Turning your bedroom furniture into a statement piece to portray the style of your room is easy to do. A single unique piece can add a lot of flare and character. That’s why one furnishing that is great to experiment with is your nightstands. Because they aren’t typically dominant furniture piece, it is the smaller option in comparison to a full-size dresser, wardrobe, or bedframe.
To get a cute farmhouse look for instance, you could have fun with it and pick up a thrifted or antique wood nightstand with a light-weathered finish, or you could go a minimalist route and find an artsy wood drum and repurpose that as a nightstand. There are tons of styles and finishes to get the exact look you’re aiming for. If you’re trying to gather some inspiration for unique nightstands to use within your bedroom, have a look through some of our design photos below and see if any of the ideas these decorators used intrigue you.
