Your nightstand is one of the ultimate comfort spots in your home. It holds the few carefully chosen things you deem essential as you go to sleep and once you’re awake.
In other words, your nightstand has you covered at your most vulnerable. As the object serves such an important role, it ought to be designed and decorated with care.
Check out the below ideas for inspiration.
1. Part of a Set
Floating nightstands must be attached to something, as we know. Some are attached to the wall, some are a part of the bed frame, while some are even more unique.
The above-floating nightstand is attached to the pretty blue wardrobe, of all things. Consider this type of design if you’re after something different.
2. 2 for 1
Given what a comfortable fit many floating nightstands are, you may pretty much combine them however you like.
If you’re dealing with a really small room, then there’s no reason you couldn’t have your floating nightstand extended into a desk and save plenty of space.
3. Open Storage
You could have your floating nightstands with a drawer, with a small sliding door and, of course, you could just leave them open.
That way they continue to provide additional storage, but also allow you to show off your favorite trinkets and decorate your bedside.
4. Contemporary Design
Contemporary means clean lines and a shiny surface, so look for such designs for the floating nightstand of your dreams.
5. Dainty Drawer
The beauty of this dainty floating nightstand is that although super tiny, it still serves two very important roles at the bedside.
It’s got a closed drawer in which you may store your essentials, while the top as tiny as it is can fit your phone as it charges and a glass of water.
6. Velour Backdrop
If your floating nightstand is extra minimalistic and you would like it to have some memorable dimension consider its backdrop.
The dynamic, creased velour backdrop in the above picture is the ideal background for the subtle nightstand.
7. Add Levels to It
For a richer design and additional storage, consider getting a floating nightstand with one or two levels.
8. Play With Lights
Make clever use of LED tape to upscale your floating nightstand.
These tapes are a very popular addition to many storage units, so make sure to check out what it looks like paired with your nightstand.
9. Luxury Material
By far, wood is the most popular material for nightstands, floating or not. Upscale the design of your bedside by choosing a luxury material instead.
A nightstand made of marble, for instance, possesses recognizable shine and sleekness which make this stone so beloved in furniture design all around.
10. Part of the Bedframe
Many modern bedframes come with included nightstands. Seek bedframes that come with floating nightstands for an extra modern and elevated look.
11. Minimalist Design
Floating nightstands allow for a clean aesthetic in your bedroom, so to promote it, choose minimalist nightstands to have at your bedside.
Keep it white, beige, or gray for the best results.
12. All-Round Nightstand
Complete uniformity of bedroom sets, much like the kitchen, is quite popular at the moment.
There is something so pleasing about every little piece of your bedroom belonging to a matching set. Look for sets that include extended floating nightstands to achieve a similar effect in your bedroom.
13. Think of the Color Combo
The vast majority of nightstands of any kind tend to be made in a single color. Be it dark or light wood, PVC, or stone, it’s commonly just one of those.
However, if you’d like to switch it up a little, make the tabletop of your floating nightstand a different color/material to the bottom.
14. DIY Nightstand
There’s something so cozy and romantic about DIY nightstands.
Get some rope, some screws to hold it all together, and a small plank, and there you have it. These kinds of designs are especially lovely in boho and eclectic bedrooms.
15. Metallic Design
To provide your bedside with some art deco edge, make sure to choose a metallic floating nightstand.
Black and gray shades are by far the best choice if you’re after this style.
16. Bedside Bookshelf
Get yourself a floating nightstand with larger open storage that can fit your books, jewelry, or a sculpture or two.
In Conclusion
Though there are many options when it comes to regular nightstands, if you’re after the sleek, modern vibe, you’d benefit far more from a floating one.
They’re space-saving and highly functional and they make the room appear carefully customized.
