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

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the floor area where you'd like to place a hob. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start 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 what you need to measure up into multiple parts. This can be done 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 pair of scissors there instead. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't be able to go like skirting boards. Also it may be necessary to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is low like spaces under the stairs.

Questions and answers

How can I coordinate colours?

If you can choose between different colours for a hob that fits your space and budget, it is useful to know how different colours work together. The two main things to consider for everything colour is balance and associations. Balance means that the colours in your space should be coordinated, so that the space looks like a unit. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and selecting colours that are either quite close to each other, or quite 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 understand colour. Associations with and emotions connected to colours are also important. It is quite probable that these associations are cultural and learnt, which means that they can be very different for different individuals. Blue is often associated with productivity, but also calmness, stability and even sadness. Green is clearly the colour of nature, and is considered to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures this latter is yellow). White can be connected to peacefulness, cleanliness, innocence 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 means danger or importance, so you probably need to put it next to a neutral colour to allow the eye to rest. These emotions are so different that these guidelines seem to boil down to just one piece of advice: pause and think what the colour means for you.

Can I order the grey hobs by price?

Our philosophy

We aim to allow every one of us to live comfortably even if they only own a small area they call home. We scan multiple webshops for thousands of desks, cabinets, shelves, storage units, beds, sofabeds and so on by size and colour, 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 bedroom door. From the kitchen to the bedroom, don't live next to furniture - buy furniture that lives with you.
