I probably need to get some new photos, but we've had our bed in the corner almost the entire 5 years in this house. I use narrow tables about 30" long on both sides.

Here is a link that might be useful: Queen bed in corner

red: I am getting ready to move a bed to the corner also . Where did you get your lamps and tables ? I love the way you have them placed.

Junco I will post when pics too when I get it finished... I am SO glad you asked this question :) c

We had our bed on the diagonal in our last home. We had a really beautiful torchiere lamp behind the bed. Didn't get used much once our kids were no longer small enough to pile into bed for a book, but it was pretty even when off. I don't have pictures or I'd post one. We used a round bedside table on one side where the wall bumped out but nothing on the other side. No pictures on the wall behind the bed either. I really liked the bed that way...it wouldn't work out in my new bedroom or it would still be on the diagonal.
