How to measure the space to fit a bedside table in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to place a bedside table. 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 a friend to help, or divide what you need to measure up into multiple parts. You can do this 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 want to avoid drawing on your floor, you can position a pointy object like a pencil there. Don't forget to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like decorative strips. Also don't forget to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is low like in loft rooms.

Questions and answers

Is it possible to search for bedside tables by size?

Finding bedside tables in search engines on the Internet by measurements is not straightforward as search engines are best at finding words only. Also, when searching for bedside tables to fit a given space, slightly smaller items would also suit. Even if some outlets allow searching for bedside tables by size, searching many outlets at the same time is time-consuming. Our systems scan many webshops on the Internet and list tens of thousands of products so you can buy the one that fits perfectly.

How can I choose the best colour for a bedside table?

The colour scheme in your space can be a bit accidental, but it has considerable effect on the feelings you get from your home. The two things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your room should ideally be coordinated, so that the space looks like a unit. Usual techniques to achieve this are considering a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other, or relatively far, like on opposite sides of the wheel (giving you complementary colours like blue and yellow) or on different thirds (for example, red-green-blue). Other colour combinations are likely be somewhat jarring just based on how our eyes and brains understand colour. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are equally important, and there is no shortage of lists for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. It is quite probable that these emotions are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be quite different in different cultures or for different people. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is considered to be connected to safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow). Pink is said to evoke kindness, romance, nurturing and calmness, but it was the choice for masculine clothing over many decades. Red is considered to be the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and revenge - a very wide range of feelings. But it is clear that in nature, it means danger and importance, so you probably need to put it next to a neutral colour to allow the brain to rest. These emotions are so different 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: Old-fashioned bedsteads Part 5

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.

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.
