Questions and answers

How can one coordinate colours?

If you have the option to choose from different colours for an under-sink cabinet that fits your space and budget, it is helpful to know how different colours work together. The two main things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours in your home should ideally be coordinated, so that it looks like a unit, and not just 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 (as colours that are only different in intensity of lightness always go together, but slight differences in tone can also be fine), or relatively far. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are equally 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. The associations can even be contradictory, which makes it even more difficult to use them as a guide. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is considered to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow). Pink is thought to evoke kindness, romance, nurturing and calmness, while it was the masculine colour of choice for clothing over many decades. Red is considered to be the colour of friendship, willpower, leadership, desire and anger - a very wide range of feelings. 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 eye to rest. These associations point in so many directions that these guides all seem to boil down to just this: pause and think what the colour means for you.

How to measure the space to fit an under-sink cabinet in?

Measure the width and the depth of the area where you'd like to put an under-sink cabinet. 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. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask someone else to assist, or split the distance into multiple parts. You can do this by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on your floor, you can position a pointy object like a pencil there instead. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like pipes. Also don't forget to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is uneven like in loft rooms.

Our philosophy

We strive to allow everyone 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, sofabeds and more by size and colour, 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 hall to the bathroom, don't live around furniture - choose furniture that lives with you.
