Need to get a bedside table.

9 years ago

I got this beautiful bed from Anthropologie and have this Seletti A La Carte table as a bedside table for my husband's side of the bed. Need advice on what to have for my side. Thanks!

I think it makes tons of sense: it's the royal bed with the king on one side and the queen on the other! Therefore, I would go with something over the top queenly for your table. Then, so as not to stray into kitsch (unless you want to) I would stick with a strictly sophisticated black & white colour palate. Tons of luxe white bedding, black & white art photos, a few snow white sheepskins, maybe a white or black (or one of both) cashmere throw, some random antique silver used in an unexpected manner and maybe a beautiful clear glass vase or two filled with white tulips... and sigh...off to dreamland!

That's a cute table but I don't think it makes much sense next to that beautiful bed!

Fun in the bedroom...silly you! How about some color like the yellow side dresser and great hanging lights, maybe moroccan style?

First of all, thank you all for the input. In my defense, I'm quite into contrasting pieces, clashing styles, really. I do have an acid sense of humor so, if you guys knew me, the cards table would make a ton of sense. Do not like matching stuff. Have a penchant for a little kitsch-y touch. Would not go for a theme -- matching rococo style for the bedside tables and the rest of the furniture would not be my thing. Transforming the room into an extension of a Downton Abbey set would just not do the cut. I'm inclined to go for some clashing mid-century accents. Neon letters spelling ZZZ will go above the bed frame.

On your side a round mirrored pedestal table.

A gorgeous mirror and side table would perhaps be fantastic. Take a look at the design we did.

Daniella- did you ever find or decide on a table?

Yes, I did, tedbixby! I decided to go a high-low route. I decided for a reclaimed wood table, to contrast with the robust nature of the bed. The Ghost table idea was great, but, since I decided for the Seletti cards table for my husband's side, I needed one that offered storage on my side (also to contrast the light-weight effect of the cards table with something a little heavier on the other).

Once the bedroom is complete, definitely. The reclaimed wood table is custom made, so it's not here yet. I'll keep you posted!
