keep them! Just put some ambient lighting on the nightstands. Recessed is wonderful!

I think the most important thing for you to do to your bedroom is to make it look interesting. I wouldn't worry about whether the walls are light or dark, as long as things are well lighted, with dimmer controls. I love the bedroom below. If I were copying this bedroom, I'd place mirrors in the framed area above each nightstand. Those white art pieces made with small branches that are above the bed are from Z Gallerie and run about $39 each. Pretty cool!

I'm no pro, but I'm curious-does this apartment exist? It reminds me of a project my husband took in an elective class, Intro to architecture, where he was required to design a living space as part of his final grade (Or is it some sort of student housing??) I'm asking because 1) All of the bedrooms are the same size and are isolated from each other, 2) the dining area at 10 x10 in the middle is going to be a corridor and you'll have almost no space for a table and chairs. 3) Then also all the bathrooms are ONLY accessed through the closets, which is extremely awkward for visitors. As far as the bedrooms, not necessarily an exciting choice, but your easiest choice is a bed against the toilet wall, with at least one nightstand, and a dresser on the wall by the door.

If you go with the black bed, get a rustic and in fall colors night stand, that will stand up with the orange. Or that particular bedspread has golds, browns, and other shades... you might even be able to work a fall leaf red (sort of a dark faded red) in there for the night stand and the red into more accent pillows that would take the Halloween away. Stay away from bright limey greens and not picking up more of the orange or black and you could make it work well.
