Stacy: We feel that the nightstand on the left should be beside the bed. Then on the right side of the bed why not add a Terrific Trio Table with a tablecloth in a matching fabric as your window treatment on the opposite side. This will pull the color across the room and make it more balanced. If you love symmetry, try adding matching lamps on both the nightstand and the table. That should give you some visual symmetry. The room will never be totally symmetrical but you can fool the eye by repeating color and matching the lamps. Please let us know what you think.

Hello, Our bed in our master bedroom is centered on a wall that has one window to the right of the bed. The left of the bed has wall space. I am not sure if the night stand on the one side of the bed should be centered under the window and I don’t know what to do with the other side of the bed. If I pull the night stand closer to the bed, then it is only half way under the window. The other side of the bed looks lop sided because there is no window. The bed is aligned underneath a large coffered vaulted ceiling. If I move the bed over to one direction, then it is not centered under the vault. It is making me crazy! I like symmetry and do not know how to acheive that in this room. Please help! Thank you!!!

She still has a problem with lighting for the bed area. Ideally it should not take up table space…and she should not have to go to the trouble of wall mounts (although a possibility). Also, a dimmer option would be VERY nice.
Floor lamps would not really fit the decor….something unobtrusive mounted over bed with multiple lamps, plug-in with cord covers??? But could not be TOO modern with that decor…..

Dear Ella: Sounds like you have a warm and inviting bedroom. We suggest a series of prints above your bed. The Whimsical Dragonfly & Butterfly Prints (WT839) would be a great choice. You can also look at the Lodge Leaf Prints (WT839) for a different look. Without knowing what colors (othere than beige) are in the room, we gave you two different looks. Hope this works!
