Right before you turn out the lights at night, what do you see? Are you staring at a pile of books or papers that you've been meaning to read or sort through on your nightstand? Is there a hodgepodge of accessories and clutter on this one small piece of furniture that you no longer know what the surface underneath looks like?
Your nightstand is the last thing you see before falling asleep. The accessories and items on it should leave you feeling relaxed and inspired, not anxious and stressed.
We've rounded up our top ten nightstand accessories that are both functional and beautiful and sure to leave your nightstand looking stylish.
1. Candlesticks are an easy way to add elegance and ambiance to your bedroom. Group a few of these mercury glass candlesticks or use only one to add glamour to your nightstand.
2. Our nightstands need to be functional, housing eye glasses, jewelry and possibly pens. Instead of allowing those small items to create clutter, put them all in this beautiful hammered nickel-plated brass bowl to hide them from site.
3. It's important to display and show off photos of our friends and family, and our nightstands are a great place to do that. Frame your favorite picture in this aluminum bark frame and display by your bedside.
4. Our bedrooms need to feel like a sanctuary and what better way to do that than with a fragranced candle. We especially love this Herve Gambs glass candle made of vegetal and mineral wax. Available in three fragrances.
5. If you aren't a huge fan of candles but still enjoy a wonderfully scented room, this Herve Gambs room spray is another lovely option. Available in three fragrances, it's an easy accessory to help create a relaxing atmosphere.
6. For those of you that have nighttime rituals like reading before bedtime, a lamp is an essential accessory. This sophisticated crystal lamp has a double shade made of silk and is a wonderful choice.

8. For those of you that love reading and love feeling inspired, it's important to keep inspirational resources and books close by. Browse the pages of Masseria before you go to bed with beautiful interiors of some of Italy's ancient buildings.
9. Another elegant and classic frame option for displaying your children and family next to you at night is this silver & gray frame with clean and simple lines.
