The bedroom is a space where we relax and unwind from the pressures of our day, and although you ought to be able to turn off all your thoughts, it should still inspire. We have five innovative bedside table ideas that will have you drifting off into stylised heaven.

Floating Dreams
Innovative shelves that don’t compromise style or space are a hot new trend. DIY and utilise a great assortment of storage cubes (found at Target and Ikea) that can be mounted to walls and really compliment the current Scandinavian style trend, maximising even the smallest area very efficiently.

Dressing up your Nightstand
Night stands are tricky especially in a small space, but if you have a large area to work with, then dressers are a great statement piece that add real wow factor and volume to your innermost sanctuary. If it’s shabby chic, old world glamour, or uptown funk you are looking for, then dresser draws cater to those needs. DIY an old chest of draws or invest in a heavy wooden piece to create a luxurious peaceful domain to refuel the soul.
