How To Style Your Nightstand

I’m sharing some tips on how to style your nightstand.

Last week I shared my master bedroom updated and received a few questions asking me what was on my nightstand. So I’m happy to share what I have on my nightstand! I think the nightstand is the most important piece of furniture in the room, besides the bed.

My nightstand holds important items to make me more comfortable. I also want my nightstand to be stylish, but functional with the essential items I use daily. Incase you missed my master bedroom update you can catch it here. https://houseofmar.com/how-to-update-the-master-bedroom-on-a-budget/

So let’s talk about how to style a nightstand.

To Style Your Nightstand Start With A Few Basic Essentials

Every nightstand needs a few basic essentials such as a lamp with good lighting

1.) A proper size bedside lamp with good lighting is essential.

The lamp should fit properly on the nightstand and at an adequate height for the bed. A nightstand usually sits at 24 to 30 inches in height, a lamp between 24 and 27 inches should work well. If the night stand is 30 inches or taller than a lamp for the nightstand could be about 36 inches in height.

If there is no room for a lamp on the nightstand then style the area with a wall lamp or sconce. The aesthetic of either are just as beautiful!

A good light bulb wattage for a nightstand lamp should be around 800 which is equivalent to a 60 watt traditional bulb. If you want a cozier bedroom use a soft white light bulb.

Reading with a dim light will cause eye strain so it’s important to have good bedside lighting.

Essentials for a nightstand

2.) An alarm clock may be an essential item for a nightstand. I chose one that I could see in the dark and it’s stylish as well.

3.) Winters are pretty dry in the Midwest it’s almost essential to run a cool mist. I’ve added a white porcelain cool mist decanter to my nightstand. It’s such a stylish diffuser and coordinates well with the decor of the room.

4.) Kleenex are essential for a nightstand

5.) Another item that could be essential to a nightstand is a sleep sound machine. These are great to have if you have trouble falling asleep. I have just a basic machine.

Stylish items for a nightstand

6.) A stylish item for the nightstand could be a candle that smell wonderful! I sometimes use a battery operative votive candle the glow still gives a cozy feel to the room.

7.) Flowers fresh or faux are so stylish and beautiful on a nightstand.

8.) If you have a small nightstand you could also style the wall behind the nightstand with a picture of flowers or a mirror. This will give the nightstand a polished look. Using items that are with in the scale of the nightstand and the room will give the area a poise look.

Items to add to a styled nightstand

There are so many great options to styling a nightstand but most important is what’s most important for you!

A few other items that may be essential for your nightstand.

These are items that could be essential to styling your nightstand

  • Kleenex box
  • Remote Control
  • Laptop
  • iPad or Reader
  • Ring Holder
  • Glasses

Larger items can be kept in the drawers of a nightstand or placed in a basket if there’s an open shelf.

Items you may want to keep in the drawer of the nightstand.

I keep books, extra reading glasses, iPods, cough drops, chap stick, and lotions in my nightstand drawers. It keeps the clutter to a minimum.
