture: Old-fashioned bedsteads Part 5

The furniture in the room is all of appropriate age, and it is interesting to note the tiny size of basin and pitcher. This handsome old house was built probably between 1640 and 1645, and the original oak beams and floor joists show in every room. It is supposed these beams were sawed by hand in a pit, as they bear no signs of axe or adze, and there was no water saw-mill in Ipswich till 1649.

The low four-post bed seen in the next Figure (214) is restored. It has had a stormy career, but has once more renewed its youth. Hundreds of these beds were made and carved in this country, of choice ma hogany as well as of other woods. It is not generally known that mahogany was used here as early as 1700, and was quite freely on sale a few years later.

These posts are richly carved with the acanthus leaf, which, after all, is much like our familiar dandelion, — a plant that lends itself readily to decoration, leaf, flower, and bud all being beautiful. Each post is fin ished with a pineapple. These low four-posters date from about 1800 to 1835 or 1840. They may or may not have foot-boards, but always have head-boards.

This particular bed was found in Central New York State, in a barn, where for many years it had furnished a more than usually handsome roost for chickens. I say the bed was found, but, to be quite correct, there were but the four posts, — the sides and head- and foot boards had long since passed out of sight, perhaps through the kitchen stove! The posts in their dilapidated condition, though fortunately there was not even a nick in the carving, were bought for three dollars. The man who got them for that price turned quite a neat penny, for after holding them for a week he sold them for fifteen dollars.

Our philosophy

We want to allow everyone to live comfortably even if they only have a small area they call home. We scan dozens of online shops for thousands of tables, cabinets, bookcases, shoe cabinets, beds, sofabeds and so on by size and colour, to find just the right one for you to go next to the window and turn the room into a practical office, or to find that extra long sofa that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the door. From the kitchen to the bathroom, don't live around furniture - have furniture that lives with you.

We also operate in many other countries. You can look for narrow 22 inch wide nightstands in the US or narrow 55cm wide bedside tables in Australia.
