Bar cart 

A bar cart is an affordable option for a bedside table while providing plenty of storage space. Keep your favorite book within arm’s reach, and flatter the vignette with a fresh plant.

Minimalist shelf

Having a small bedroom doesn’t mean that you should omit a bedside table. Mounting a floating shelf is a clever trick that works perfectly for tiny spaces. Add a clamp lamp to leave plenty of free space for your bedtime essentials.

A wooden shelf brings a rustic vibe, while it doesn’t take any floor space. For additional storage, add a charming woven basket that doubles as decor.

Side table in the bedroom

A small side table is an excellent alternative to a bedside table if you wish to avoid the visually heavy look. Knowing that the surface will likely be small, opt for a wall-mounted or floor lamp.

If you can’t find a pair of bedside tables, use two complementary nightstands. The woven side table and wooden nightstand l this rustic bedroom, unexpectedly bringing the eclectic feel. The natural texture is the common characteristic that creates a harmonious combination.
