What color/style nightstand should i get?

Q. I decided on a black steel bed for one of my bedrooms but i dont know what type of dresser or nightstand to get with it. It is not sold as a bedroom set. The store suggested that most people who buy this type bed get black solid wood furniture like an armoire or chest to complement it. i am not into matching since i have eclectic taste just wondering for some suggestions.
It is the masterbedroom and the walls will be a light gray color. The trim is white and the bedroom comforter set will be either white or blue.

A. With a black steel bed any color would go with it. You could try to match or tone in with the floor or wall. Or you could go with a contrasting color, although probably best not to have more than 3 or 4 colors total. It also depends a bit on the size of the room, i.e. the larger the room, the more colors you could use, if you want to. Also, because it is a bedroom, maybe you should use paler pastel colors rather than bold primary colors.

The main thing is to have fun with it!!!!!!!!


Is there a big difference between coffee and espresso colored furniture?
Q. I am trying to complete a bedroom set by purchasing different parts from different sets. The headboard I bought was beautiful, but the dressers and armoires weren't. So I'm putting together my own "set". I would consider my headboard to be an espresso color and there is a dresser online that is considered "coffee" color. There are other dressers that are espresso but I L0VE this dresser. If I were to purchase it would the colors be totally off?

A. Espresso is nearly black Coffee is a very dark brown ..As far as the colors being off...yes depends on their proximity and the lighting too. PLus the colors are wildly different manufacturer to manufacturer. It could work especially if it is multitoned.. What I would do is take a photo that accurately represents the color of the headboard and email it to them but their monitors could be skewed.

Where is the manufacturers label located on bedroom furniture?
Q. I have a mid-century bedroom set and I'm curious to know who the manufacturer was.

A. On furniture, unless it's upholstered furniture, there isn't a label per say. Usually, a furniture manufacturer will stamp or burn their label on the underside of tables, on the backing of armoires and dressers, etc.


We are looking for ideas on how to set up the master bedroom without dressers or nightstands.?
Q. Our new place has lots of closets and storage. We are thinking of not going with the norm of bedroom sets and do something different. Suggestions welcome!
We are also not planning on having a television in the room. Any other ideas?

A. I guess it would depend on how big the room is. If you're planning on buying a new bed you could up-size as long as it doesn't overpower the room. A chaise lounge would be really pretty and you could put a floor lamp next to it for reading. You might also consider a tall mirror - either one you can lean against a wall or a free-standing one. You don't want the room to look too plain so curtains would add some color. Are you putting a TV in the room? An armoire would look good and add some height to the room.
