For this project, my client wanted a nightstand to fit the space next to their bed. Most of the nightstands they liked were too wide and didn’t fit the space, so we pulled elements from the bed, such as the back bevel along the edges, and built this custom piece.
The nightstand is made from white oak with a two-tone stain treatment. The lighter wood is the natural color of the oak, while the darker wood was custom-matched to the stain color of the bed. I milled a back bevel on the front to add a level of depth and to transition from the stain into the natural wood.
The client wanted a small cubby on top to store phones, tablets, or books, keeping the top of the nightstand clean, but the phone easily accessible. To keep phones and tablets charged, I drilled a hole in the top right corner of the cubby to keep it discreet and out of sight. That hole leads to a power strip integrated into the back of the nightstand, featuring a standard USB and mini USB charging port. The drawer boxes are of dovetail construction and outfitted with under-mount soft-close drawer glides. The interior designer selected the sleek, bronze modern drawer pulls to tie the colors and materials to the rest of the room.
