Styling 101: The Nightstand

Accessories are one of the most important parts of the design process. They complete the overall look of a space and add the fine little details we all love so much. Your bedroom nightstand should be no exception to receiving fabulous accessories. Yours may currently have a lamp, stacks of books and an alarm clock (that's what mine looks like and there's nothing pretty about it!). While that might be functional, you may want to consider sprucing things up a bit. There are 3 key elements to consider when accessorizing a nightstand: The Lamp - make sure it has a beautiful base and shade OR mount a sconce to the wall. The Accessories - use frames, a tray, beautiful vases, objects, books...things you love. The Wall - don't forget the wall space above your night stand. It's a great opportunity to hang a vertical mirror, small piece of artwork, etc. Today I've rounded up several photos of different ways to inspire your nightstand make-over (or maybe the one in your guest bedroom). What other ideas do you love when it comes to accessorizing the nightstand?
