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

Why buy a nightstand when you can make your own?

Urbansize

If you're rethinking your bedroom décor, we have no doubt that you've checked off the must-haves. Incredibly-cute headboard? Check. Pretty linens? Check. Gorgeous ceiling light? Check. But have you thought about your storage situation? A linen closet or trunk is really handy for blankets, sheets, and pillows, but do you have a good spot to stash away books, lotions, magazines, or all those other pre-bedtime essentials? In this case, the no-brainer solution is to include a nightstand or two in your room. Sure, you could go with a traditional nightstand, but we're here to recommend one that saves on space and looks oh-so-modern: a floating nightstand.

Unlike nightstands of yore, a floating nightstand doesn't sport legs or a base. In fact, the most support you'll see with a floating nightstand is a small wall mount, bracket, or even a piece of pipe for an industrial look. A floating nightstand is ideal in a tight squeeze alongside your bed, or if you'd prefer to place a basket on the floor underneath the nightstand. Or, maybe you're a minimalist at heart who doesn't need all those extra drawers or real estate for a nightstand. The other bonus to a floating nightstand is that they're pretty darn easy to construct on your own, making them a DIY dream. If you're handy with power tools, nails, and screws, try your hand at one of the following DIY floating nightstands this weekend, from simple shelves to pieces that brim with charm.
