The way I style my night stand switches up from time to time. One of my favorite things to do, interior wise, is creating little corners and pretending my home is a boutique. As you could tell from the recent peek in to my apartment. I like displaying my art and things that mean something or that simply make me smile because they’re pretty, such as a fresh flower. My night stand styling almost always includes:
1. A single flower. Because I think every room needs something green. A single flower is a bit more elegant and I don’t need a bunch of color next to my head when I’m sleeping.
2. A scented candle that I never light. Because I want it to give off a very subtle fragrance. This one is Jo Malone
3. A fun way to store my daily jewelry. It could be on little trays, in a glass box or, as right now, on a palmistry hand. I think I got this one at Urban Outfitters. Hay sells a pretty wooden one that I have as well.
4. A framed card or photo. I have prints and quotes all over my house. Some taped to the wall with Japanese washi tape (which is made of paper. You can write on it and it comes off your wall easily). Others prints are framed but standing on the floor. This is a Marilyn Monroe photo that I picked up for a really good deal at a tiny bookstore having it’s closing sale. It’s sad that stores like that, packed with old prints and books, don’t survive today. I made it my mission to purchase everything I could to support.
5. And then some. Other elements, like the perfume bottle and Chanel cream are on there now simply because I think they look pretty (oops, I’m a superficial night stand styler!). The initials mug is by Playtype - an incredibly awesome and pretty affordable typographic art shop. The metal tray is vintage, I picked it up at one of my favorite vintage industrial stores called Harvest & Co.
What does your night stand look like, is it totally clean or do you like to style little corners too?

Mooi gedaan!
I absolutely loved this post! You and your team have such a great sense of what the This Chick’s Got Style readers want. Kudos!
My partner and I have definitely neglected our bedroom in terms of styling, despite having built the house many years ago. We’re currently building a new house, and I absolutely can not wait to start fresh with our interiors and really make it ‘ours’, now that we have a little more money to splurge on those little pieces that truly make a house a home.

This is really lovely, but now the question is: Where did you get that beautiful nightstand?
I got it at a store in Amsterdam that I believe is called Dotshop at the Haarlemmerstraat. They might sell these online, I think they retailed for around 40-50 euros so that’s good!
so perfect! and awesome post! :)
Love it!

I’ve had the same things on my nightstand for years. This gives me a little inspiration to do something else. I love it.

Hi Yara!
I’m a huge fan of yours from Spain, and interior design makes me crazy. I love to stuff my room little by little in that way too. It makes rooms feel so much more cozy and just love how you do it
Lots of Love!
Hi Nieves, thanks for your sweet comment!
Looks good! I recently moved and haven’t got a nightstand yet…wanted to use and old bar-chair as a nightstand, but still looking for the right one and some more inspiration:)
Ziet er heel mooi uit!
Oh wat een geweldige nightstand. Hele leuke spulletjes allemaal!

I like that hand by Urban Outfitters… but why you need makeup brushes on the night stand?
Wow that looks really nice! I have almost nothing on my nightstand, I have mostly lamps on it and some cremes
Wat een mooie styling én foto!!
