Night Stands - designs and alternatives

I wrote about Bed frame inspirations earlier. This time around, I am here with my collection of different nightstand /bed side table options. Given the fact that we spend 1/3 of our day in the bedroom (assuming we sleep for 8 hours), a bedside table/nightstand could be more than a place to have a lamp, put your alarm clock or a pair of glasses. I collated a few night stand/ bed side tables from my inspirations folder.We could choose from a variety of styles with draws, shelves and doors or plain tables.

The first in line are clean line, Scandinavian style nightstands - with open shelves. These are sofa side tables which could also work well as bed side tables. Open shelves mean less clutter (in a way!)

Another very contemporary nightstand with metal legs and an open slot/shelf. I liked the way Kim used a tray which slides into the slot. One thing I would change - Use tables which are a bit taller than the ones Kim used
