Alright, so I'm hoping this is a good subreddit for this. I've just been thinking about my bedroom lately, and as a long-term goal, I'd like to spruce some things up a bit in here.
My style/taste:
My favorite color is pink. I love pastel pink and hot pink. I love sparkle and glam, too. I like "grown up girly" things. I am drawn to a Barbie-like aesthetic that doesn't scream "kids room."
My current setup:
- A plastic 3-drawer storage cart currently sits next to my bed. I store my most commonly worn clothing in the drawers, and have a lamp, an alarm clock, skin care items, etc on top. The top is bowing in, causing items to tip over constantly and making it harder to close the drawers. But I like where it is. It forms a right-angle with my bed, so I can sit on my bed and put away laundry. I have a chronic illness that causes a lot of fatigue, and this set up helps conserve energy. Having this side table/dresser combo also saves space.
- My bed is very similar to this one. So the mattress and box spring are very thick, which makes the bed tall. My bed and box spring are on the floor right now. I'm only 5'0, so any bed frame I purchase can't make the bed too much taller. But I need a bed frame, because my bed is in a corner against two walls, and items on my bed are constantly falling into crevices where they're almost impossible to retrieve. The mattress also shifts a lot, so an inch or two of the mattress will be hanging off the box spring. A bed frame would help all of that.
- My current colors are pink, black, and zebra (it symbolizes rare disease). I have black curtains, a tall black shelf, baby pink sheets, a zebra comforter, and a black pillow case. My side table/dresser has one very small pink lamp on it, and the side table itself is white. My room needs more pink!
What I'm looking for:
I'd love to add a few new pink items to my room that reflect my glamorous pink aesthetic. I love the tufted look. It just looks more opulent to me. I'd love to find a bold pink dresser and bed frame. I don't have a lot of money, so I can't just drop $1500 on one dresser. I'm not going to go into too many details about my finances, but I will say that it is beyond my control, and I'm hoping they will improve very soon.
The bed frame, as I mentioned before, should look girly. I like glamour. Pink is best. As for the dresser, I need to be able to store all my pajamas, socks and undies in there, since I wear those the most. So a small little night stand just won't work. I need a full dresser that is wider than it is tall, and close to the same height as my bed. Three single drawers like this will work, but I also like how sometimes the top row of drawers is "split," like this. I also like the 6-drawers look if it maximizes storage. I basically need to be able to tuck everything away without constantly straining, reaching, squatting, etc.
What I've found:
I really like this bed frame from Baxton Studios. And I really like this matching table, but it needs to be closer to this size. It would look weird to have a white dresser and a pink bed frame IMHO. And all white would look bland. Plus, I researched Baxton Studios on other websites, and the quality seems questionable. But hopefully, you understand what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
