If there’s one piece of bedroom furniture everyone needs, it’s a nightstand. This bedside furniture piece may seem like nothing more than a table, but it serves an abundance of purpose from day to night.

A bedroom nightstand can be a charging station for your tech gadgets, a makeshift library for your favorite nightly reads, a storage compartment for your remotes and so much more. It’s a little nook within your room that says a lot about who you are. As such, your nightstand table deserves to look fabulous. Here are some unique bedroom ideas that keep the practicality within your bedroom nightstand, while also enhancing the aesthetics of your bedroom design.

Make the Wall Part of the Nightstand

The bedroom is inarguably one of the most important rooms in your home. It’s where you start your day and where you call it a day before catching some shuteye. Therefore, it deserves to have some personality. However, there’s nothing chic about a cluttered bedroom nightstand and too many distractions can actually interrupt your beauty rest. So, instead of piling personality onto the limited surface space, extend your nightstand aesthetics up the wall.  There are all kinds of bedroom décor such as hanging décor items, photos and art that can be removed from the surface of your nightstand, and hung up on the wall. It’ll emphasize the appeal of this little area that you call your own, and it’ll allow you to embrace a clutter and distraction-free appeal.

Stage to Perfection

With a quick swipe through Instagram, you’ll see that the aesthetics of a bedroom design have a lot to do with the staging of décor. You can essentially have whatever you want on your bedroom nightstand, as long as you learn how to place it perfectly to keep the look chic instead of looking cluttered. All it takes is a little experimenting with the different positions of your nightstand décor. Rearrange your books and magazines from big to small, position décor elements so that nothing is hidden by clutter, and match different color schemes and textures. Staging to perfection is really that simple.

Take Advantage of the Floor

If you take a look at your bedroom nightstand, you’ll see a few small slices of what look like unusable space. It’s the areas between your nightstand and wall, and nightstand and floor that are rarely taken advantage of. However, these little areas can help clear off the clutter from the surface of your nightstand, while also adding a spark of chic personality into your bedroom design. Start by removing the table lamp, and replacing it with a floor lamp where the base can fit behind and underneath the nightstand, or a lamp that is hung on the wall. It’ll give you more viable space, while also taking advantage of areas that were otherwise deemed unusable.

A Breath of Fresh Air

A touch of greenery can be the ultimate way to spruce up your bedroom as a whole. Cacti are a popular trend within interior design, and they require very little maintenance while still giving you the fresh air and stunning bedroom appeal of other plants. However, flowers can also be an excellent touch that has the added benefit of emitting a sweet aroma. Whatever kind of plant you like, it’ll be sure to give you and your entire bedroom design a breath of fresh air.

Your bedroom nightstand may seem like nothing more than a table. However, it’s a little slice of who you are. It’s there when you’re sick with a cold and need tissues and medicine close by, when you’re in the mood for some reading, or when you need to recharge your tech gadgets. So, treat your nightstand to a bit of revitalization with these unique bedroom ideas.
