Why not use a wooden stepladder as a bedside table? For this purpose, you could paint it any color you like - even in fluorescent colors, like this one!
3. A stack of suitcases
Just like the books (described above), vintage suitcases can be stacked on top of each other to form a decorative, unique bedside table.
4. Trolley
In terms of functionality, few items can beat using a multi-shelf trolley. And this includes using it as a handy bedside table (as shown here).
5. Nightstands hanging from the ceiling
Looking for a minimalist, space-saving option? Well, here we have an example of a piece of natural wood serving as a nightstand, suspended from the ceiling.
6. Trays hung upside down
Here's an idea for nightstands that uses trays, hung up upside down and suspended from the ceiling.
7. Recycle an old drawer
How about recycling an old drawer, transforming it into a wall-mounted bedside table? You gain a useful support top and a handy drawer to use!
8. An open drawer works well too
And if the bedside table is just a wall-mounted, open drawer, this can still work well!
9. Half of a coffee table
A whole coffee table might take up too much space in the bedroom, so why not cut it in half? This way, you will get two half-tables for the bedroom which you can the secure to the wall on both sides of the bed.
10. Custom-made wooden shelves
Here's another space-saving idea: L-shaped shelves, with a vertical back-panel mounted to the wall and where a light fitting can be installed. The horizontal shelf at the bottom of the panel provides the support surface.
