Nightstand to nightstand. What do you like over your headboard?
Comments (34)This was over our bed until a week ago. I made it before we acquired our sweet, little brown dog (who now sleeps with us) and it is a huge ordeal to keep it dust and fur free. I was also getting a little tired of all of the gathers & trim. The painting will stay and since I still like the fabric, I'll be re-doing the drapes on either side of the bed from "puddling" rod pockets to floor-length pinch pleats....See MoreWhat kind of dresser and nightstand to go with this bed?
Comments (1)A warm wood or a lighter wood but not white. I like the lighter feel of these first 2 to balance the heaviness of the bed....See MoreHave a BEAUTIFUL bed but not sure what style nightstands to pair
Comments (3)What do you mean by tall. Nightstands are best kept to the proper height for a lamp to sit above for reading not in relation to the headboard. In this case I would be looking at something wider than the average for a nightstand so more like a dresser .I sure hope you have a huge bedroom that is quite a statement piece. I rarely like sets but in this case matching nightstands might be the way to go.This is a good rule of thumb for height. Because it's often tied to the height of the mattress, there is no standard nightstand height. In general, it is easier to raise your arms than to lower them when you are in bed. With that in mind, the rule of thumb is to have your nightstand level with the top of the mattress or within two to six inches higher.Jul 10, 2017...See MoreWhat kind of nightstand is best with an antique farm house style bed?
Comments (5)Do you have room for a matching pair and how wide/narrow do they need to be? How much room atop the nightstand do you need. If you read in bed, your lamp needs to deliver enough light to not strain your eyes. Usually a tall lamp with white shade works best. With a smaller base and tall thin post for the lamp there is usually more room atop the nightstand for a cell phone and/or an alarm clock. In addition to a drawer, do you want open shelving for a box of tissues?...See MoreUser
