Ideas for Mixing and Matching Bedroom Furniture
If you’re in the market for new bedroom furniture but don’t want a matched set, there are other options. Get ideas for mixing and matching bedroom furniture in this video by Better Homes and Gardens:
Don’t even begin by choosing a bedroom set. Think instead about how you can mix and match different pieces of furniture and use them as nightstands.
- Consider putting a chest of drawers on one side of the bed and a table with open shelving on the other. These don’t have to match but they feel similar in style.
- A round accent table typically placed in the living room can be paired with a metal bed and has enough room to hold a clock, smart phone, lamp, book, and glasses.
Think about mixing up the textures across the pieces in your room, from the headboard to the nightstand to the dresser.
- An antique bed with a curved headboard and footboard in a girl’s room can be paired with a brightly colored vintage barrel table.
- Have a dresser serve as a nightstand on one side of the bed with an old vintage desk on the other side and use a piece of artwork hanging above the bed instead of a headboard.
- A wrought iron bed mixed in with a rustic wall treatment and a vintage ladder used as a nightstand is another great combination.
- Another trick to helping your bedroom not look like it matches is to use an upholstered headboard. Pairing it with a wicker basket as a nightstand is a great way to blend in textures and colors.
