Your nightstand is more than just a place to stash your phone or a glass of water – It’s a personal space that can reflect your style while providing functionality. With a few thoughtful touches, you can turn this small piece of furniture into a stylish and practical feature in your bedroom.

Today on the blog, our interior designers at Guided Home Design share some of their favorite nightstand styling tips.

01

Add Lighting

Ambient lighting is essential in every bedroom to create a cozy, relaxing space. Whether you prefer a classic table lamp or a modern wall sconce, make sure the lighting complements your room's aesthetic. A well-chosen light fixture not only provides the necessary illumination for nighttime reading but also serves as a statement piece that adds character to your space. Opt for warm, soft light to enhance the relaxing ambiance of your bedroom.

Our Torres Charging Nightstand is perfect for hiding cords and unwanted plugs. We styled this nightstand with a large stone table lamp.

Bring Nature In

Bringing a bit of nature into your nightstand setup can add life and freshness to the space. A small potted plant, a vase of fresh flowers, or even a sprig of greenery in a simple glass jar can breathe life into your bedroom. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or air plants that don’t require much care, and arrange them alongside your other items for a balanced look.

Add Greenery

Our Frida Nightstand is styledto perfection with lushy greenery in a black organic vase. 

03

Incorporate a Personal Touch

Your nightstand is a great place to showcase a bit of your personality. Adding a framed photo, a small piece of art, or a cherished knickknack can make the space feel uniquely yours. Choose items that bring you joy or have special meaning, a small sculpture, or a favorite book. These personal touches can transform your nightstand from a simple piece of furniture into a reflection of your style and memories.

Use a Variety of Heights
