FLOATING BEDSIDE TABLES FOR TINY LIVING

We’ve lived in very expensive places in the USA needless to say, we’ve unintentionally become tiny living enthusiast. When cost of living is high and you’re trying to pay off student loan debt, you get incredibly good at living small and doing without. Our first tiny house experience was when we moved to New York and we lived in a 325sqft cottage. After that, we moved into a small apartment, gained a few more sqft and a bedroom. I was over the moon happy to have a bedroom.
While our space is tiny and we’ve given up things like a conventional stove and oven, we’ve figured out how to really make things work, and keep our stuff to a minimum. Because our space is limited we get creative with furniture or the lack of furniture. When we went looking for a new bed frame we knew we needed something with storage and we found this Brimnes storage bed from Ikea and it was perfect. The large drawers meant we could avoid having a dresser, saving us space in our bedroom.
Our next step was to figure out some kind of bedside table. We wanted to find something inexpensive, easy, and that would work with our bed. We knew we had to find something that we could easily attach to the wall, and allow us to open the drawers in our bed. We headed to Target and found something perfect, a wood file organizer. In its simplest form, it’s a wood box and that was just what we needed. Installation was easy, we simply anchored the crate with a few screws to the wall.
We have loved these creative bedside tables and I found some amazing alternatives that I think y’all will love. Wood filling or organizing boxes are easy to find and they are just as easy to paint to suit your decor aesthetic.
FLOATING BEDSIDE TABLES FOR TINY LIVING
Organizer Crates : This crate is just like the one we have, it just needs a coat of paint. This one is super fun and creative with the wood slates.
Wood Storage Cabinet : I stumbled upon this wood organizer and thought it was so cute and perfect as a bedside table. I love the little drawers in it.
Wood File Organizer : This wood file organizer is another amazing find that would work great as a floating bedside table. Again, this could easily be painted any color.
Keep in mind that all of these options are on the smaller side and are ideal for small spaces. We have a full-size bed and our bedroom is small too, so having small bedside tables worked for our space.
