I feel mine is cluttered

I have a lamp. But it looks a bit dated. Then tablets, photo propped up not in a frame, handcrean, pillow spray, foot spray, coaster. It looks cluttered. But I need all these things before I go to bed

Trinket tray with some earrings in it, a few bottles of perfume, earbuds, candle, coaster, lip balm, little bag with HRT in it. And I still have two drawers full of crap underneath.

I have one with a drawer to keep things like that in. The only bits I have on it are the alarm clock and a plant.

Lamp is a wall lamp

Dahlia1234 · 10/01/2025 19:52

A lamp, my kindle, phone (when charging), tablets, and some water. But it's still cluttered. We've been thinking about getting some smaller bedside lamps so that might help

itsstillmehere · 10/01/2025 19:53

A lamp, a Lumie alarm clock, several books, a Neom mini pod , a mirror coaster . 3 drawers of stuff below 😳

PlantDoctor · 10/01/2025 19:53

A small fish tank 😅

Juliagreeneyes · 10/01/2025 19:54

I always used to have: lamp, glass of water, medication, glasses case and glasses, books, phone charger, other bits and pieces;

— then I got a nosy little cat who likes to chew, tread on and sit on things and put her paws into any glass she sees 😆

Now I have: a lamp 🤦‍♀️

EveryOtherNameTaken · 10/01/2025 19:54

Water
Micropore tape
When I'm in bed add my phone and glasses

Ladyof2025 · 10/01/2025 19:57

Next to my bed I have one of those rolling carts like they're using hairdressers. It has five draws and every one of them is full.

Hedjwitch · 10/01/2025 20:00

I have a 3 drawer cabinet and the top is way too cluttered. Am in bed just now so can give you the detail..
Wooden candlestick and candle, small pink rubber alien,tin of Myrrh resin,candle in glass votive, 5 jars/droppers of skin cream,serums and oils,an inhaler, a teeny weeny alarm clock which I got in my stocking,3 crystal bead bracelets and a small glass disc that they sit on ,a wooden one drawer " thing" made by my great grandfather: it's like a little display thingy. It is home to 18crystals,2 stones,2 pieces of sea glass,a silver ring,a rowan twig talisman and a tiny wasps nest( not occupied). Oh just also spotted a phial of tea tree oil and 2 hair bobbles. The latter are baffling..I have a buzz cut! Oh,also the battery box for the fairy lights.

Scutterbug · 10/01/2025 20:01

I have a lamp and then a storage basket with:

vaseline

Lamp,glass of water, phone,ear plugs,an old mobile phone that's been there a year.

XenoBitch · 10/01/2025 20:47

One side - an radio alarm clock, and a touch lamp.
Other side - box of tissues, whatever book I am trying (and failing) to read, a sleep remedy roll on thing, and a colour changing lamp shaped like the moon.

Saying that, the cupboard part of my bedside tables are rammed full of shite. I don't even know what is in them.
