What are your nightstand essentials? 

A pair of glasses, your phone (even though we all know that is better left charged in the kitchen for best sleep ;), a great book? Whatever comes to mind, we have a few things we think that every night stand should have.

Our Nightstand Essentials:

• A great lamp or wall sconce — pretty and practical!

• A plant or artwork to make you happy

• A dish that’s pretty but also tucks away little things, like daily vitamins or rings

When it comes to the nightstand itself, we always look for at least one drawer to hold essentials and things that you might want to tuck away.  We also want to make sure that the nightstand is the right height (even with your mattress or a few inches taller is ok too)!

One of the questions we get asked most is “Is it okay to have different nightstands on each side? We would even encourage you to mix it up! It makes it tailored to each side of the bed a bit.  However, if you want to keep both sides the same, we also recommend having the same light (lamp or sconce) on each side to maintain the balance.

The best thing about this area in your home is it’s your private space that you will use daily, so enjoy it and make it your own.
