Tidbit Tuesday :: bedside table decor

Let's not forget that not only is our bedroom our private place but it should be a place to unwind and wash away worries of the day.

Your bedside tables (and your dresser) is an area to display your favorite personal things.

I like to shop in unexpected departments to find unique pieces that I can use in different areas of my home, in an unconventional way.

Perhaps finding a vintage plate or serving platter from the dining department to nestle neatly on your bedside table to hold any jewelry being discarded at the end of your day is an idea you could implement.
Just like before, I've come up with a list of items for your bedside table.

5 essentials to your bedside table:

- a nice reading lamp
It can be clean and simple within a neutral shade (no pun intended) or something a bit more radical to introduce flavor and spice

- a couple books for reading
Nothing says comfort and casual like snuggling into your bed, wrapped in down and luxury and grabbing a good read before beddy bye

- a tray, plate, a lid to a box
Something to hold loose ends discarded from your pockets, wrists, or neck to neatly nestle by your side. Anything will work so long as you enjoy it and it serves the purpose.

- a carafe and glass for water
Fill the carafe each night with cold distilled or sparkling water (whichever you prefer) for those middle of the night thirst bursts. We could all stand to drink more water. Not only does it cleanse every part of our body from the inside out, it's refreshing, nourishing, and detoxifying.

-candles
Go crazy! Tea lights, tapered, pillar, scented, soy based, white, bold colored, big, small, short or tall. Light, set the mood, and enjoy! (Lather, Rinse, Repeat). It's amazing what a couple of lit candles can do for any mood.


And as I've stated before, objects in 3's gain more impact. Whether be it books or candies. Think in Three :)

Now: I didn't add this to my list but I think it goes without saying. Fresh flowers in a beautiful vase adds life to any corner of a drab bedroom and will also make the place smell fresh. If you enjoy fresh flowers the way I do, pick some up and place accordingly. Even if it's not an everyday ritual, it could certainly be a routine on special occasions.
