| If you want table lamps, then floor-mounted electrical outlets are your friends. The cord can disappear under the bed. In this case, it helps that the bed has space underneath so you can get at that plug if you need to. Private Comment

| No side tables are even needed here. The headboard has a nice, wide top to hold the lamp and any bedside items. Private Comment

| Most tables sold as "nightstands" are made to go against the wall and don't look nice from all sides. This is a nice opportunity to get creative with your bedside table! This one is just the right height to slide over the edge of the table. The tiny table lamp won't fall over when moving the table out of the way and the cord disappears under the bed, presumably to a floor-mounted outlet. Private Comment

| I know this bed is not floating, but I'm including it here because the bedside tables are such a nice oval shape. Much of the time, when you float the bed, it has its back to the entry of the room. I like rounded backs to furniture when it has its back to you. That's why I think these side tables would make a great choice next to a floating bed. Private Comment

| At first glance, the bed in this photo looks like it is back against the wall, but they have built a low partial-wall/headboard to match the other partial wall behind it. It serves as the headboard and also provides a place for wall sconces to be mounted for lighting. Private Comment

| Here a custom cabinet does triple duty. On the side we can see, it is a bookcase. Although we can't see the other side, notice how the ends are closed on this side. I bet that on the side toward the bed there are shelves or drawers for use as the bedside table. Also, judging from the light switches on the end, my guess is that there are lights on the other side too. Super functional!
