This is for you if your bedside table looks plain or cold. You want it warmer without much work or cost. People search for this to make their bedroom restful. These steps use home items. You can do them today.
Cover Hard Spots with Cloth
Hardwood feels chilly at night. Soft cloth changes that.
Take a scarf or a tea towel. Lay it over the top. Let edges drop loose.
Slide corners under a book. It stays put. Layer another cloth for more softness.
One woman used her old scarf. Her table went from stark to snug.
Add a Cushion in One Spot
No cushion means it stays flat. A small one adds comfort.
Fold a towel or roll socks tightly. Set it in a corner. Match it to your knee when sitting.
Push a book next to it. Pat the top to fluff.

Fit a picture between. Open one book. Spread the pages.

Use Warm Light
Cold light sharpens edges. Warm light softens all.

Set a candle jar nearby. Leave it unlit.
