I'm a bit hopeless with furniture. I can intuitively find furniture that's functional and practical, but for whatever reason I've always had trouble with finding furniture that matches and is pleasing to the eye. It's odd, because I don't have trouble with aesthetics when it comes to anything from clothing or landscaping. A couple of years ago, I decided to buy some furniture for my bedroom. What ended up happening is I got a black/dark brown minimalist desk, a mahogany tv stand, a pine book case, and a black wicker hamper. My room makes most dorm rooms look like they were designed by Ethan Allen. I can deduce based on my understanding of how things match that it's a mess, but it doesn't bother me to look at. It's not like wearing brown chinos with a pink dress shirt, there the second I see or imagine it, I know something has gone terribly wrong.
All that having been said, after googling a bit and looking at some furniture sites, I do see things that I like:
