I love Wisteria, and especially these lovely French chests that are my nightstands (happy to say I got them when they were less!). I highly recommend this company. So sweet, the elephant label soaps they tucked in a drawer as a gift.

What is the best material for French nightstands?

The best material for French nightstands tends to be a weathered wood. French nightstands lend themselves best to the vintage, almost farmhouse-chic look; so you’re looking for a hardwood piece that has been painted and then aged so that some of the original wood peeks through.

In addition, while you should match the color of the paint to your home’s existing aesthetic, you should be aware that for the most integrity and accuracy, the paint color in question should be a light pastel (e.g., cream, sage, or robin’s-egg blue).

Should your nightstands match your bed?

Your French nightstands don’t necessarily have to match the bed. In fact, you can help them stand out even more by choosing them in a different color.

However, to maintain a cohesive feel in your bedroom, it would be helpful for them to share at least one feature with the design of your bed.

For example, you could have French nightstands in a different color but with the same cabriole legs as your bed frame. Or, alternatively, nightstands in the same shade but with a simpler (or more elaborate) design.
