Do metal/wood go together?

Question

We are considering moving to a new house where I will have a smaller room. To save space, I am thinking of getting a loft bed so I can place a desk underneath it. My parents will let me have 1000 dollars to do my room. We have been on IKEA and have found a lot of furniture that could go in my new room for less than 1000.

But there is a problem... to make the 1000 dollars work I would need to get a metal loft bed. I like how the metal ones look... more modern. I would probably end up getting a metal dresser and desk also. But my grandfather gave me a beautiful, handmade , DARK WOODEN jewelry chest for my birthday, which I would never sell or give away. And the floor would be hardwood and so would the molding/door. So my question is-

If I got metal (black) furniture for my room, would it clash with my dark wooden jewelry chest, dark wood floor, and the molding/door? I want to stay in my budget, and nice wooden loft beds w/ desks are over 1000 dollars.

Answer 1

Absolutley. Keep in mind to continue with the same metal and wood colors throughout the room and you'll be fine. A combination of the color tones can be picked up in your bedding, curtains, lamp shades, etc. It also sounds like you need a special place to set you jewelry chest What a nice gift. Good luck - LT
