Need help decorating our bedroom!
We sold all of our old bedroom furniture and have the 2 nightstands and bed I have attached on order. I've always wanted some mirrored nightstands but I am having a hard time designing around them. I would never buy a whole set of matching furniture especially mirrored because I believe they should be accent pieces. I would love a tall chest of drawers for storage and some accent pillows and rug. Suggestions?
(PS my walls look green in the picture but are more grey with a green undertone and flooring is hickory.)

Was about to say rustic so I'm glad it's something you were thinking of. I love this bedroom from houzz and the desk on the left is what I'm thinking as a dresser.
Is the white bedding new? What's the bed look like? How about a nice pewter-colored throw neatly angled across the bottom of the bed - a raw silk would have texture w/out competing w/ the duvet. For the floor I'm thinking small flokati (sp?) rugs where your feet hit in the mornings, w/ another area rug in the middle of the room, or a bigger one to encompass more space. Something thick & delicious & in pewter tones. Consider painting just the wall behind the bed 200% whatever the color is now.
Keep accessories to a minimum esp. on nightstands, and ZERO clutter. You want to walk into your bedroom & sigh w/ contentment, not look around @ all the picking up you have to do. Use new flameless candles, as I think I saw a wee one in your bedside photo & you don't want to worry about burning down the house while enjoying your new retreat.
Then, enjoy! Our mbr should be a haven.
Jamiete I can't wait until our next home to have a wallpaper accent wall!
Another idea I had for painting the bed wall is the 200% of the current color, but w/ a bit of purple thrown in. By print I'm guessing you mean for over the bed? That means relocating the mirror (which I support) maybe over the chest you're going to add. You don't want anything too distracting above an upholstered headboard ... what about an old (or old looking) architectural wood fragment to pick up the wood tones of the floor? Or something organic pulling the subtle colors in & lots of movement, but no obvious 'picture'. Understand?
Foot-of-bed benches are all the rage, but I have to tell you I have an old English bench in my mbr & it's become a dumping ground, + from the photos it doesn't look like you have the space. I like mcbriec's idea of a weathered grey chest - you can buy an old or new one & do it yourself, DH will be proud.
Instead of painting the bed wall, you could also paint the ceiling a pale greige-purple. Not too dark, but would add interest. Also, see if something can be done w/ electronics above tv - maybe a recessed shelf, & tv can also be recessed into the wall.
Please post pics when it's done, can't wait to see it!
