Dear Karen,
I am on the fence should I use matching nightstands or not. I read everywhere that matching is not in, but I do like a more symmetrical look.

It is preference really, what is not really in is a matching bedroom suite. Varying up your bed and nightstands is more important than not having matching nightstands.
Here are a few examples of how to mix things up with bedroom furniture.
Keeping the symmetry with the same style table but mixing up the finishes is great way to create a more designed statement
Soft fabrics and mixes of metals and woods break up the more traditional matching set of furniture in a bedroom and add great visual appeal
If you want a more modern and clean look to a bedroom why not have the nightstands and a few other pieces be the same color, then your headboard bedding and drapery tie together too. It’s more about pulling it all together than having it all the same.
If you are wanting to mix it up, keep the nightstand in the same finish but give them a different shape. This will create balance.
Happy Decorating!
Karen
