Bedroom Finishes: Please Help!

12 years ago
Hello Houzz! I need major help with finishes in my new bedroom - I am having a major finish crisis! I I I have a few pieces of furniture already, and I'm not sure what style I'm going for or what would even go together. I have a tall 5 drawer espresso dresser that I basically NEED to keep. It's a good piece, and I can't really afford a new one right now. I also have a curvy black desk and a navy blue velvet bench for the end of the bed. I still need a bed and night stands. I really want to incorporate white into the design - I have my eye on a white high gloss desk from IKEA (I could use a larger desk). But I'm not sure I can add white to the mix. I already have espresso and possibly black. For the bed I was considering the IKEA svelvik (black wrought iron: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/S79889566/). But If I want to do espresso and white, I'm guessing the black is too much. Also, is it too vintage-y for a modern desk? To incorporate espresso, I am also considering an espresso bed, such as the IKEA malm ( http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/S39931162/). Then I could do a white desk and night stands? But then what about my bench? Does it fit in then? I've been thinking about this for a long time and have come to the point where I can't think anymore! Please give me some advice as to which pieces and finishes go together, or which type of pieces would help tie the design in. Thank you!
