Why Choose a Floating Nightstand?
Choosing a Floating Nightstand comes with multiple benefits that make it a smart choice for modern bedrooms:
- Maximize Floor Space: Unlike traditional bedside tables, a Floating Nightstand is wall-mounted, leaving the floor underneath completely open. This makes your room feel bigger and more breathable - perfect for compact spaces or minimalist interiors.
- Effortless Cleaning: With no legs or corners to work around, sweeping or vacuuming becomes quick and hassle-free. A Floating Nightstand keeps your bedroom neat with minimal effort.
- Modern, Stylish Appeal: Its clean silhouette and hidden hardware create a sleek, floating effect that elevates your bedroom’s overall look, blending beautifully with contemporary, Scandinavian, or rustic styles
- Versatile Mounting Heights: You can install it at a custom height to match your bed or personal preferences, ensuring ergonomic comfort.
- Space-Saving Storage: Many floating designs include drawers or shelves, offering practical bedside storage without bulk.
Material & Design Excellence
When selecting a Floating Nightstand, materials and design details play a huge role in both durability and style. At Tailor Wood Haven, every piece is handcrafted to bring out the natural beauty of solid wood while ensuring long-lasting performance.
Let’s explore what makes our floating nightstands stand out in both construction and aesthetics.
Solid Wood Options – Natural Durability
Each Floating Nightstand is handcrafted from solid hardwoods like oak, walnut, maple, or reclaimed teak. These materials not only showcase beautiful grain patterns but are also naturally durable and long-lasting, perfect for daily bedside use.
Floating Silhouette & Hidden Hardware
The suspended look is achieved via concealed steel brackets or French cleat systems, which support the nightstand securely while keeping the surface flush against the wall. This creates a clean, floating silhouette that adds a modern touch to any bedroom.
Customization Possibilities
Available in custom dimensions, finish tones (matte oil, neutral stain, or clear wax), and design formats - whether you prefer a slim slab, one drawer, or open cubby layout. Tailor the Floating Nightstand to suit your bedroom aesthetic and functional needs.
Handcrafted Detailing
Every piece is built by skilled artisans with years of woodworking experience. Edges are carefully sanded, corners rounded for safety, and finishes hand-applied to protect the natural grain while enhancing color depth.
Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Sourcing
Our solid woods are sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring your Floating Nightstand is not only durable but also environmentally conscious. Water-based finishes and minimal-waste craftsmanship further reduce ecological impact.
Functional Benefits of Floating Nightstands
A Floating Nightstand is not just a stylish furniture piece - it also makes everyday living more comfortable and practical. From keeping your essentials organized to making your bedroom easier to clean, these functional benefits explain why homeowners love adding a floating bedside solution to their space.
Better Bedside Organization
With a Floating Nightstand, you can keep your nighttime essentials - like phones, lamps, glasses of water, or books - within easy reach. Many designs include drawers or open shelves, making it simple to separate electronics from reading material and keep clutter under control. This organized approach helps you start and end your day in a calmer, more functional environment.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
One of the most appreciated benefits of a Floating Nightstand is its wall-mounted design, which keeps the floor underneath completely open. This makes vacuuming or sweeping far easier compared to traditional bedside tables. With fewer legs and corners to navigate around, cleaning becomes a quick and hassle-free task, keeping your bedroom spotless with minimal effort.
Space-Saving Solution for Small Bedrooms
In small bedrooms, every square foot matters. A Floating Nightstand frees up valuable floor space, making the room appear larger and more open. Its sleek, suspended design eliminates bulky furniture legs, which is ideal for tight spaces like city apartments, guest rooms, or minimalist layouts.
Flexible Height & Placement Options
Unlike standard nightstands with fixed heights, a wall-mounted Floating Nightstand lets you choose the perfect level for your comfort. You can align it with your mattress height or install it slightly higher for a modern, layered look. This flexibility also allows for creative placements, such as installing dual floating shelves as stacked nightstands for additional storage.
Enhanced Safety and Accessibility
Because it’s securely attached to the wall, a Floating Nightstand is stable and less likely to tip over. This makes it a safer choice for homes with kids or pets. Its easy-to-reach design also improves accessibility, especially in compact rooms where navigating around furniture can be challenging.
How to Install a Floating Nightstand Properly
Installing a floating nightstand might seem tricky, but with the right tools and clear steps, you can securely mount it yourself for a clean, modern look. This guide will walk you through everything you need - from essential tools to safety tips so your nightstand is both stylish and stable.
Tools You’ll Need
To install your floating nightstand securely and accurately, gather the following essential tools:
- Stud Finder: This tool helps you locate the wooden studs behind your drywall, which are necessary to hold the weight of the nightstand safely.
- Level: A level ensures your nightstand is mounted perfectly horizontal, preventing any awkward tilting or uneven surfaces.
- Drill and Drill Bits: You'll need a power drill with appropriately sized drill bits to create pilot holes for screws or anchors.
- Screws (3–4 inches) or Wall Anchors: Use sturdy screws designed for heavy loads, typically 3 to 4 inches long. If you cannot mount directly into studs, heavy-duty wall anchors or toggle bolts are required for secure fixing in hollow walls.
- Measuring Tape: Accurate measurements guarantee the nightstand is positioned at the right height and aligned correctly with your bed.
- Pencil or Marker: For marking stud locations and drill points on the wall.
- Screwdriver: To tighten screws securely after drilling.
Having these tools ready before starting will help ensure a smooth and safe installation process.
Step-by-Step Mounting Guide
- Locate wall studs using a stud finder.
- Mark the height (generally matching your bed frame).
- Drill pilot holes and attach brackets or cleat securely into the studs.
- Slide the nightstand onto the brackets. Ensure it is level and flush.
Weight Support & Safety Tips
Ensure installation into studs or use heavy-duty toggle anchors for hollow walls. A well-mounted Floating Nightstand can safely support up to 40 lbs or more, depending on bracket type and wall material.

FAQs
Can a Floating Nightstand hold a heavy lamp or book pile?
Yes - when properly installed into wall studs or with high-grade anchors, these nightstands can support typical bedside loads like reading lamps or stacks of books.
At what height should I mount it?
Aim for a setup where the top aligns with your mattress height, typically 24–28 inches from the floor, so it’s comfortable to reach from your bed.
Is it removable or relocatable?
Yes, if mounted with a French cleat system. Other hidden-bracket systems may require unscrewing but still allows removal or repositioning.
What types of walls are suitable for installing a Floating Nightstand?
Floating nightstands are best installed on solid walls like wood studs or concrete. Drywall alone may not support heavy loads without proper anchors or reinforcements.
How do I clean and maintain my Floating Nightstand?
Use a soft, dry cloth to dust regularly. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap works well. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the wood finish.
Can I customize the size or finish of the Floating Nightstand?
Many manufacturers offer customization options including size, wood type, stain color, and finish to match your bedroom décor perfectly.
