"Don't you love a simple fix that can make a huge difference in your space? If your bedroom isn't looking as sleek as you'd hope, it might be less about aesthetics - and more about the details you're overlooking. According to one interior designer, oftentimes your nightstand is the culprit. Why? A particular style may look beautiful in theory, but practice shows it often creates an eyesore you may be blissfully ignorant of. But this simple switch could make your space look that much more curated and thoughtfully designed - all in a snap."
""I've designed a lot of bedrooms recently, and I'm going to share my top tips," shares Carina Harford, a London-based interior designer behind @harford_house on Instagram, in a recent video. "Always go for a vintage bedside table. You will be so much happier and you want one with storage and you want it to come solidly down to the ground.""
"Carina describes nightstands with legs as "your nemesis" because all your unsightly lamp cords and charger cables are on full display between the rear of the tabletop and the wall. "I'm not going to enjoy it, you're not going to enjoy it," she said. "Don't do it." Instead, Carina suggests finding a nightstand that has storage from top to bottom, with no open spaces against your bedroom's wall. She notes that shopping for antique finds and secondhand models is a great place to start, but you can also find new pieces on sites like Wayfair that fit the bill."
Nightstands with raised legs expose lamp cords and charger cables between the tabletop and the wall, creating visible clutter and an eyesore. Selecting bedside tables that come solidly to the floor with enclosed storage from top to bottom conceals electronics and cables, producing a cleaner, more curated look. Vintage, antique, and secondhand pieces often provide full-height storage, while many new retailers also offer solid bedside chests. Oversized, solid nightstands can double as extra clothing storage in smaller bedrooms and reduce visual chaos by eliminating open space against the wall.
