Buy a 75cm wide nightstand » Search by size and price

How do I spot a bargain when buying a nightstand?

Furniture Ferret: The average price of nightstands that match your search is 567.69 British pounds. A good way to see whether an item costs more or less than expected is to compare it to the median price. For the nightstands here the median is £420, that is, 50% of them is priced above this, and 50% below. Most of the nightstands in this category cost from 52.99 British pounds to £1,342. Only 10% of products cost more or less than these two values.

How much space is needed in front of a nightstand?

Furniture Ferret: So that a nightstand would be usable, it needs more space than just its proper size. You have to be able to access it and be in front of it to get to the boxes and other items stored on a nightstand, and if a nightstand has doors, it should be possible to open them. In general, you should leave 40-60 cm in front of a nightstand for access. This means, for example, that a nightstand that is 40 cm deep needs at least 80 cm space. Fortunately, this extra room does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap.

Questions and answers

How to use colour theory when choosing a nightstand?

The colour scheme in your space can be a result of necessity, but it has considerable effect on the feelings you get from your room. The two main things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours should ideally be coordinated, so that it looks like a unit. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other, or relatively far, for example on opposite sides of the wheel (complementary colours like blue and yellow) or on different thirds (for example, cyan-orange-purple). 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 equally important to keep in mind. It is quite probable that these emotions are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different for different individuals. The associations are even often contradictory, which makes it even more difficult to use them as a guide. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is said to evoke safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow instead). White can be associated with peacefulness, innocence, cleanliness and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is thought of as the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and anger - a very wide range of feelings. But it is clear that in nature, it signals danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a calm colour to allow the brain to rest. These associations point in so many directions that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and consider what the colour means for you.

Is it possible to find nightstands using their size?

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

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

The bed shown in Figure 213 is of mahogany, with ornaments at the top of the gracefully turned posts. The ornamental brasses that covered the holes through which the screws were put to hold the bed together are all in place, two on each foot-post, one on each head-post. They are in most cases of pressed brass, in a rosette pattern, and should be found on high and low four-post beds, and on field beds. In many cases, un fortunately, they are missing. This bed has a plain Sweep, and is covered with the netting work, which was so much prettier than cloth drapery.

The coverlet is of the blue-and-white hand-woven material, which was a favourite with housekeepers on account of its durable character and neat appearance.

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.

Our philosophy

We want everyone to live comfortably even if they only have a small space they call home. We scour the Internet for thousands of desks, cabinets, shelves, storage units, beds, sofabeds and so on by size, to find just the right piece to go under the stairs to finally get a dressing corner, or to find that extra long bed that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the bedroom door. From the kitchen to the living room, don't live next to furniture - have furniture that lives with you.

We are also present in other countries. You can visit 30 inch wide nightstands in the US.
