Nightstand Styling

Nightstand styling can be tricky and often times people ignore this crucial part of your bedroom decor. We like nightstand styling that is stylish and functional. It should look beautiful but also house all the important things you need at arms length while in bed. Below we share our easy tips for styling a nightstand, which just takes a few simple steps (plus a lot of decluttering!)

Lighting

A lamp grounds the overall look of your nightstand and adds height. We love table lamps but sconces are also beautiful and can free up space if needed.

Storage

Think about your morning and nighttime routine, which will help you decide what type of storage you’ll need on your nightstand. We like trays, boxes and bowls, in addition to any drawers, to house your jewelry, glasses or other essential items you use often. They key is to choose one or two small storage pieces to keep your nightstand uncluttered.

Important Everyday Pieces

After lighting and storage, add items like an alarm clock, a candle or room diffuser, books or any item you use daily.

Decor

Finally it’s time to accessorize and style your nightstand! Add a plant or some greenery for colour. A family photo in a picture frame or a sentimental trinket is also nice. The idea is to keep it simple and uncluttered.
