Sure, it could simply house a lamp, an alarm clock, your phone charger and a book. But isn’t your bedside table worthy of a more elegant, relaxing vibe? The answer is yes!
The creative minds at thisisourbliss.com have broken down the art of nightstand styling into an easy-to-follow formula. With this recipe, creating a trendy oasis beside your bed can be quantified into a few simple items. Here’s what you’ll need and why:
- A wall hanging, whether it’s a piece of art, a mirror, or a picture hung just above the nightstand, you will add height. Thisisourbliss.com suggests even placing it slightly behind the lampshade of your table lamp for added visual interest.
- Leaning art, something framed, leaning against the wall or overlying the wall hanging above will add a backdrop to the other elements of your table.
- Your nightstand is probably not a nightstand without one. Place it closest to the bed for ease of reach, keeping in mind you need a larger lamp for a larger bedside table and vice versa.
- A stack of books, whether it’s something you’re reading currently or just for looks…
- Topped with flowers! Some fresh flowers on your nightstand add a touch of elegance, but fake work well too.
- A trinket dish to hold your rings and other small jewelry pieces you remove at bed time!
