For Tight Spaces
Don’t be deterred by the name. Smaller in scale than a typical nightstand, a bathroom cabinet is perfect for a bedroom where every inch counts. A shelf meant to store towels and toiletries works equally well for an alarm clock and books. For anyone with allergies, a cabinet with glass doors is a good, dust-defeating choice.

RS Pick: Restoration Hardware’s Cartwright Sliding Shelf Cabinet makes it easy to access all your bedside necessities while you’re lounging: Just slide out one of the two shelves and grab what you need. The white lacquered-wood finish adds a clean, fresh look to any bedroom, and at 18 by 15 by 30 inches, it fits well in small spaces without overpowering them.
