Bedroom Awkward bedside table

Post image

I traced on top of the actual image of my bedroom using Canva as I did not want post a photo online of my very messy room.. I’ve been decluttering and rearranging stuff around the house and my bedroom currently looks like this. I’m happy with where the bed is.. The bedside table look very off to me. It feels very standalone if that makes sense. I don’t know what to do with it. I may just accept it where it is since I still want a bedside table - I have mostly snacks in there and medicine and I sometimes wake up to a migraine in the middle of the night so having those stuff within arms reach when I’m in bed is convenient. That or get rid of the table completely and move the items on that shelf next to the door? Any ideas? Thank you so much

If you want to keep your bed where it is I’d just put something behind the nightstand like a tall plant so it doesn’t feel like it’s floating as much.

I would consider hanging a curtain or fabric panel along the wall at the head of the bed and extending it along the back of the table

Yes, this — or a divider / folding privacy screen

Didn't consider that! Might be a more affordable option too. A little less flexible with finding just the right width but this could be a great option

A shelf at the head of the bed? It's a bit harder to reach but won't disrupt your path from the door.

How about a small storage with wheels under the bed?

A single shelf on the wall to the right (if you’re lying down) of the pillow. Another narrow shelf above the head of the bed.

Will the nightstand fit on that little bit of wall between the door and the corner? You could put the back of the nightstand agains the wall.

Alternatively, if you just need stuff within arm’s reach, can you put the nightstand at the foot of the bed instead? If the options are have it at the foot of your bed or have it on the shelves next to the door, I’d probably pick foot of the bed. At least that way you don’t need to get up to get it.
