To give my guest bedroom a much-needed update, I added these nightstands and these wall lamps. Both of which are fundamental to proper bedside styling. When it comes to selecting the perfect nightstand and lighting combination, find pieces that feel proportionate to your headboard, and large enough to offer storage and some room for a little accessorizing. 

Because these lamps hang on the wall, I had a lot of space to fill the nightstands with bedside must-haves and decorative pieces. Like these bird figurines and this leopard box to catch your jewelry, reading glasses, or other nighttime essentials.

When it comes to decorating your nightstands, it’s best to work in groups of three. Use the triangle method to keep visual interest, without overwhelming the space. Find more of my favorite bedside essentials from Wayfair below.
