We wrote about the ladder shelve a few posts ago, and here it is used as a bedside "table". It goes perfectly with the wood and white theme too.

What a simple but creative way to use concrete! Not only does it add an industrial accent to a room, it's versatile too; lean some books against its base or stick up a few polaroid films.

We love everything about this, from the genius use of the swing to the pouffe doubling as an extra landing space for necessities.

We think this brightly coloured pegboard will do good with or without the traditional nightstand. Just add a few hooks and you can hang anything on it - hats, spectacles, accessories, a nightrobe.

Your table doesn't even need to be a separate. This space-saving drop-down table is the perfect solution to working and/or lounging in bed. Or for some of us, eating pizza while watching television.

Don't think too hard, just replace the common table with another piece of furniture. Case in point: a chair. May we add, we adore the raised platform!

Fussy and modern, this floating storage is a unique way to keep things close by.
