Looking for suggestions and inspiration for nightstands and nighstand organizational ideas, that include spaces for all the types of mobile devices charging, and don't break the bank.
Looking for suggestions and inspiration for nightstands and nighstand organizational ideas, that include spaces for all the types of mobile devices charging, and don't break the bank.
Depends a bit on what you have, but I find a 3 in one wireless charger (phone, watch, earbuds) helps reduce the footprint of the individual chargers. Doing research is also importan, it's a bit of the wild west and there aren't any reputable brands yet. If it helps I chose mine pretty much based on feel, and it performs alright.
I don’t have anything I don’t hate, so I’m talking the ground up. Nightstand and everything.
If you're up for the learning curve you can put together a compelling nightstand for a fair price using pine wood and hand tools. From that you can decide what shape and functionality you desire, and a little stain goes a long way to bring appeareances to spec.
With a few more tools or a makerspace you can add drawer rails or pocket holes for routing cables, build in your desired light source. If you'd rather you can also pick up second hand furniture to modify to your needs, generally cheaper.
Regarding layout, I trend towards minimalism lest my space become crowded with things I hardly use. For me its the charger for my phone, my partners watch, a coaster for a drink, simple alarm clock and a box of tissues. Anything else I consider extraneous and make sure to remove as soon as possible before a habit forms. And power for all the devices is cable managed using velcro ties and routed to a power strip so there's only one cord leaving the nightstand.
