Part of the pleasure of a great hotel stay is having your needs met before you even register the want. A carafe sits on the nightstand, perfectly chilled. You reach to set your glass down and, oh look – there’s a coaster. There’s even a notebook placed just so, ready for whatever thoughts or half-dreamt revelations drift in before sleep.
Which is to say: what you’re missing at home isn’t hospitality, but foresight – tending to your future needs (a chic little alarm clock for the too-early morning) as deftly as your aesthetic ones (every surface improves with flowers).
If you’re here, chances are that the nightstand is already handled and you've got all the bedroom furniture essentials ticked off the list. What’s left is making it sing. Ahead, 16 bedside-table objects that telegraph taste and elevate the way you live – like a hotel, only better because it’s yours.
The Capsule is Homes & Gardens' series of carefully curated products designed to help you achieve a complete look. Think of them as design formulas – pieces chosen to work in harmony, perfect if you know your style and want an edited selection to bring an entire room together.
