Hi everyone, need some assistance for our new-to-us bedroom.

We have a black walnut king bed (80.5"W, Stickley Walnut Grove Studio Bed) with 24"W walnut nightstands (Poly and Bark Marla) that are anchored on a 9x12 (Safavieh Wyndham WYD722A), that creates a nested, comfy space... I think. Our walls throughout are SW Big Chill (which we are open to eventually painting- possibly cheviot?), and the flooring is Solidity/Happy Floors Chinchilla LVP that can pull cool or sometimes a smidge warm.

However, on the opposite side of the bed, we have massively long wall (20') that is sitting completely naked. We are in desperate need of a dresser/ storage and I am lost as to what size and wood/ material to use. The room was designed to have the bed under the horizontal window, so moving the bed probably isn't an option.

I've marked out common sizes (60"W, 72"W, and 84"W and 34"H) but am at a loss for what would functionally work best. Scale is tough for me in this space as our ceilings are 10'. Smaller and add a chair? Larger and forego seating? Would a bench at the end of the bed cause the area to be too cramped?

What about wood pairings for the dresser? I am concerned if we add more walnut the room will begin to feel cramped and heavy- which I need to avoid. I know oak can complement walnut, but what tone? I am shopping online only and am terrified of getting something too grey, too yellow, too ... yuck.

Function and flow are absolute musts. We want to be able to walk in our room and have it be a haven and provide respite rather than a standard room with few pieces of furniture or in a cave.

I'd appreciate any and all help! TIA

Want it to be comfy, but also hold its shape well & be easily wiped down. I don’t think I’m ready to pull the trigger on a Lovesac until the kids are older. Would welcome any recommendations!
