One bedroom - 4 different nightstands

Finding the perfect nightstand can be difficult sometimes. There are a lot to choose from, but to be honest I don´t think there are so many nice ones out there. Therefore I thought; do we need to use a nightstand as a nightstand? With that in mind a lot of options came up, and here I have 4 ideas for you...


If you are looking for an industrial look, this office drawer unit (borrowed from my fiance's office) from Ikea could be a good and affordable choice.


If you want more of a simple look, you can use a stool or a chair like this. Here I have used an antique stool from China, that I´ve bought at Bolina this summer. I love how the wooden hue adds warmth to the cold black and white.


This one I showed you on Friday. Here you have lots of room for your books or whatever.. This Alex drawer unit is also intended for the office, but I really like how it looks in the bedroom as well. My favorite!


This unit from Kartell is actually used a lot as a nightstand, and you have probably seen it in a lot of interior magazines and blogs. Componibili modules have been in production for more than thirty years and have received much recognition for their pre-eminent and innovative design.

Another very affordable nightstand would be using magazines like I did this summer.


Many of you have asked me where my wonderful Cross Blanket is from. It´s from Pia Wallén, and I bought it at Story North.

What kind of nightstand do you have? And which one of these ideas above do you like the most?

  1. These all look fantastic - for pure style I love the antique stool but for practicality and style I vote for your favourite! It's wonderful to see how a simple piece of furniture and a few accessories can change the look of a space so easily!

  2. I love the simplicity of the second with the texture that the wooden stool brings.

  3. What a beautiful post. Nice to see how different nightstands can create another bedroom And not expensive at all, with the cabinets of Ikea. My favorite is the first picture, but maybe that's also because my favorite chair is in it :) Thanks!

    Love,
    Suus

  4. Så lekkert! Det er virkelig småting som gjør forskjell :) Du er så flink! Ikke like flink å kommentere for tiden, grunnet liten tid :) Men jeg titter stadig innom deg! :)

    Ha en fin dag!

  6. Fint, fint, fint og fint!! Fantastiske muligheter alle 4, og hos deg ser det hele bare så fint ud :) Kjempebra innlegg og fine tips. Vi har et par gamle stoler som nattbord, men det er ikke så kjempepraktisk, så jeg tror jeg må begynne å vurdere et alternativ... Har det akkurat som deg, at jeg ikke synes utvalget af nattbord er så inspirerende - så det er lurt å tenke på andre muligheter.

    Og nydelig styling på alle fire bildene :) Og har akkurat vært inne å sjekke ut Trendz - ser helt supert ut!!!!

  7. I love them all, but i prefer the third picture. Like your styling and i think the light wood makes the room very soft and cozy!!

    Great post!

  8. Fine alternativer du viser! Jeg er veldig fornøyd med våre Componibili-nattbord. Enkle og greie.

  9. My fave is the second one, with the stool. I think nightstands tend to have too much stuff on/in them, thus not helping with the relaxation and getting to sleep.

  10. Hei Nina, syntes det var flere fine her:)
    Prøver å finne nye hjemme, det er utrolig vanskelig å finne den perfekte.

  12. Nice pictures! I use the Lack wall shelf unit from Ikea as a night stand, it has my alarm clock, a pile of books and a wooden bowl for my jewelry. http://pinterest.com/pin/202239839486719271/

  13. I love the one with the wooden stool! I am a fan of natural elements in decor :)

  14. Finding the perfect night stand is so hard! I've been looking for one for ages, but they are all (in my opinion) a bit too big and bulky. I don't need a lot of storage space next to my bed, just a simple stand would do just fine. It's also hard to find one that is the perfect hight, not too tall or too short (low). My search continues! :-)

  16. Kul idé til innlegg, og fine løsninger alle sammen!
    Tror likevel jeg holder en knapp på den første :)

    Og her har vi enda en eplekasse og et gammelt retronattbord. Det har ikke kommet øverst på prioriteringslista enda, men en vakker dag så skal vi vel få orden på det også :)

    Ha en fin ny uke!

  18. Veldig kule alle sammen, med min favoritt er nok nr 1:)

  19. I like how you have styled them all - my favourite would have to be the rustic stool - though the least practical. I always have quite a few things on my nightstand - books, reading glasses, water glass...

  26. Hej, jag upptäckte dig via Trendenser - och vilken fantastiskt fin blogg du har! Tack för all inspiration!! Jag lånade din bild med IKEA hurtsen, jag hoppas det är okej, har länkat den tillbaka till din blogg och skrivit att det är du som tagit den fina bilden!

    Tror även att just det "sängbordet" blir perfekt hemma hos mig!

    Vänliga Hälsningar
