How to use colour psychology when choosing a buffet?

Furniture Ferret: If you can choose from different colours for a buffet that fits your space and budget, it is helpful to know what the effects of the different colours are. The two things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours should be coordinated in some way, so that the space looks like a unit instead of a random collection of elements. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and choosing 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 the actual hue can also work), or relatively far, for example on opposite sides of the wheel (giving you complementary colours like red and green). Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important, and there is no shortage of guides for these from those by 19th-century Impressionist painters to modern interior design guides. It is quite probable that these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different 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 stability, calmness and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is said 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, but it was the choice for boys' and men's clothes over many decades. Red is regarded 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 or importance, so you probably need to put it next to a neutral colour to allow the brain to rest. These associations point in so many different directions that these guides seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and think what the colour means for you.

How much room does one need to leave in front of a buffet?

Furniture Ferret: So that a buffet would be usable, it requires more space than its size alone. You have to be able to access it and stand in front of it to access documents and other items kept on a buffet, and if it has doors, it should be possible to open them fully. In general, you will need 40-60 cm in front of a buffet for access. This means, for example, a buffet that is 40 cm deep needs at least 80 cm space. The good news is that this extra room does not need to be exclusive: access spaces of two or more pieces of furniture can overlap.

How do I measure the space to fit a buffet in?

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to put a buffet. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the opposite edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the area, as otherwise you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask someone else to assist, or divide what you need to measure into multiple parts. This can be done 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, try putting down a pointy object like a pencil there instead. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like pipes. Also don't forget to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is low like spaces under the stairs.

From the history of furniture: Tables and sideboards Part 4

In Figure 18 is given an English rendering of the Empire style, and shows a very plain and solid side board, with a sparing use of gilt at the tops and bases of the pillars. It has leaves which will draw out on the sides, for the use of the caiwer, and a rising back. It is made of mahogany and is not veneered. It is a good, plain piece of furniture, but is distinctly inferior, from an ornamental point of view, to those pieces which have preceded it.

In Figure 19 is given a much more ornamental piece, with richly carved legs and pillars and handsome pan elled doors. This style, which is on the Empire order, is sometimes called " Colonial," which is manifestly wrong, since that term rightly belongs only to furni ture made before 1776, and this was not invented till about 1800, long after our Revolution.

A pattern of sideboard which was popular about 1810 is also given, the glass knobs being thought quite "the thing " by the housekeepers of those days. A fine dining-table with heavy carved feet went with such a sideboard, and was often of mahogany. (Figures 20 and 21.)

In addition to these tables, which were distinctly for dining-room service, there were others, which could be found in different parts of the house, and were used for various purposes. I have no doubt that those most in use were the numberless little work-tables (see Figures 23, 25, 26) at which our grandmothers sat, laboring often far into the night to complete the many garments which had to pass through their hands, when neither sewing-machines nor " ready-to-wear " clothes were to be obtained. I have heard an old lady who had a family of ten children, seven of them girls, say that she made thousands of buttonholes every year, until each girl grew big enough to be taught to make her Own. But if they used the work-tables pretty steadily during the day, some evenings in the week were de voted to a game of cards, and many handsome tables were sent here from England, like those in Figure 22. Hepplewhite and Sheraton made delicate and elegant ones, still to be found in many homes. Most of these" us tables are ornamented with inlay, the familiar husk pattern " running down the legs, which so often tap ered to a spade-foot, or had a piece of whitewood let in a few inches from the floor. These tables generally closed Over on the top, so that they could be set against the wail when not in use. Rosewood card-tables were made in this country, elegantly carved and covered with baize on the top, but the Hepplewhite and Sheraton tables have usually plain wood tops.

Our philosophy

We strive to allow everyone to live comfortably even if they only own a small space they call home. We search the Internet for thousands of desks, cabinets, bookcases, shoe cabinets, beds, armchairs and so on by size, to find just the right one for you to go next to the bed 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 hall to the bedroom, don't live next to furniture - choose furniture that lives with you.

Did you know? We are also present in many other countries. You can look for 150cm wide sideboards in Australia or 60 inch wide sideboards and buffets in the US.
