Nightstand or Small Table by the Bed
Give guests a landing spot for phones, glasses, and water.
Why it matters
Without a table, guests improvise with floors or windowsills, risking spills.
Nightstands finish the room and support bedtime routines.
How to implement it
- Place a nightstand on each side of the bed whenever space allows.
- Add a drawer or tray for earplugs, chargers, and personal items.
- Secure furniture pads underneath to protect flooring.
Checklist
Ensure each bed has a stable surface within reach
FAQ
Use floating shelves or slim wall-mounted ledges so guests still have a landing spot without crowding the bed.
Stick to essentials like a lamp, coaster, and maybe a small plant—leave enough open space for phones, glasses, or a water carafe.
