Cherry Bedroom Furniture

My boyfriend and I bought a house and he has cherry wood bedroom furniture (2 dressers and 1 nightstand). I want to paint the walls a lighter color to reflect the light, and to offset the dark wood. Suggestions?

"Restrained Gold" by sherwin williams would be beautiful. Check it out on bedroom #1:

national-office-furniture.com I was searching everywhere for information on cherry office furniture and then I found this website. Lots of cherry ...

My style is traditional. I want a medium cherry. I like panel beds, not sleigh beds. But most panel beds are boring... need something with a little bit of curve on sides, not just a big box look. I have looked EVERYWHERE on line and just can't find a bed & bedroom set I like. HELP!! We are willing to spend a decent amount of money for something we are going to love for years.

Cherry furniture custom
I can see why you have been having an impossible time finding quality solid Cherry furniture. 99.99% of cherry furniture is a combination of Hardwood and hardwood veneer over particleboard with a Cherry finish. Import is the name of the game no matter who the maker is. There is virtually no large scale furniture manufacturing in America today. One option is custom furniture offered by small craft shops in the mid west. Often Amish or Mennonite shops make very fine furniture in your choice of woods. We have Amish craftsman that can offer Solid cherry with impeccable quality. One group being manufactured for www.barnfurnituremart.com has the curved lines you spoke of that we stock in Quarter Sawn White Oak. These pieces can be made in Solid Cherry to your size specifications and in any piece either bedroom, dining room, or any other piece you would like. The link shows this group with Mission Style handles in Oak; however, we added the Mission handles and changed the wood to turn it into Mission. We can easily use any other styles of hardware.
It is always best to start with one small piece to get an idea of the quality of the shop and you should beware of Amish makers who are Amish furniture brokers. Their prices are higher and sometime the quality is not as good.
We have many customers that fly in to visit our store which has been in the same location for 65 years.

My parents are giving me a dark cherry bedroom suite (dresser, mirror, chest, and nightstand) that is fairly modern (black handles, smooth lines). But the bed I'm getting is slightly lighter in color and more classic looking. See the link below.

I want to make a canopy to drape over the posters of the bed so it will disguise most of the poles. Like this..

How can I make this modern? What color scheme pairs well with dark cherry furniture?

Red/raspberry and cream together would work well with cherry wood furniture. You could paint one wall in the red shade...

Or for a modern twist on the 'feature wall' idea, why not paint your ceiling red and keep the walls cream or white.

Or you could for for something fresher like sage or duck egg blue. This shade of blue works so nicely with dark stained wood, but would also work with your slightly lighter coloured bed. I love brown and duck egg blue together...

Or you could embrace the retro feel that cherrywood creates and decorate with earthy greens and browns... there is a great cross-over between retro and modern looks, and you can achieve this by dressing the room with accessories such as a contemporary chrome arc lamp...
