Minimalist Nightstand

Building a set of nightstands for our master bedroom has been on my list for a long time now, and in that time I have come up with a number of different ideas for how they could look. But eventually I stepped back and realized that what I wanted was something small and un-fussy. 

Minimalist Nightstand

I call it the Minimalist Nightstand. It features a small footprint and simple, clean lines. And I have it available for you in two versions: A basic version for those who want to keep things as straightforward as possible, and an “Applied” version for those who want a bit more of a challenge. 

 

You can find the plans for the applied version here.

And the plans for the basic version are here.

Required Materials and Tools

The Applied and Basic versions of the Minimalist Nighstand require different materials and tools. I have a complete list for each listed below to assist in determining which version would best suite you.

I love that this minimalist nightstand has a smaller footprint that helps open up the space a bit. It’s clean lines help keep things feeling decluttered and clean. Please refer to the video for an overview tutorial, and be sure the download whichever plans you like for a step by step guide to building one (or two!) for yourself.
