Conclusion
A stool is also another creative nightstand idea, but it depends on your styling journey. If your budget is small and you’re at the beginning of your home decorating journey, then a stool may well be an excellent choice. However, if you’re in a different place like me, where you’ve seen it all and tried most, then a stool may not make the cut.
Personally, I want to resort to solutions that will serve me best in the long-run. That’s why I picked those above, for I know that they fit the bill. But remember, your home – your take!
Lastly, if you think that you have a really small space, then have a look at these night stand alternatives. However, these 20 modern nightstands are up my street, proving that a nightstand is a lot more than a piece of furniture for holding a glass of water.
Great ideas!
