If you live in a small apartment, tiny condo, narrow bedroom or rental home, bulky traditional nightstands can take up too much floor space and make your room feel crowded. Finding functional space saving bedside tables and learning how to install a floating nightstand without damaging walls is a great way to free up floor space, keep your rental walls safe, and add handy storage beside your bed.
Many renters struggle with this problem: they want a floating nightstand for their small bedroom, but drilling holes is not allowed. That’s why no drill floating nightstand, damage-free wall mounted bedside shelf and removable bedside wall shelf become super popular for small space bedroom decor.

Standard freestanding nightstands with legs occupy valuable floor area. Space saving floating bedside tables are wall-mounted, so they leave the floor open for easy cleaning and movement. A slim floating nightstand works wonderfully in narrow bedrooms, studio apartments, guest rooms and college dorms.

Fold down wall bedside shelf, clamp-on bedside tray and tension pole nightstand are all lightweight, stylish and match minimalist, Scandinavian and modern bedroom styles.
