A new wardrobe

I've recently moved into a new apartment in the city, a much smaller studio than my previous two bedroom/two bath sprawling UWS place.
It's necessitated me downsizing, a lot of furniture that I had will not fit. So I had to bring the spillover out to the house with the plan of selling it off on Craigslist. There was one piece that I did want to keep though, a large old wardrobe. It's got lots of deep drawers and the hanging clothes half will hold a lot of stuff too (I separately need the closet space).
But here's the problem: I can't decide if I need to paint it. See, it's a dark wood stain and I want to put it in the bedroom, the only place I have room for it. But everything in that bedroom is either black or white. It replaced that white china cabinet that I turned into a desk. I gave it back to the friend who first gave it to me 17 years ago!
But back to the color: What to do?
My first inclination was to paint it white. A friend is telling me to go with a deep dark black stain. I like that idea but I'm worried that it might look like a big hulking monolith in that bright, light room. To some degree it's already that, but would black make it worse.
I think I need to cogitate on it a bit more.
Watch this space...

PS: that top left door is missing the mirror that goes there. It's still in the city, I'll bring it out next time I'm back.
