Bedside Clutter

I Recently had someone ask me a question on "how to keep a bedroom look put together and serene while being able to keep their books and magazines on their bed side". I thought this was an excellent question and I am sure many of us struggle with this. I am one of these book and magazine junkies so I can totally relate. I love beautiful clean lined bedrooms, yet I love to bring my books and magazines to my bed as well. The bedroom can easily start to look cluttered or resemble a mini office or library if you don't plan this out before your design your bedroom.
There are a few ways to maintain a great look without sacrificing to keep books and magazines next to the bed.
Here they are:

Opt out for concealed bed side storage. Whether they are build in pieces or larger pieces with drawers and ample storage - it's an excellent solution to keep your books and magazines out of sight for everyone to see. It keeps the bedroom clutter free yet it houses all your necessities close by so.

Another great storage idea is to look for a bed that has storage below. Therefor you can still have a beautiful minimal bed side table and your good reads close by when you need them.

For a beautiful softer look, bring in some skirted side tables. The books can sit underneath the skirt and not be seen when you enter the bedroom. You will also have an opportunity to have a beautiful table skirt made out of a fabric with either a punch of color, fun pattern or just add a layer of softness to your bedroom.

I would love to hear if you struggle with a similar issue and how you resolved it. Also I am excited to hear what other dilemmas you have and I might just answer them on the blog, so do leave them in the comments :)

Happy Wednesday everyone!!
