Our nightstands are the first thing we see when we wake up and the last thing we see before we fall asleep. They hold everything from loose change to jewelry to phones and even our favorite books. And today, they’re taking center stage, as we show you how to style your nightstand to make its little corner of the bedroom feel intentional and pulled together. From coastal chic to minimal and modern, read on to see how to maximize your bedside…
1. Beachy Elegance
If you like to keep things airy and neutral in your bedroom, a nightstand in a lightweight material like wicker or rattan is a good option. Pair it with breezy accents like this glass lamp and a dreamy beach print for a soothing space to unwind. And if you need a little bedtime reading we love flipping through these books for some vacation inspiration.

2. Modern Minimalism
Calling all minimalists: this sleek bedside setup is ideal for anyone looking to add elegance, not clutter, to their bedroom. Keep things refined with a black and white palette, with just a touch of greenery for freshness. These sleek coffee table books add a bold graphic element to your bedroom décor while looking chic. The final touch? A statement-making print to tie everything together.

3. Retro Chic
Bring on the retro décor! We love pairing glamorous shots like this Bermuda print with pieces that are simple and sleek, yet still have lots of character. We kept things neutral with some beachy pampas grass and a sea glass vase, and added a little shine with this fun gold lamp. Remember to mix and match modern and vintage pieces to avoid your space looking dated.

4. Bedside Luxury
If you’re someone whose idea of a good night’s rest involves high thread count sheets and complete serenity, you’ll want to add a little extra luxury to your room with this mirrored nightstand. Add in a unique candle holder and a hefty fashion book to ground the arrangement, and finish things off with a little retro glamour in the form of this fun print.

5. Playful Pops of Color
Keep things playful with a subtle hint of rainbow in this otherwise neutral print. While we love bold pops of color, for your bedroom you’ll want to balance them out with more subdued hues, like this sandy lamp or a sleek white nightstand. Build your own colorful book stack and add in a few plants to bring in a final pop of color.
