How to upstyle your bedroom with bedside tables

I’m sure you’ll agree that we moms take our sleep – and our bedrooms – very personally. Don’t mess with our sanctuary! But, even though it is our safe space, I find that moms often tend to decorate their boudoir’s with practicality in mind (you know – do my bedside tables have drawers to store my secret stash of chocolate in… that sort of thing) But there are ways to upstyle your bedroom without breaking the bank. And yes, bedside tables can definitely help with that. (Or else my blog post title would be totally off).

The good ol’ nightstand can provide extra storage but a beautifully designed bedside table can also complement your room, making it look more put together.

Anyways, enough small talk. I want to show you a couple of gorgeous bedside tables that I spotted online and share some tips on how you can upstyle your bedroom using them.

Colour is important

When choosing bedside tables for your bedroom, make sure you are choosing pieces that complement the vibe and style of your bedroom. Knowing your bedroom’s colour palette will help a lot when shopping for a nightstand. Choosing hues that help to create a cohesive look will make the room look well put together. Or, if you want to be more daring, add an extra pop of colour to brighten up the room. See more here.

Size does matter

When deciding on furniture for your bedroom, you obviously would need to take the size of your space into consideration. A bulkier piece may make your room appear to be smaller. Scaling your night stand to the size of the room does not have to be difficult. Simply plan around the dimensions of the space and (very important) your bed and headboard. Don’t underestimate the impact of a shorter or smaller bedside table! Playing around with size (by adding varying heights, such as a tall vase or lamp) can also help to add some more dimension to your room. See more here.

Be risky

When choosing bedroom furniture, playing around with materials, such as wood and steel, can really help to create a look that is fresh and contemporary. Experiment with new styles and different materials if you want to drop the mundane and achieve the spectacular! Adding the right bedside lamp (because what is a bedside table without a lamp #amiright?) is important too. Whether you choose one that is rustic and chic, industrial and modern or luxurious and classy – your bedside lamp should highlight the beauty of your bedside table – and vice versa. See more here.

Space it out

I’ve already touched on the fact that size does matter when choosing furniture pieces for your bedroom. But I must add that paying special attention to the foot of your nightstand is important too (and it deserves its own point on this list). Table legs are important when it comes to design because they can create a bulkier look (needed in a spacious room) or a trimmer feel (for smaller areas). Curved legs, on a bedside table, add an interesting dimension. A wall-mounted floating nightstand is a clever use of space and can add that extra depth to a room.  See more here.
