When we say pretty blooms, we think of fresh flowers. Yes, no matter if it’s just one stem or a bunch they should be present on your bedside table. They will bring a nice organic touch to the bedroom and a bit of meaningful color to your nightstand. Have in mind opting for a delicate plant or sculptural succulent instead.

A beautiful small lamp will do the work here. It is a simple way to add a bit of design flair to your bedside table. If the table is a small one you should look for a sleek style that won’t take up a lot of room, and if the table is a modern hard-egged style then try to balance with a shapely lamp design.
3. All Shapes and Sizes
Start using different objects such as vases, perfume bottles, and trinkets in varying sizes, shapes and heights, If you choose to group three work best and stacked books it will be perfect for dding height if needed.
4. Layer Upon Layer
Forget about not experimenting and being afraid of overlapping items. Do it! For example, position the lamp to partly cover an artwork or place smaller item in front of a larger one that will provide character to your arrangement.
