Put together a gorgeous guest room by combining a light wood bed with furniture in other colors. Create a rich, harmonious color scheme by pairing your cool pine or ash bed with a unique purple dresser. Or, arrange a red or orange upholstered ottoman near your warm oak and maple lightwood bed for a warmer palette.

Want a space that encourages you to unwind at the end of the day? Start with a comfortable light wood bed. Sand or tan storage models with built-in drawers keep clutter out of sight. Add pastel bed linens on a driftwood sleigh frame to establish a calm, tranquil space. Light wood beds also have an airy feel that brightens rooms while giving you an ideal place to sleep.
