Sure, an armchair can double as a bedside table, too. Adding a comfy bright-coloured cushion to the armchair is the trick to creating that inviting ambiance for a book and a couple glasses of wine before bedtime!

Who would know that the industrial look of an old metal bin would go so well with the soft look of bedroom linens? The grey tone and the imperfections of the metal bin actually add a romantic touch to the bedroom decoration!

Feeling up for some woodwork? Two boxes, one above the other, make a perfect beside table alternative. The “drawer” version makes it possible to place objects inside for privacy and organization. The “shelf” version allows storage for cups and books. Both versions free up the floor for small spaces!
