The nightstands are too short and the lamps too small

Thank you!

You art is not the right scale. It should be taller.

I like the art just as is I do agree on the nightstands and lamps and i would like to see just a splash of some color . I have a gray bedroom with just a spash of yellow

Would it be ok to use white nightstands or stay with wood stained? I really like the ones in the second of the example photos that Beverly posted.

White would be fine. Look at lamps in silver mercury glass

Hello,
Thanks for your help and much needed opinions!
I went with a mirrored chest on each side. Now for the lamps...

A few questions for you:
1. Would the mercury lamps be too much shiny stuff now? If so, should I use colored lamps or clear or white?
2. Are the photos on the wall too much?

Most of the rest of the house is "lemon pound cake"yellow.

3. Would it be too much yellow to use as an accent in here or would it be a good thing to tie into the rest of the house or would it be better to use any of the colors I have shown on the bed here?

Thanks so much!
Anne

I would go with the mercury lamps and make sure they are at least 6-8" taller than the one in the photo. It would be great to use yellow in the room, pillows on the bed, even yellow lamp bases or mercury glass with yellow drum shades.. It just needs a little "umph".

I'll head over to home goods and look for some pillows and lamps right now(maybe a new gray and yellow quilt!)

Is it possible to hire a professional to come to my house and tell me what to do with the rest of the house? It might be too small of a project to interest a pro.....

You certainly can hire a pro for small projects. Although I have to say, You did pretty well in this room.

Thanks for your help!

I love your quilt that is on the bed...maybe some yellow pillows or turquoise to match your vase

I'm having trouble finding mercury lamps that are tall enough. The ones at Overstock are only two inches taller than the one I have. I'm considering getting the candlestick type lamp and painting it silver with a yellow drum shade or painting it bright white with yellow drum shade.
What are your thoughts?

Hi...is that tile above your bed?

I love it, it's brilliant...

Yes it is tile.

Can I ask how you put it up? (and sorry for the slight thread-jack).

And I never think you can have too much shiny stuff re: the lamps.

Perhaps trying lamps like the ones in our design below will help?

kjbjw- the tiles come on a mesh backing so I used tiny 1/2 inch nails. I used about 5 nails per page of tiles.

Thanks Randy! I'll keep these in mind while shopping.

Your room is very lovely!! I like the simplicity without the smaller pictures.

I stacked books under my too short lamps.
You also could get some of that mirror spray paint and large glass vases to make your own mercury glass lamps.

I like that idea Kathleen!

Should I keep the lamp shade like they are or would they look better painted black?

Do not paint black. They look fine.

Also, if you read in bed, you definitely do not want to paint the lamp shades black as the shades will not allow enough light to filter through.

Thanks for the input!

The additions you made really added to the room giving it a nice "finished" look. Nice job.

I like your style

Lovely room!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to help me. I really appreciate the much needed advice.
