How To Style Your Bedside
The Home Style Co team shares their insight to perfectly style your bedside table in two easy steps.
Step 1 - Choosing the correct bedside lamp
Selecting the perfect lamp firstly entails considering the vibe of the room you wish to create. Are you after a coastal look? Perhaps a sleek modern vibe? Or a French provincial style? Search for inspiration to match your ideal style.
Secondly, what is the colour palette in the space? Make sure the artwork, furniture pieces and bed layering all tie together. Are there warm tones throughout? Is black a common theme? Or is it all very white and neutral and in need of some colour pops?
Pictured below are some examples of taking inspiration from the artwork and furniture pieces and creating a cohesive look.
Step 2 - Adding decor accessories
The finishing touch of bedside styling is adding the perfect decor accessories to add life and character.
It is very important to take into consideration the height of your bedside lamp in order to create visual balance.
If your lamp is on the shorter side, then adding a tall vase of greenery or floral can create amazing harmony.
Also vice-versa, if your lamp is tall then adding smaller decorative objects such as a small stack of books, a photo frame, or candles are a great addition.
Take a look at the following examples of how to pair decor accessories with different lamp styles and colour palettes.
Bonus Tips!
To create a super sleek and sophisticated look, keep the decor accessories to one statement piece on only one bedside, and leaving the remaining bedside with the lamp to speak for itself and not overwhelm the space.
Place the chosen decor accessory on the far end bedside in the room, as this creates interest and is a great first impression when first entering.
Consider the choices of your decorative objects and elements to keep in theme of your chosen look.
