Lights Out: 10 Simple Nightstands

18 May

We’re not sure if there’s any statistical information to back this up, but we’re fairly certain the nightstand is almost always the very last piece of furniture to be considered — much less procured — in any given renovation, redecoration or relocation in which old furnishings are switched out for new ones. Even though it’s the first inanimate thing we touch every morning to shut off the alarm and the last one we deal with each night to take off our glasses, sip one last glass of water or put down a book, it’s typically at the bottom of our priority list when we’re re-doing a bedroom or moving into a new one. So in honor of what we’re dubbing “the eleventh-hour piece,” here’s a roundup of ten simple nightstands with something for everyone, from the naturalist to the modernist. Sweet dreams!
