Absolutely mix it up! Just keep some style element of them similar (for example, don't mix Victorian with country). If you decide to go with a painted dresser, make sure that color is picked up in pillows, lamps or other accents.

Thanks for the info! I have cherry end tables/ headboard and was thinking if doing a steamer trunk cabinet as my dresser. In opinion on color combinations!

First choose the colors you want in the room. Find inspiration rooms. The pic below shows a mix of cherry with rustic finishes. This works well with richer colors. If you want softer colors maybe white or cream colored pieces.

Love steamer trunks but aren't they short? And are you asking about color combinations? They are infinite. Depends on what fabrics or colors you have now - or are you doing a total makeover with new bedding?

If you can manage eclectic - you can go for something very different - such as a baroque old dresser painted in a vibrant colour or in a patina of silver. Sometimes mixing it up can work very well!

like this?

That's the exact trunk I was looking at!!! This Is the color. New house and want to do new furniture

I feel the colors are too similar. Do you have your bedding chosen yet? I really think the piece needs to be painted. i do like mixing wood tones, but these may be too close. What are your thoughts on this? The curves give a more formal feel while the finish is fun.

This is the other dresser I was looking at

I don't think my last post went. That is my new comforter ha ha. We built a new house so I pulled the old headboard and end tables over as they were only 2 years old. I like the painted one. We have very light gray walls white wood blinds and neutral carpet. My husband is very opinionated so I have to be careful what I pick lol

It works with the bed, but not sure about the end tables....what if you chose something painted black?

Ultimately it is your space and you must choose what you love. You have to wake up to it every morning.

ok, so I'm not sure where I saw curves in your end tables...lol. Your existng pieces are more contemporary than I thought. p.s. love your puppy!

Thank you! Shes adorable but a lot Of work! :) I like the second one. That's my problem is I just am clueless about what looks good together! The funny thing is the bed and end tables are from the same collection!! Lol better pics from crown mark fifth avenue collection

follow your gut....you have good instincts.

Thanks for all your input! You have been a good sounding board for someone that doesn't have huge confidence in their interior decorating skills!!

I am glad i could help.....I love design and shopping so this feeds my addiction and doesn't cost me anything. Just please yourself and don't buy anything you can't return...lol PLEASE post after pics- can't wait to see the end result

:) thanks so much! Ps do u like these for the bottom of the bed?

yes, very much....could you get them in a color fabric? I think a blue would be very nice

I've only seen brown cream and red

I wonder if you could put new on them easy enough- it wouldn't take much, just a thought. Ideas

I was thinking about that too... Re-upholster (sp?) it. I really like the last color... Would it clash with the plum coloring On the bedspread though?

Well there are other fabrics similar to that- i was just going for a stripe, a geometric, etc.....some variety to see what you were drawn to.

?

I'm def more of a stripe girl... Not super Girly

one more

I love that one! Where is it?
