Having a stylish bedside table not only adds aesthetic appeal to your bedroom decor but also provides a convenient space to keep essentials within arm’s reach. Instead of purchasing an expensive pre-made bedside table, why not create your own? In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making a stylish bedside table, or as the Italians call it, a “comodino.”

What You’ll Need:

  • Plywood board (measured to your desired table size)
  • Table legs or hairpin legs
  • Wood glue
  • Screws
  • Drill
  • Screwdriver
  • Sandpaper
  • Paint or wood stain
  • Paintbrush or sponge
  • Clear varnish (optional)

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Plywood

Start by measuring and marking the desired dimensions for your bedside table on the plywood board. Using a saw, carefully cut along the marked lines to create the table surface.

Step 2: Attach the Legs

Next, attach the legs to your table. If you opted for table legs, use a drill to create pilot holes on the underside of the plywood board. Apply wood glue to the top of each leg and then screw them into place. If you chose hairpin legs, simply screw them into the pre-drilled holes on the plywood.

Step 3: Sand the Surface

Smooth out any rough edges or imperfections on the surface of your table by using sandpaper. Start with a coarse-grit sandpaper to remove any splinters or bumps, then switch to a finer grit to achieve a smooth finish.

Step 4: Paint or Stain

Now it’s time to add color or enhance the natural beauty of the wood. You can either paint your bedside table in a hue that complements your bedroom decor or apply a wood stain to bring out the grain. Use a paintbrush or sponge to evenly apply the desired paint or stain, allowing proper drying time between coats if necessary.

Step 5: Apply Varnish (Optional)

If you’d like to protect the painted or stained surface and add a glossy finish, you can apply a clear varnish. This step is optional but recommended for longevity and durability. Apply the varnish following the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to dry completely.

Step 6: Personalize and Decorate

Now that your bedside table is complete, it’s time to personalize and decorate it. Consider adding decorative drawer pulls, a small potted plant, or a stylish lamp to make it truly unique and functional.

Creating your own stylish bedside table doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With a few simple materials and this step-by-step guide, you can make a delightful “comodino” that perfectly suits your bedroom decor.

Remember to place your finished bedside table next to your bed, so you can enjoy the convenience and beauty it brings to your intimate sanctuary.
