Paint Furniture Design Dilemma

Bedside Tables: Go light or dark??

5 years ago

Hi all --- I am getting ready to paint my bedside tables (see pic) either light or dark and don't know which way to go. My instinct is to go dark blue (like Polo in Heirloom Traditions) but I don't always trust my instincts. I know I don't really love white ones for this room, but would love some help. What would you do????

What is the reason for blue? I guess I need to see the whole room. is this the bedding you will be using? Is the wall color staying? I need more info. IMO you don’t just pop a color into a space with no connection to anyhing else.I think a wider night table would be better , the bed quite contemrary the night table a bit country, the lamp neither. Please a pic of the whole space from further back and a bit more info.
