"The other day, after admiring Margot's feature on the excellent Tuba Club in Marseille (see Tuba Club: Marseille's On-the-Rocks Hideout), we were looking at some outtake photos together. Of the many guest room details to admire, one jumped out: fold-up, fold-down nightstands that reminded us of a ship's cabin-perfect for any small room, and not too tricky to replicate at home. (A particular plus: Navigating a narrow space while tucking into bed, "you wouldn't bang into the nightstand," said Margot.) Have a look:"
"Above: A look at the clever nightstand: It's suspended from thin ropes so that it can hang down-or stow away when not in use, not unlike a tray table on a plane. (Note the wooden latch up top.) Above: The nightstands in another guest room. All you need to give it a try: a plank of wood in a finish of your choice (and a small block or bracket underneath to help support it), two lengths of rope. and a wooden latch (often called a "turn button" or "turn button catch")."
Fold-up, fold-down nightstands hang from thin ropes and can stow away when not in use, creating a ship-cabin–style, space-saving bedside option. A wooden latch or "turn button" secures the table when deployed. The suspended design functions like a plane tray table and prevents bumping into a nightstand when navigating a narrow space. Construction requires a plank of wood in a chosen finish, a small block or bracket for support, two lengths of rope, and a wooden latch. The assembly is straightforward and well suited to compact guest rooms or small bedrooms.
