I need help redecorating guest bedroom - do these items work together?

I purchased this bed and desk yesterday. Do you think I can add this nightstand into the mix or do they clash? They would be placed on either side of bed.

It would be as you enter, and to the right of door as you enter bedroom; nightstand, bed, and the desk is on the other side of the bed with a window to the left of desk.

    Don't go all legs. Nightstands should arrive at mattress height. Are you going to post a pic of the room?

    Everything looks great so far.

    That nightstand is brilliant, what a great idea to add a pull-out to a nightstand so you can write something down while speaking on the phone, although they should have added a drawer for the pad and pen!

    I would suggest as decoenthusiaste does to watch out for legs as you add more furniture. For example, if you add a sitting chair, an upholstered chair where you can't see the legs would be nice.

    Also, it might be nice to add some color to the room, so it is not all stark white.

    The bed frame and nightstand/desk seem to be from two different style families, but they don't necessarily clash. Make sure the white of the stands play well with the fabric on the bed!

    Thank you decok, lieu, Lyn & Sammie.

    I'm waiting to paint rooom Cotton White and, once it's painted, I'll post pictures.

    I hadn't thought about all those legs; thanks for pointing that out. I am returning the desk.

    Not going to put a desk in that room after all. Just didn't look good; not enough space. I'm going to keep a fold up desk in the closet.

    I like a small desk or table in a guest bedroom.

    Many people will bring a laptop and will want to have a surface to work on, and it is not advised to work on the bed or your lap, it gets lots of lint and dust in there.

    That's why college students fry their laptops on a regular basis, they work on their beds and laps and on the floor, and lots of dust and lint get in them and they don't vacuum them regularly or replace the heat paste either.

    I would keep clutter to a minimum in a guest room and one of the ways to do that is to not have a bedside lamp.

    You can have wall-mounted sconces that are plug-in so you don't have to use an electrician.

    These posts have been very helpful. Thank you all so much. The bed just came in; not assembled but I like the color. It's a true linen beige. Desk is out. Still waiting for the nightstand and not finding a desk that appeals to me. If anyone has any suggestions, please share them here. I do have one piece in that room that is an antique and I am now thinking i won't replace it because it's perfect for storage.

    You can use them if you acknowledge they are not nightstands, but desks...

    Here we have included just a few of our bedroom designs, along with one small desk design. Perhaps you can look into a small desk that can be used as a nightstand, as others suggested. Please also look at all of the nightstands we used in our designs below.
