Colored dresser with brown furniture in bedroom

9 years ago

I'm in a new home and starting with a clean slate. I have a bedroom set im interested in. I was going to buy the chest and dresser but I came across someone locally that paints vintage furniture with chalk paint and they look great. I'm unsure if I should just buy the bed and chest and buy a colored dresser. The thing I'm worried about it that it will clash with the set I have picked out. I also don't know what color I would get and if I would grow tired of it. What do you think? My room is benjammin moore cement grey with the wall my headboard is on is a dark grey Benjamin moore stone

Hi, LA, do you have photos of your bedroom and this furniture that you are talking about?

Sounds like you're going to buy a bed and chest in stained wood from a retailer or online. Then you may buy a chalk painted dresser, but we don't know what colors they are available in, so couldn't say whether they would clash.

We could advise on colors of the painted piece, if we could see the bed and chest in the stained wood, but I don't think anyone here could say whether you'd tire of it or not. If you did, it could always be re-painted a different color, though. I've done a lot of painted furniture over the years, both for myself and to sell, and you can really change up a piece with a new color and a change of hardware.

This is the bedroom set I was going to buy but with the chest (not shown) and not the dresser.

Here are a couple examples of the colors I would be interested in for the dresser. I dont have a picture of the piece as I will have to keep an eye out for for one.

I do like the dresser too. I just need to figure it out before I buy one.

The scale/size of the furniture you're interested in seems quite large, unless the photo is distorted. Not sure how easy it's going to be to find a piece that works with it. I think whether or not a pained piece will work with the stained pieces is the size of your room. If all of the pieces are going to be in very close proximity to each other in a smaller room, I don't think it would work. Perhaps if you changed out the bed for a fabric headboard, it would look less like you bought a bedroom set that didn't come with a dresser so you bought a random dresser and painted it to have more storage. I think with all of the wooden pieces matching except for the dresser, it won't work.
