We took a bit of a break from home improvement updates after David got my closet mostly done earlier this year. However, this fall, David and I are picking back up on some updates in both our guest bedrooms and our primary bedroom. With that in mind, I have been looking at new nightstands for our bedrooms that will not break the bank while still offering a little refresher. Here are 7 nightstands for your guest bedroom that are under $200!

7 Nightstands for your Guest Bedroom for Under $200 – Traditional Options
For a more traditional approach to nightstands, I really like the three-drawer option of the first option. This gives added storage for guests and stores additional essentials for guests, like reading materials, chargers, and small toiletries. This nightstand comes in 9 different colors.
The single-drawer and shelf option of number 4 is another lovely traditional option. This option makes it a bit more versatile for decorating given the open shelf on the bottom. It comes in four different colors. Our guest bedroom is painted in Sherwin Williams Repose Gray and we have a black iron frame with neutral bedding, so I am gravitating towards white or gray options for the color of our space.

I very much like option 2 in gray with the gold details! This nightstand comes in 11 different color options, including a really pretty lavender that would make for a fun take on a neutral. The black and white colors are also great traditional options. I cannot get over how pretty the foot details are with the gold plating.
I like to include small vignettes in our guest bedroom and option 3 provides enough space to do that, plus has that nice opening to display books. Check out my favorite coffee table books and specific ones for North Carolina to include in your decor!
7 Nightstands for your Guest Bedroom for Under $200 – Storage Options
My favorite out of this set is the fifth option because I like the rattan detail and the amount of storage it provides. The one pictured is old and sold out, so the one linked here comes in a set of 2 and I love the USB port and the built-in power outlets. This is such a nice touch for guests and I wish these had been available when I made a purchase! Spoiler, David and I opted for the fifth option for our guest bedroom!
The coloring and the legs on number 6 make for an interesting choice and would coordinate well with our existing black iron bed frame. The depth of the drawers is ideal for storing extra blankets and towels. The four tapered dowel feet add modern style to a rustic farmhouse design.
The last option provides a pretty shape with quite a bit of storage. The iron details are a modern touch and it comes in six different color options. This is a functional nightstand and a more unique look than any of the others with the drawer being on the bottom and the big space for displaying books.
All of these options will need to be assembled at home, though there is the option to add on professional assembly for a small fee. Wayfair has excellent customer service, so if you need any support, they are there to help.
