Nightstand Styling Tips From Emily Henderson
When it comes to decorating the perfect boudoir, attention to detail is key. Even if you've followed the most stylish bedroom layout guide, you could still be missing the finishing touches that really make or break a room. You might have the most iconic furniture and coveted vintage décor, but without a few throw pillows or chic lighting, your room can quickly fall flat. In addition to proportion, wall décor, paint colors, and tabletop accessories, the nightstand plays an important role in completing the overall design of a bedroom.
In this video, Henderson walks us through her simple five-step process, proving that inimitable style does come easy—at least when you know what you're doing. Think medium-size table lamps, a small piece of art for a pop of color, a tray or decorative plate, and a personal item. With this design formula in mind, you can create a nightstand with items you already have. Watch it below and see for yourself!

Caution: We're about to make a shocking statement. Burl wood exudes a caramely warmth and goodness that look even better than a Cinnabon tastes. Yes, this nightstand is that good.
If you want to add an element of intrigue without bringing in a pop color, you can get creative with silhouette. This shapely lamp does just the trick.
We wouldn't typically include two dessert metaphors in a row, but hey… This triple-tiered cake (oops, nightstand) made it too easy. Layer your items as you please!
