Questions and answers

Does a microwave oven use less energy than a traditional oven?

You can save a real amount of money on your energy bill by using your microwave oven more than the big one. Microwaves are extremely energy efficient: the electromagnetic waves they generate only heat up the food (or, more specifically, the water molecules in your food), with only a small amount of the heat and energy lost to the room. By constrast, a conventional oven heats up itself and everything in it before it can heat up the food, losing a lot of the heat to the outside in the process. David Watsky at CNET estimates that using the microwave costs half of using a gas oven, and 40% of using an electric oven.

How to choose the best colour for a microwave oven?

The two things to consider when it comes to colours is balance and associations. Balance simply means that the colours in one's space should be coordinated, so that it looks like a unit, and not just a random collection of elements. This can be achieved by using a colour wheel, and selecting colours that are either quite close to each other, or relatively far. 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 to keep in mind, and there are many guides 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 quite different in different cultures or just 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 said to be associated with safety, luck and envy (though in other cultures envy is yellow instead). White can be associated with peacefulness, innocence, cleanliness and emptiness, and, for example, mourning in India. Red is considered to be the colour of friendship, energy, leadership, desire and revenge, which is a very wide range of emotions. 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 eye to rest. These emotions point in so many directions that these guidelines all seem to boil down to just this: pause and consider what the colour means for you.

Our philosophy

We want everyone to live comfortably even if they only have a small space they call home. We scan multiple webshops for thousands of desks, cabinets, bookcases, storage units, beds, armchairs and more by size and colour, to find just the right piece to go next to the bed and turn the room into a dressing corner, or to find that extra long sofa that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the bedroom door. From the kitchen to the bathroom, don't just live next to furniture - get furniture that lives with you.
