Good interior design provides joy and I don't know about you, but one of my greatest joys is hopping into my bed at night and reading a good book, and, of course glancing at a beautifully styled bedside table!

Your bedside table should provide a calming, restful and happy vibe....like a little sanctuary next to your bed.

Make your bedside table pretty and practical by using my easy design tips:

feather art // lamp // flowers // sculptural object // bedside table

1. Art or Mirror

Decorate your vignette with a beautiful piece of art or a mirror above your bedside table

2. Pretty Objects

Add a few pretty things like framed photos, colorful flowers in a vase and sculptural objects

3. Storage

Store your personal items away from view in drawers or decorative boxes or baskets

4. Lighting

Select your lamp(s) or sconce(s) as if they are pieces of art themselves -- make sure they are visually interesting and artful in shape
