White bedroom furniture and black bedroom furniture both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Which you should get is partly a matter of your sense of style and taste, but there are also practical considerations. Just keep in mind that moderation is key here – an all-white bedroom would leave you feeling unbalanced while an all-black bedroom would likely make you feel gloomy and depressed.
If you live in a modern house or apartment (where the rooms are usually smaller in size), you probably want a light colored theme for your bedroom. White wood bedroom furniture is always a safe choice. If your bedroom walls have already been painted a pure or bright white, you can still choose an off-white or cream shade for your bed and wardrobe while having your curtains and bedding in some other darker color. But a black bed and wardrobe would obviously be better in this situation. On the other hand, if your bedroom does not receive much sunlight in the morning (for example the windows face north or west), an all-white bedroom can be a good thing. This lets you get more light when you are waking up, which has been proven to prime people better for the rest of the day.
If you are gloomy in nature or claustrophobic, black furniture is not for you. Black, as a color, has been shown to make many people feel more negative. Black bedroom furniture absorbs light, making a dark bedroom darker and a small bedroom smaller. On the other hand, if you tend to be hyper and your bedroom is too large and spacious, you may be better off with a dark-themed bedroom – black-colored bed and wardrobe with walls painted some dark color.
Many lazy people (or parents of lazy children) who choose black bedroom furniture because they think it does not show dirt and stains as easily. Unfortunately, this is not true. Most dirt tends to be gray and show up equally well against both black and white surfaces. If dirt is a concern for you, you may want to spend a bit more on furniture that is painted with one of the modern formulations which both resist dirt yet are easy to clean. In this case, cottage white bedroom furniture is as good as black modern-style bedroom furniture.
Whether you buy your bedroom furniture in white, black or some other color is often a matter of taste. Black tends to be more adventurous while white and brown are safer and more conservative. But remember to take note of the practical considerations as well – more white is better in a small bedroom that does not get much light, and more black is good in a too-large bedroom that is too bright.
