Bedside Water Carafe Serving Up Convenience

Enjoy those middle-of-the-night sips of water in elegant convenience when you outfit your nightstand with a bedside water carafe from Williams Sonoma. The timeless designs in this collection coordinate effortlessly with any bedroom style. Fill them with plain water or create infused treats by adding slices of orange, cucumber or strawberries. Fresh mint provides an added depth of flavor.

Bedside Water Carafe Features to Look For

With so many different bedside water carafes available, it's easy to find one that will coordinate with the design of your space. As you browse the collection, take a few key design features into consideration:

• Material: Consider what room the carafe will be used in and choose a material designed to meet the needs of the space. Glass and metal carafes are an ideal choice for a master retreat or inviting guest bedroom. If the carafe is in a child's space, an acrylic design may make a better choice.
• Integrated Cups: Many of the designs in this collection feature integrated cups that double as a lid for the pitcher when it's not in use. These cups are the perfect complement to the carafe and provide a complete design. If the design does not have an integrated cup, choose one that coordinates in design and place it beside the carafe.
• Lids: If the water is going to be sitting out for a long time, choosing a carafe with a lid will help to ensure no dust or debris from the air gets in the water.
• Design: Some carafes are simple and sleek in design with a tapered neck that make it easy to hold. Others are more like a pitcher in shape and feature a handle on the side for easy pouring. Consider which design will best suit your needs.

Styling Your Nightstand

Having a water carafe on your nightstand is convenient but you don't want to run the risk of water rings on your wood furniture. Keep your furniture protected by placing your glass and carafe on top of a decorative serving tray. A water carafe isn't the only thing you can place on a the tray. A box of tissues, a set of coasters and a small trinket bowl where you can place a hair elastic or the jewelry you take off at the end of the day makes for thoughtful decor as well. Water carafes also make a heartfelt gift idea. Some even provide the option of adding personalization.
