Help - I need a nightstand to go with this dresser

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I bought this dresser (grey oak) from Restoration Hardware. Our headboard is beige fabric. What color nightstand do I buy?. We will change the color of the walls eventually, so I don't need to worry about paint color

Sure sarah -- the bed is Target, believe it or not, as is the chandelier. You might even find a better deal on the lighting. Here's the rug at rugs direct: http://www.rugs-direct.com/ShopDetail/Details/160707/Surya/CandiceOlsonModernClassics/CAN1982/WinterWhiteTanFlintGray Here's the bedding: http://www.bellahomefashions.com/hotel-style-borderline-white-tan-7pc-duvet-comforter-cover-and-sheet-set-p3298.html I threw the mirror in as a splurge at $2K from Coastal Cottage, but if you keep your eyes open, you'll find something at Home Goods.

I would paint the room white and wall behind bed the same color pink that is in chair and then add prints above headboard and a large piece of art on wall on the right. Change pillows on chair and bed to modern and vibrant colors in grey/pink and yellow and add a coverlette to bottom. Purchase larger lamp for table on right and remove lamp from left side of bed and place a tray and some books on the ottoman. Move carpet to beside the bed. White roman blinds and painting the door white would be a good idea and just ask at paint store what needs to be done to prime, etc. Adding a fun chandelier is also an idea.

Fabric. No art and no colors chosen for the walls yet. We have recessed lighting in the ceiling.

Since you mention the ceiling - a chandelier could be good place to mix/ transition between styles.... any thought?

Just sharing from houzz article/ story:
Start with a background of neutrals that have cool undertones, and then you could bring in a measured dose of citron, tangerine, fuchsia or another saturated hue. Or go dark and moody with indigo, plum, moss.

Also houzz: "Padded pieces should be simple and free of frills — nothing breaks the tension of industrial décor like an overstuffed wing chair or a tufted ottoman. Choose solid upholstery in natural textures and neutral colors."

I thought of your headboard as a bit tailored, do you think ?... so posting this fyi:

houzz: Although transitional usually denotes a balance between contemporary and traditional, that's not always the case. You can mix in a few (we repeat, a few ) pieces from other styles as long as they don't detract from the casual, tailored setting.

Yes, thanks. That's why I'm thinking a glass side table with iron edges may be the compromise between the two. The buttons on the headboard are also iron looking

I can see mirrored night stands with a little metal features and or dark gunmetal to match the color of the dresser(a smoked glass mirror)...it looks a "him" feature(the dresser)and the side mirrored tables will play along...and compromise plus add some sass even to a conservative space.

I would do something in a metal if possible rather than trying to match the wood tones. I am using a Pottery Barn set of metal nesting tables for my nightstand. The top table has a large drawer. Then I added a clear crystal lamp base with linen shade also from Pottery Barn to give the space a little "bling".

Susan, excellent choice on the dresser! It's a great addition to your bedroom. I agree with Rina, you're better off finding something that plays along with the dresser than matching the wood tones.

Actually, since it's been somewhat difficult finding the perfect night stand, it might be better having one custom-made to what you desire.

I have an idea in mind and can sketch it for you, if you are interested?

oooh, @leelee, great choice!! I also like the campaign style, but in a darker finish. again, I'd go with matching the hardware on the piece you have.

p.s. I also wouldn't go with any curves, it doesn't go with the lines of the piece you have...

I have a mirrored end table that I used as a nightstand. Drawers and space underneath with doors. Bought from Wayfair. Adds a little femininity and Hollywood glamour without beating you over the head. Visually seems to take less space.

Hi Susan,

here's a sketch of the custom nightstand I created yesterday. It's the middle ground between your drawer and the pottery barn nesting tables you liked.

The 4 ends of the nightstand would be metal and the color is an aged grey.

Susan Flemming - we went to purchase the Pottery Barn nightstand, but when we looked at the height, it's too tall (28")

Hi Susan,

I usually provide 2 sketches to see what you like the best. This nightstand is similiar to the last sketch but the metal legs are in a different shape.

honestly, it's best to have a square nightstand next to your bed than a a round one as they tend to be small end tables to a sofa.

Curious to see which of the 2 you liked? These take about 3 days to build and finalize for shipping.

Gotcha! Not a problem. Yeah seeing it in a store and in person is ideal. Yet, if you can't find what you like, then an alternative option could be for you to have your nightstand custom-made however you'd like. I am sure there are many professionals who can make it happen locally where you live.

Hope you find something soon! It's a great dresser to complement with your ideas for your bedroom.

Your dresser reminds me of a steamer trunk. I would find a vintage suitcase,perhaps just use a suitcase stand. Set lamp etc on top

go to a real cabinet maker and have the drawer units you want made to fit your space. paint grade lumber is not expensive. find a style you like and provide your cabinet maker with your picture. It will cost between $300 to $600 if you keep it clean lined and box shaped.

If you want to go really funky and add a little color some vintage suitcases piled on each other and screwed together so they dont move would be inexpensive and look great with that dresser!

I agree staying with a Campaign style. But make it more edgy by using a saturated color or high contrast, as in a lacquer finish, metal, or even mirror! The concept of the dresser seems to be organic, monochromatic, square and graphic. Your contrast piece needs to share most these qualities, but in a different manner. Such as a pop of color, contrast, or material. Then you'll know it will pop and compliment your scheme.

I would go onto Ebay or another site and look for small side tables. They might not have drawers, but you should be able to locate ones with bottom shelves to store items.
