There’s no denying that traditional, bulky and unfashionable nightstands are no longer a bedside favourite. But with the advent of the recycling/upcycling trend, the side-table has made a comeback! Upcycling everyday objects or creating a piece from scratch are great and original ways to personalize your bedroom on a small budget. From hanging swing shelves, to vintage trunks, concrete blocks, wooden crates or even a stepping stool, side-tables can be a decoration asset as well as being practical. So go ahead! Reinvent your rental’s nightstand by upcycling furniture; travellers will appreciate not only its originality but also its functionality; perfect for placing a phone, book, pair of glasses, water or anything else for that matter. Here are 23 creative bedside tables to inspire you…
