You got me thinking….maybe I am putting too much thought into the dresser and I should just get a white one from Wayfair/All Modern like the below. The nightstands are really what you see when walking into the room.

Maybe this combo instead?

I like that! I read alot of studio McGee blogs and one way this mix styles is choosing a piece of furniture low to the floor and another with legs. What you have picked is pretty but you could also consider a white dresser that’s lower to the floor. A side bonus would be you don’t have to dust underneath it.

Not sure if there will be anything helpful here but I love this blog, and this article might help

Maggie Worms - thanks fir the info and the blog. That does have some good info!

I went to look at the 2 dressers today and the quality just wasn’t there. Also, the pretty tiled wood did not look as pretty in person as it does online. Back to the drawing board…ha! At least I think I have a better idea of what might look ok in the space.

If anyone has a suggestion on where to get nice furniture, let me know. Although I’m finding it is hard to buy online without seeing and feeling it in person. I’m going to check out Pottery Barn next and maybe Arhouse Furniture. Both are nearby.

There is very little, with regards to quality, furniture out there. Perhaps you could find something vintage. We are looking at legit mid-century furniture right now. There is nothing like good, sturdy furniture.

Why not buy "good enough" piece for under tv - and only halfway showing anyway... plain piece sold unfinished by woodworker store.

Upholstered bench, or large canvas art on adjacent wall you'll also see.

Is lumbar a bit blue? what about blue stand I posted....

With tv merely mounted, there are ways to cover the tv... if dresser is to other side of 'post', would you want a mirror over as is typical?

Everdebz - I would maybe be ok with a cheaper dresser but when you are getting into it daily to take clothes out, it would sure be nice to have it glide well and not get stuck when you push it in. But I might be open to cheaper quality for now, if the price matches that. West Elm feels like cheap furniture with not so cheap of a price tag. I can’t buy a dresser for over $1000 and have it feel like IKEA. I’ll have to review the other options you posted. Acorn finish is my favorite but I’ve come to realize it is too different of a wood tone from everything else in my room. So I may save that for the family room.

No need for a mirror above the dresser.

Bcafe - I agree…I’ve been really disappointed when I go to look at what Is supposed to be high end furniture (Room and Board, for example). I have been looking at vintage dressers also. If I can find the right one, I might go that route. I guess it doesn’t have to be rushed….I’m just gonna keep looking.

Posting because your windows are white - this just is added on ..? sold in other colors/stains.

What about getting two Vintage milk crates and screwing mid century modern legs on them?

For the dresser I would pick something that Sparks joy. Perhaps with the style you described finding something on FB market (used with character) will be a nice balance to some more modern gestures in other design elements.

I actually like those colored nightstands. They are so cheap! The bottom one is too short….but I think the top one is taller if the specs are accurate. My mattress is at 26 inches (btw).

Never mind, I misread the specs. The lower one would work too.

There was an earlier suggestion here that you consider vintage furniture for the alcove dresser. Do check at area antique or consignment shops, or on Marketplace or Craig’s list. Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill, too. With measurements in hand. You can get really fabulous pieces that are very well made…. Real wood, not particleboard construction. Good luck! You have a good eye for what will work, given the nature of what you are posting. Trust yourself!

I missed earlier Wayfair, and that you like acorn finish... brainstorming -about covering tv nook with same curtains, and who could be sure what's behind curtain number 2? middle of night yikes.

Your comment that the bed/bedding/nightstands are in the first view walking in seems so good. I still say looking into Amish unfinished is ok - y'all chalk paint a nice neutral once it's home.

Just showing what seems uneven chalk paint, matte... idea with tv:

I can’t buy a dresser for over $1000 and have it feel like IKEA.

I find Ikea dressers great value for the money. Have three of them and appreciate their hardware and sturdiness. They've never let me down. The biggest drawback to Ikea dressers is having to build them. :) I was underwhelmed with West Elm furniture when I checked out their store a while back. Disappointed to read you've found the same with Room & Board. I'm in Canada so my retail options aren't as plentiful as in the States but I've found very few affordable quality options in the new furniture marketplace. Agree with the vintage option if it can work for you. As for choosing a second wood tone with the bed, I think the trick is to choose something that's a couple of shades different, be it lighter or darker. Anything too close to the current will look like a near miss. The visible grain plays a part as well. You probably want something quiet that won't compete with the fir. ETA: Looking at your picture again and have to agree your bed isn't bossy at all. In fact, we barely see the headboard because of the pillows.

Seeing how you have bedding added to the look - would gray wood be ok with metal lamp? not too monotonous...

DD2 has the West Elm Acorn dresser. It is extremely heavy and well made, and the quality cannot be compared to anything I've seen from IKEA. She originally bought night tables from Target, but sold them before her last move and replaced with better quality. That said, I do not think the WE Acorn collection is the best choice with your bed. I also would not do a white dresser with the white walls.

I agree that the room needs a rug and would pick that out first. It will give you a direction for the rest of the room (based on its style/design/color). Look at the new Amber Lewis Collection for Loloi "Billie." Some websites are showing the collection up to 45% off. Mixing a vintage looking rug with the modern pieces will create an inviting space. FWIW, I have numerous rugs with two dogs, and hair is not anymore of an issue with a rug than without one.

If the TV going in the recessed area, what about a wall to wall floating shelf below the wall hung TV? You would have some shelf space for a few accessories. If you need extra storage, you could add heavy woven baskets underneath the shelf.

If you are on FB, their Marketplace is a great source of finding vintage pieces for sell in your area. Also local antique stores. Quality pieces made in the 50s at lower prices than purchasing new, plus instant character and charm.

I'm glad to hear you've found the quality there at the WE price point, @Allison0704. I was shopping for nightstands at WE and was unimpressed with their quality/price ratio. How do the drawers glide in the West Elm dressers? This is a picture from the website. Is there hardware underneath the drawers?

@tartanmeup I asked DD2 - she said the drawer glides are on the bottom and has had no issues with them. The dresser is at least 6yo old.

I think this Rejuvenation rug would look amazing in there. It is pricey, and I can understand not wanting to spend that much on a bedroom rug, but wanted to post anyway for the color and pattern idea.

You mentioned Arhaus — I think using a piece with curves and embellished hardware would really enhance this room that has so many square and streamlined shapes. A collected look, mixing and matching complimentary styles.

I don’t know if the size is right, again, posting more for the idea of doing something different for your TV nook.

I would go neutral white on the nightstands.

Tartanmeup - good to hear that you have been happy with the IKEA dressers. The price point is really good. I was thinking it might be worth getting a plain white dresser from IKEA for now…and just take my time finding the PERFECT piece (if it takes awhile). Room & Board was ok and probably better than most of the places I’ve looked at where the dressers are made in China. I love how the furniture is all hand crafted in the US and is certified non toxic. But the furniture is very expensive (in my opinion) and would be quite a splurge for us. If spending that much, I want to love it. It still didn’t feel that heavy to me and the drawers didn’t glide as nice as I would have expected. Maybe I’m being too picky. I just couldn’t justify the price.

Jinx - I love that rug. If I can talk my husband into letting me get a rug, the next concern is getting it under the bed. We have 2 adjustable bases (split king)…ugh. So it will be no easy task.

Interesting idea about the black furniture in the nook. So many options…just trying to see what would work best. I know we are all about light colors to make our space feel as open and light as possible. The room itself is not that big.

I found this vintage Danish Modern dresser in my area that I may purchase. I just love this style and was hoping to incorporate it into the room.

I found these teak vintage nightstands too. Does this look like I tried to match and didn’t succeed? Or is it different enough to work? The dresser is oak (I think). Or is that too many wood tones? Reminder - the dresser is in the nook and can’t be seen from the entrance of the door.

I love the dresser, but I think the nightstands might be too much next to the bed. Hard to know if the color would work. Maybe get a swatch book from the paint & stain store.

Yeah I think I agree about the nightstands. Maybe back to white or a color would be best. I think the wood color of the dresser works though!

I do like that style! As long as I can find the right height. Our bed is 25-26” and some of the nightstands I’ve found that I like have been too low. So if I can pick up that vintage dresser and something with white and wood tones fit the nightstands, that might work.

I’m imagining something like this

Here are a couple I found that fit the height reqs

I love your dresser…and the nightstands. I get what others are saying about mixing it up a bit more, but the design is FABULOUS. I say get them, too. And then use them, perhaps, somewhere else? What I especially like is that they don’t match each other. Get them.

I like those last choices. :)

I like the wood with the white drawer fronts

Maybe one nightstand different [than the other]?

Wow for Danish find..

I still wonder about contrast with chalky charoal finish on a nightstand...

Really nice!

I like that one, too.

no brand or stamp mentioned. So I’m guessing quality might not be there.

If it's vintage, it already has a much better chance of being better quality than most name brands on the current market. Go check it out and see if it's a good storage solution for you. Are the drawers deep enough, etc.

Maybe the seller doesn’t know to look for the brand stamp or plaque. I’d definitely go see it.

If you didn’t get the dresser, snap up those night stands!
