DIY Floating Nightstands That'll Upgrade Your Bedroom in a Snap

A bed is always the most central piece of a bedroom's design, but what's a bed without a nightstand or two next to it? They anchor the bed in style and add practicality with a surface for a light and other essentials to keep within arm's reach. While you could go with a traditional one, a floating nightstand adds a fun modern flair while also saving space, no legs necessary. Instead, a small wall mount, bracket, or even a piece of pipe hold it in place, making it pretty simple to DIY your own.

So as you consider what color to paint your bedroom walls and what chairs you might place in the room, perhaps a floating nightstand will also be ideal for a tight squeeze alongside your bed, to give space underneath for a basket on the floor instead of drawers to open, or just to add a fun design element. If you’re have power tools, nails, and screws on hand, you're sure to find inspiration for your new DIY floating nightstand in this list, and it will take you straight to step-by-step how-tos to take your nightstand from dream to reality.
