Master bedroom nightstand and lamps

10 years ago

We have one nightstand that matches our bed, and it is pretty large. We would like lamps on each side of the bed, so I think keeping them symmetrical is important. So far I am considering these options in no particular order:

Move the nightstand to the window wall, and flank the bed with small matching tables and lamps, or floor lamps

Keep nightstand and lamp as is, add floor lamp and chair in corner of room by window, and small table if space permits

Keep nightstand and lamp as is, add smaller table on other side of bed with lamp, trying to match height of other lamp and table.

All input appreciated!

Given the visual weight of the bed, I think it needs good-sized nightstands and good-sized table lamps and lamp shades. I would also skip a bench because I think that one's a bit too small for the bed and a larger one would block the traffic path too much.

I can't get my hands on the same nightstand or lamp though.

I agree the bench is too small for the bed, and a larger one may block traffic...(Although Restoration Hardware used to have an upholstered metal one that was long and thin)...... I think you might consider getting two matching table lamps and try to get a round side table that matches the general height of your night stand but have it with a marble top, maybe a dark metal wrought iron so visually it will flow across with the matching lamps and shades.

The bench was a leftover from the old house, not planning on keeping it. I don't think we will replace it with another either. I will look around for a wrought iron side table like you suggested, and maybe use this lamp elsewhere.

nightstands do not need to match, just harmonize. You could use a chest on one side as the bed has so much mass, it needs weighty tables.
