When it comes to bedroom décor, it seems the only choices are to buy a nightstand or accept the one that comes with a larger bedroom set.
But what about DIY-ing your own unique piece? After all, nothing spruces up the décor of a space like a nightstand of your own design.
So before you budget a couple hundred (or more) dollars for a bedside table, consider these 25 DIY nightstand ideas for the bedroom.
Important Details to Consider When Building a DIY Nightstand
Building a DIY nightstand is an easy and fun project, but make sure to approach it with care. Prepare detailed plans and keep them handy; you’ll risk poor results or worse if you don’t have a plan in front of you.
准备好你的尺寸,足够的工作空间,所有合适的工具(不同的锤子,电动工具,袖孔螺丝等),如果需要的话,还有一只帮手。
When it comes to materials, some plans call for specific wood types. In other cases, you’ll be repurposing an item rather than buying new wood. Think about which wood type fits your plan and budget. Many DIYers choose a soft, lightweight wood, but everything from cherry to walnut will work.
此外,一定要考虑像存储选项和抽屉这样的功能。有些附加功能的构建可能更复杂,但根据您的需要,这是非常值得的。
