Design Dilemma

Help with bedroom furniture

12 years ago
We have purchased this bed for our new home master bedroom. I would like to pair it with mirrored end tables but my dilemma is the dresser. I can't seem to find one I like. There is a white one I saw in a picture but it is custom made and that would likely be too pricey for us. Do you think the cream one I'm attaching is too creamy coloured to go with the grey?

    I think the dresser is a beautiful choice with your new bed. The bed had a masculine feel and the dresser will add that decorative sparkle every bedroom should have. I also find that grays can sometimes be a bit cool so pairing it with cream will help keep things warm and calming. What colour are your walls and floors? That would perhaps dictate a little more than other furniture.

      I think both dressers are fabulous! Love all the details in both. You could always look in second hand stores and have a dresser with great lines refinished in white as a more economical route to your desired look.

      Both are nice. I don't know how the second one would look,,the legs are different style, which might work.

      Prefer the dresser with nail heads . Looks more in style with your bed.

      Thank you for your help! We have not chosen a wall colour yet and the floor will be a neutral coloured carpet for now. That is a great idea to check out second hand shops for a dresser to refinish. Glad to know I could use the cream coloured one as well.

      I love the cream dresser. I think it looks very elegant and I like it much better than the mirrored top white one. The mirrored night tables are lovely, but don't over do the look. My daughter paired her powder blue upholstered head board with a gray duvet, mirrored nightstand and beige tall dresser with burgundy accents. The effect is lovely.

      Everything so far is fairly neutral and looks really nice...need to work linens and wall color, as that's going to be the most difficult.

      My challenge would be what wall colour will complement the cool grey bed and the warmer cream tone of the dresser?
    • 12 years ago
      I think a pale greige( grayish beige)
    • 12 years ago
      Black or gray furniture might look better

      I love your bed! I am looking or a similar style. Do you mind sharing the brand? Thank you and good luck with decorating!

      HI -- Nice everything , but what about some color or wood . Maybe look for a long low midcentury dresser in walnut or teak . Or find one you could paint in a dark ox blood red . Maybe look for an Asian console dresser in a dark rich ox blood red . Then a lavender tinted grey for the walls . This would all look great with that wonderful bed .

      Thank you for the ideas. I admit I don't usually go for colour, I'm more of a neutral tone person but those ideas have got me thinking now. I will look into some other options before making my final decision.

      Irinadh - we bought the bed from Structube :)

      Repainting a solid second hand dresser is the way to go on a budget, Then buy some new hardware and maybe even have a mirror top cut to order. You could lay that right over the existing top if the top is damaged. You'd probably get a better price for something with some damage.

      I too am looking at similar beds with similar furniture. Could you please disclose the make of the bed as it's exactly what I've been looking for!!!
      Many thanks
