Three Unique Ideas on Styling Your Bedside Table

Bedside tables are more than just a place to charge your phone or rest your cuppa tea. They can enhance the look of your entire bedroom! Here are three unique styling ideas you won’t want to miss out on.

When it comes to styling your bedside tables, do you give it a second thought? Even the most décor-savvy people fall victim to the stack of magazines-box of tissue-cuppa tea-look.

The good news is it doesn’t take much effort to style and organize your bedside tables, and it completely changes the look and feel of your bedroom!

Here are a few ideas we know you’ll love.

Bedside Table Styling Idea #1: Balanced Bedside

Creating a balanced look with your bedside tables is a quick and easy way to make your bedroom appear clean, organized and streamlined.

First, choose a set of matching bedside tables that speak to you.

We love the Drake 2-Drawer Night Table in Black because of its deep neutral color that seamlessly fits into any space and gorgeous mirrored fronts that command attention; an ideal choice for designing a balanced bedside.

To achieve this look, start with identical bedside lamps.

Although we’re creating balance, it’s still important to play with shape. And since the Drake 2-Drawer Night Table has square lines, lamps with curved bases add a touch of visual interest to your bedroom, allowing both pieces to stand on their own and make a statement.

Whichever accessories you choose to display on each bedside table, make sure they are similar in height and size to create a symmetrical feel. For a sophisticated look, try a set of three books on each table with a candle atop each stack.

All those little extras like your phone, magazines and chapstick? Toss them in the spacious drawers of the Drake 2-Drawer Night Table and let your balanced bedside shine.

Bedside Table Styling Idea #2: Eclectic Accessories

If you’re bold, playing with eclectic accessories on your nightstand is fun and exciting. But there is one condition: Going all out with your bedside accessories means going more neutral with your bedding and bedside tables.

The Aggio 2-Drawer Night Table in Natural Acacia is a great choice for those looking to play with vibrant accessories. Its sleek handcrafted wood is subtle, making it the perfect landing zone for various statement pieces without having to compete.

This is where odd clusters make sense. Think: One lamp, a bouquet, your favorite perfume and an interesting chrome sculpture to tie in with the gorgeous chrome handles of the Aggio Night Table.

Try to vary your bedside accessories from hard, straight edges to round, more organic items. Variety makes things interesting and lets you express your creative side.

Throw the rules out the window and let your eye do the styling.

Bedside Table Styling Idea #3: Make It Mismatched

We’ve already seen the trend of mixed dining chairs hit the décor scene (link to blog) and now it’s time to take that same attitude into the bedroom.

To achieve mismatched perfection, start by choosing a traditional bedside table like the South Beach 2-Drawer Night Table in Weathered Oak.

Its gorgeous oak finish is beautiful without stealing the spotlight, creating balance and giving you endless options for your second bedside table.

Mixing elements is the key to mismatching perfection. If your first bedside table is wood, your second bedside table might consist of a different material like metal or Lucite.

Play up your two chosen elements by choosing bedside accessories that coincide. For example, place Lucite accessories on your wooden table, and wooden accessories on your Lucite table.

Allowing your accessories to intermingle ties the mismatched look together without clashing or looking messy.

We love this look from Centsationalgirl.com proving that two styles can marry perfectly by finding symmetry in bedside lamps and gorgeous mirrors.

Do you dare to ditch the clutter and try something new with your bedside tables? We promise it will take your bedroom to a whole new décor-savvy level.
