Hooker Furniture Bedroom Transcend Nightstand
Posh and handy nightstands are functional as well as decorative must-own pieces. It becomes easier to create a theme if you have a lovely nightstand to begin with. The first step is to use this furniture as a decorative element. It should be the perfect companion to the other functional pieces of furniture in the room. The nightstand is often used to hold lamps and bedside clocks but these aren’t the only items that can be placed on it.
How to Use the Nightstand
Begin decorating your bedroom by keeping the nightstand right beside your bed. Doing this will make it easier to access the clock, book or lamp that is placed there. Make sure also that it is snuggled against the wall in order to keep things from falling off the back of this decorative table.
Next, make sure that you always add a lamp and a clock. Place the lighting piece near the head of the bed. This position maximizes your reaching ability which is handy especially when you need some light in the middle of the night.
The alarm clock, on the other hand, is there to rouse you to wake up during the morning. Place this at the right distance so that you are only able to reach it when you sit up. This will prevent you from hitting on snooze many times before you get up.
Add a phone, too. This should be close to the lamp so that the numbers are still visible. Always place the base of the landline phone on top of your nightstand. It is also a wonderful idea to keep a cell phone charger nearby.
You can also use the nightstand to decorate your bedroom further. Personalize your room by adding some framed photos, flowers in vases, and some accent pieces on the nightstand. The merrier the photos are, the better. Have the vacation photos placed all around the lamp. Even souvenirs from your last beach expedition such as some seashells are also a great addition on your nightstand.
Now make sure that you also use the drawers of your nightstands. At night, empty your pockets into a tray right on top of your decorative nightstand. Most nightstands come with mini drawers so you can place some miscellaneous items in there.

Correct Nightstand Shopping
When you’ve decided to buy a nightstand or two, there are also some questions that you need to answer before you go out and shop. First, find out your bedroom space requirements. It would be best to keep the nightstand at a size that leaves ample room for other design elements. It shouldn’t be too big, too high, too low, too wide or too many.
When it comes to height, know that the perfect one is at the same level as the top of your mattress. This will provide an even visual across the bed.
If you love to read books before dozing off at night, then make sure to have a lighting source on your nightstand. It doesn’t have to be a posh lamp, it can be as simple as a reading light.
If you are shopping for a smaller room, then the nightstand should be small enough to fit right next to your bed. A narrow table takes up but little room yet if it has some shelves, then it even adds extra storage to other bedroom items.
Minimalists prefer to have the platform right around their bed serve as a place to serve a drink, place novels, or place electronic gadgets.
Whether or not the nightstand matches the bed is up to you. More than matching pieces, you should be more worried about balance. Two nightstands could have different sizes and colors but they can still offer a collected look if you know how to visually link one to the other.
