Getting your nightstand decor right is an essential step in curating a bedroom that looks professionally styled.
One of my favorite decor trends right now is using all neutrals, and if you’re in love with this style too, you’re in luck!
Today, I’m sharing eight designs for neutral, aesthetic nightstands to give you some inspiration when decorating your own.

Nightstand Decor: Minimal, Neutral, & Trendy
1: neutral & earthy
This first design uses a small yet functional wood nightstand. I’ve kept the decor here minimal to fit the small surface, with just some greenery, books, and a decorative knot sculpture.
I’ve also added a black wall sconce to tie in with the dark drawer knob and add a light source.
2. soft white elegance
Next, I’ve styled this gorgeous wood nightstand from Anthropologie. Perfectly complementing the wood are cream drawers with a distressed, mermaid scale-like texture adorning them.
You’ll notice more off-white pieces with unique textures and shapes throughout this design, contributing to an aesthetically pleasing and elegant look.
3. japandi style
I’ve kept this next nightstand super simple, taking inspiration from Japandi interior design with plenty of clean lines and solid-color pieces. For functionality, I’ve added a storage basket on the bottom shelf.
Also notice the textures here, like the wood grain, woven basket material, and imperfections in the vases, that help create an imperfect and homey atmosphere.

4. black & off-white
I do love a design with some gorgeous contrast! Instead of stark black and white, this nightstand uses black and cream for a softer yet still eye-catching appearance.
Contributing to its softness are plenty of beautiful curved edges.
I found a lamp with a base that perfectly matches the light wood grain of this nightstand, tying the look together and brightening the design. I added a hanging plant for some added texture and liveliness.
5. warm neutrals
This next nightstand decor idea beautifully utilizes warm neutral tones to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
I’ve added some simple cherry blossom branches in a vase along with a lamp that features a stunning pleated shade. Also contributing to the coziness are a stack of decorative books to fill in the open storage spot.
6. rattan details
If you love a boho look with beachy elements, this one’s for you. We have this beautiful, weathered-looking nightstand with rattan detailing on the front, seamlessly tying in with the woven light fixture hanging above it.
For some more earthy, ocean-inspired touches, I added a bowl with a seashell-like texture and a lush snake plant on top.

7. minimalist
This nightstand decor idea is for those who love an ultra-minimalist aesthetic. I’ve chosen a simple and clean wood nightstand and styled it with all soft white pieces, beautifully unifying all the elements in this space.
To cozy things up, I’ve chosen books (shocker), a candle, and a small round lamp.
8. rustic textures
My final design is one that brings a sense of rusticity and earthiness thanks to its dominant natural tones and textures.
I’ve styled this nightstand with tan pieces like the decorative clay top, neutral lamp, and of course, potted greenery to foster a peaceful connection to the outdoors.
