Consider how you want room to feel and how to pull it all together. Based on the dark headboard and light flooring and rug, suggest a mid-tone wood.

Can’t recommend a style as choices are endless, just be sure the nightstands are proportionate to the headboard as well as height of bed. Look on line for inspiration and in no time, you’ll narrow down what you prefer…then begin the search.

Like this color combo with your headboard.

Hope you don’t mind some advice and suggest a bit more of a layered, softer look for the bed and wouldn’t tuck things in (especially the added white blanket).

depends on what you need in a bedside table and dresser?

I don't believe they should match. your headboard is fabric, so a painted wood piece forone, and natural wood finish for the other.

I'd choose a bedside table large enough that can hold a lamp, and anything else required for a restful space. Height level with the top of the mattress.

a drawer to stash a book, lotion, notepad, etc.

Do you need a lot of drawer space for folded clothing? adding a mirror?

Didn't you have a similar post to this one a few days ago? and had received several suggestions. You shouldn't start another post, continue with the original one, you had pictures of the options you were considering.

wow, that’s quite a bed but I wouldn’t call it contemporary, would you? I don’t have any specific suggestions (haven’t been shopping for bedroom furniture in years) but I agree that you don’t need to buy everything to match. But IMO since the bedroom is intended to be a restful place, I’d probably buy matching nightstands. I also learned that it’s best to have the nightstand be the height of the mattress. My nightstands are a bit lower and next time I’ll do it differently.

Don't worry about the side, until you replace the cocktail table which is TOO small for the seating. At least try bringing seating ( both ) closer. No more than a fifteen inch passage, . Nobody can reach that as you have it. It has NO purpose. A larger square, or round?Either would be far better. Then ?A related piece in an opposite shape, square or round in a non matching related style. Reach.................scale, proportion, visual weight relative to surrounding upholstery.

There is no reason you can't keep the bed and the art. I might think about having the art re-framed. It has dark colors and could be framed in a wood that matches the sleigh bed, get a slightly larger double mat that is not such a brilliant white. Hang the art over the bed so you see it when you enter the room. Think about how your guests use the room. Weekend guests don't need a lot of storage. If the closet is empty you can place a luggage rack inside the closet. If they are watching TV it is usually from the bed. I would place the TV on the wall where they can view tv as they are laying on the bed. A small makeup vanity can serve many purposes, provide a chair for sitting, a desktop, a place to do their hair and makeup. There is one on etsy that may work nicely with your bed. Cherry makeup vanity Matching vanity stool is also available on etsy vanity stool If keeping the art, I would try to incorporate the blue or green colors from the art in the bedding and window coverings. Add a small blanket folded at the foot of the bed, an accent pillow and recover the seat of the vanity stool. Add a small nightstand with a lamp with a blue or green base and a little blue dish where they can set their glasses or phone or watch. Again - on etsy nightstands

I like wall mounted night tables with platform beds since tey allow some adjustment to height a bit of storage too and with the heating a great idea. Since the bed is upholstered I would proably look for matching dresser and night tables . I amnot getting much idea of your style but the bedding really could use an upgrade I like coverlets on platform beds instead of duvets I usually just fold a blanket at the foot for added warmth and the coverlet tucked in , We have no idea of your style so only gussing about that. I went to you idea books so this is my way of doing the bed not the actual prints or colors but like this . I do iromn my sheets too but the fact is those beds really look best when very tailored bedding is used
