Best places to find 65cm deep shelves » Search by size

How much room is needed in front of shelves?

Furniture Ferret: In order for shelves to be usable, it needs more space on the floorplan than just its size. One needs to be able to access it and stand in front of it to get to the documents and other items stored on shelves, and if shelves has doors, it should be possible to open them. In general, you should leave at least 40-60 cm in front of shelves for access. This means, for example, shelves that is 65 cm deep needs at least 105 cm space. The good news is that this extra space does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap as long as this does not disrupt the flow and lead to people bumping into each other in, for example, an office.

Questions and answers

How can one search for shelves by size?

Finding shelves in search engines on the Internet by measurements is not easy as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for shelves to fit a given space, a bit narrower items would also suit. Even if some webshops allow searching for shelves by size, searching many outlets at the same time is time-consuming. Our systems scan many webshops on the Internet and list thousands of items to let you buy the one that fits perfectly.

How to use colour psychology when choosing shelves?

The two main things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours in one's space should ideally be coordinated, so that the space looks like a unit instead of a random collection of elements. Usual techniques to achieve this are considering a colour wheel, and going for colours that are either quite close to each other (as colours that are only different in intensity of lightness always go together, but small variations in tone or hue can also work), or quite far, like on opposite sides of the wheel (complementary colours like red and green). 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, and there is no shortage of lists for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. In all likelihood these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different in different cultures or for different people. Blue is often connected to productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is undoubtedly the colour of nature, and is considered to evoke safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow instead). Yellow is always a shouty colour and can evoke brightness, warmth, attention and energy (likely evoking the sun), except when it is dark and becomes brown, when it is thought to be a sign of comfort and relaxation. Red is thought of as the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and anger, which is 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 neutral colour to allow the brain to rest. These emotions are so different that these guides seem to boil down to just this: pause and see what the colour means for you.

From the history of furniture: Antique glassware Part 3

They are called "drawn glasses" because they seem to have been drawn from a single piece of glass, both bowl and stem having been formed by drawing out with a single spiral movement. They come in many sizes, and on tall or short stems, and are nearly as early as the " waisted " ones, some fine examples of which are shown in the next Figure (119).

The drawn-bowl glasses never are knopped in the centre, like the first and third glasses in Figure 119, but they are frequently decorated with a twisted ribbon of white glass, or a twisted tear of air, while those for tavern use frequently had a bead of air introduced at the top of the stem. These choice varieties of glass were made for wealthy patrons, aa'Iio used them to drink wine from. Even in America many were in use, and in the Figure 120 can be noted many examples which did duty at Mount Vernon, when President and Madam Washington had guests to dinner. In fact all the elegant articles shown in this picture belonged to them, and it is well to note the fine glass candelabra on the top shelf, which must have been very orna mental when lighted up with candles.

The very choicest of all the glasses were engraved, most often with floral forms, sometimes with weaths of grapes and leaves. A point to be noted in the toav of glasses in Figure 118 is the extreme solidity of the stems and bases, which are very different from the slender stems of the modern wine-glasses. These old glasses were made so that they could not upset easily, ¦— avery necessary qualification in days when tem perance was far less considered than it is at the present time, and when squire, and parson too, were frequently taken from under the table, so potent had been the contents of these seemly glasses. I should call all these glasses spirit glasses, since the beer and wine-glasses all held more copious draughts. Some of the liquors and cordials which were drunk from these small glasses were imported. Among such were Clove or Caraway Waters, Oil of Venus, Oil of Hazelnuts, Parfait Amour, Essence of Tea or Coffee, Free Masons' Cordial, and many others.
