3 Ways to Decorate Your Nightstand to Make It Trendy AF
If your bedside table is still buried under last year’s reading list, remnants of holiday candy and a tangle of phone chargers, it’s time to give that little table a much-needed refresh. With just a few styling tricks, your nightstand can be instantly transformed into a chic focal point that reflects your design aesthetic and bedtime needs. This week’s edition of Decor Resolutions will show you how to style your nightstand, whether you’re going for a boho-chic vibe, a minimalist look or a preppy style.
HOW TO DECORATE A BOHO-CHIC NIGHTSTAND
Seize the day and transform your space into a good-vibes-only pastel paradise. Beat away those winter blues with a cheery color palette: Think soft pinks, pops of yellow and lots of gold and brass. Purify the air in your bedroom with a cool salt lamp and make sure you’re keeping up with those hydration goals with a handy plastic water bottle. Keep a notebook and pens on hand for late-night brainstorms and meditative journaling sessions.
