The perfect bedside table should fit the size of our bedroom and our habits, rituals and routines. Bedside tables are great for small bedrooms where we have little space to store our things. It might be a good idea to put a deep drawer or shelf in the bedside table, where you can fit books, newspapers, phone and our other trinkets and knick-knacks. Bedside cabinets usually serve multiple functions because they also serve as nightlight stands or a place to put a photograph or ornament.

The most popular option is to make the cabinet from MDF or wooden boards, they must be properly processed and protected. In the furniture store, it is also worth buying the legs on which the bedside table will be placed.

These are the elements to make the basic design of the nightstand, of course, the appearance and design depends on our creativity.
It is advisable to start screwing the cabinet together by cutting four boards, which will be the walls of the nightstand; their dimensions depend on how high the bed is. Then screw the connectors and legs to one of the boards, which will be the base. The legs do not have to be wooden and of the same color as the chosen boards. An interesting solution is to combine wood with metal or steel elements
When the base of the bedroom table is assembled, the next step is to join the remaining boards so that they form a square or rectangle with the base. This should be done using wood glue. The cabinet thus prepared should be left until the glue dries. The last step, which you can skip, is to paint the bedside table with the wood color of your choice
The look of a bedside table should be consistent with the style and atmosphere in which the bedroom is decorated. There are many interesting and simple solutions. You do not have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful and original furniture in your bedroom.

Just cover it with a board of an appropriate size, paint the whole thing in a color matching the interior, and then fix it at the height of the bed line. For lovers of nature and wood, a fantastic solution will be to set a piece of log in the bedroom of the appropriate height.
