A Selje nightstand by IKEA is a simple plain white piece, so it may seem boring. What about embracing the spring with a floral nightstand? Turn this boring piece into a bold blooming one with floral fabric! Don’t cover the inside of the drawer or the back of the pieces, since these won’t show. You also don’t need to cover the bottom of the nightstand or the bottom of the legs.
