Floating bedside table

The modern bedroom is now a place for rest and relaxation, not just for sleeping. This has increased the demand for furniture that is both stylish and functional. A floating bedside table is a great example, offering a minimalist, contemporary solution that adds both style and smart functionality to any bedroom. 

At Tailor Wood Haven, our collection of floating bedside table designs embodies this ideal. We believe in creating pieces that are more than just furniture - they are part of a curated lifestyle, blending clean, modern lines with the warmth of natural, handcrafted wood. Beyond the floating bedside tables, we also have collections of Live Edge Floating Shelf and Tree Bookshelf, both of which are highly functional and unique additions to any living space.

 

What is a Floating Bedside Table?

A floating bedside table is exactly what it sounds like: a wall-mounted nightstand that has no legs. It is secured directly to the wall, giving it the illusion that it’s floating effortlessly in the air. This design instantly adds a sense of lightness and openness to a room, freeing up valuable floor space that traditional furniture would occupy.

A floating bedside table offers more flexibility than bulky nightstands, allowing you to customize their height and placement to fit your bed and needs perfectly.

Why Your Bedroom Needs a Floating Bedside Table

The benefits of a floating bedside table go far beyond its sleek appearance. It’s a practical, space-saving choice that fundamentally improves the functionality and feel of your bedroom.

  • Maximizes Space: By removing bulky legs, they free up valuable floor space, making a small room feel open and airy. This design trick creates the illusion of a larger, less cluttered room without compromising style. 
  • Easy to Clean: Dust, lint, and stray objects often get trapped in those hard-to-reach corners. A floating bedside table eliminates this problem entirely. With the floor clear beneath it, sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping become quick and simple tasks. This practical benefit contributes to a cleaner, more hygienic bedroom environment.
  • Modern Aesthetics: With its clean lines and simple profile, a floating bedside table is a cornerstone of modern, minimalist design. It creates a calm, uncluttered look that is highly sought after today.

Key Factors to Consider Before Buying a Floating Bedside Table

Choosing the right floating bedside table requires a little bit of planning. To ensure you find a piece that perfectly fits your needs, consider these key factors.

Material and Finish

The material of your floating bedside table is key to its aesthetic and durability. While options like metal and glass exist, we focus on the timeless appeal of solid wood. Crafted from high-quality hardwoods, our pieces offer natural warmth and texture. A solid wood floating bedside table is not only durable but also adds a natural, grounding element to any modern space. We also ensure our pieces have a protective finish, preserving their natural beauty against daily use.

For example, this floating nightstand is crafted from durable oak, chosen for its beautiful grain and warm tones. We apply an eco-friendly oil finish to protect the wood and highlight its unique, natural pattern.

Size and Dimensions

When shopping for a floating bedside table, it’s crucial to consider its size in relation to your bed and room. The table should be proportional to your mattress - not too wide, not too small. A good rule of thumb is to choose a floating bedside table that has enough surface area for your essentials but doesn't overpower the space. Measure the available wall space and take into account the height of your bed to ensure a comfortable and functional fit.

Storage Needs 

Different styles of a floating bedside table offer different storage solutions. Do you prefer an open shelf for easy access to a book or a remote? Or would you rather have a small, discreet drawer to tuck away personal items and maintain a completely clean surface? The choice depends on your habits and how much you value hidden storage. An open-shelf floating bedside table is perfect for a truly minimalist aesthetic, while a design with a drawer provides more practical, hidden storage.

Installation & Placement Tips

Installation & placement are key steps for your floating bedside table. To ensure it's functional and safe, follow these tips for a perfect fit.

Choosing the Right Height

The ideal height for a floating bedside table is one that allows for easy access from your bed. A good rule of thumb is to mount the table so its top surface is level with the top of your mattress. This ensures you can comfortably reach for your phone or a glass of water without straining. A well-placed floating bedside table is as much about ergonomics as it is about aesthetics.

Mounting Safely and Securely

To ensure your floating bedside table is stable and can hold a reasonable amount of weight, it’s critical to mount it properly. The best practice is to locate a wall stud and screw the mounting hardware directly into it. If a stud is not available, use heavy-duty wall anchors designed for drywall or masonry. Never rely on just a single screw or a flimsy anchor, as this could cause your beautiful floating bedside table to become a safety hazard.

Following these mentioned steps guarantees your floating bedside table is a safe and stylish addition to your bedroom.

Styling Your Floating Bedside Table 

The minimalist design of a floating bedside table is its greatest strength, and your styling should reflect this. Aim for a well-chosen arrangement, not a messy one.

Keep it Simple

Resist the temptation to fill every inch of your floating bedside table. Its clean, open surface is a key part of its appeal. A simple, intentional arrangement is far more impactful than a cluttered one. Think of it as a small stage where every item has a purpose and a place.

Functional Decor

Pick out pieces that are both beautiful and useful. Here are a few ideas:

  • A minimalist lamp: Choose a lamp with a clean, simple design to provide light without taking up too much visual space.
  • A small plant: A single succulent or a small potted plant can add a touch of life and color.
  • A decorative tray: Use a small tray to contain and organize essentials like keys, jewelry, or a book.
  • A water carafe: An elegant carafe or glass can be both a functional item and a stylish piece of decor.

The key to styling a floating bedside table is simplicity. Use a few purposeful items, like a minimalist lamp or a decorative tray, you will have an aesthetic and neat floating bedside table

FAQs about Floating Bedside Table 

How much weight can a floating bedside table hold?

The weight capacity of a floating bedside table depends on the material, the mounting hardware used, and the installation. When installed correctly into a wall stud with appropriate hardware, a quality piece can typically hold 15-25 pounds.

What materials are best for a durable floating bedside table? 

Solid hardwoods like reclaimed oak or walnut are excellent choices for durability and longevity. They are strong, resistant to wear, and add a beautiful, natural warmth to the room.

What is the best way to clean and maintain a wood floating bedside table?

To maintain its beauty, simply dust your floating bedside table regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the finish. For a deeper clean, a slightly damp cloth is fine, and a gentle wood polish can be applied once a season to keep the wood nourished.

How do I install a floating bedside table?

Installation typically involves a few key steps: first, choose the ideal height and mark the placement on the wall. Next, use a stud finder to locate the studs in the wall - this is the most secure place for mounting. Then, use the provided hardware to drill pilot holes and attach the mounting bracket or table. Finally, check that the floating bedside table is level and securely attached. For heavy or custom pieces, we always recommend consulting a professional to ensure a safe and sturdy installation.

Are there any potential downsides to consider? 

While a floating bedside table offers many benefits, there are a few things to consider. The height is fixed once installed, so it can't be easily adjusted. Additionally, because it's wall-mounted, it may not be able to hold the same amount of weight as a traditional bedside table. It's important to be mindful of its weight capacity and to ensure it is installed correctly.

Conclusion 

The floating bedside table is a small but impactful piece of furniture. It's a design choice that reflects a commitment to a clean, stylish, and functional home. More than just saving space, it helps create a sense of calm and order, allowing you to relax and recharge. 

At Tailor Wood Haven, we craft each table to be beautiful, intentional, and durable. Our pieces combine the warmth of handcrafted wood with modern design, offering the perfect blend of style and substance. Explore our collection to find a floating bedside table that elevates your bedroom.
