8. Tiled Mosaic Top
For a look that is bold, colorful, and durable, a tiled top is the way to go. Using small, colorful square tiles, you can create a mosaic that matches your room’s color palette perfectly.
How to Make
Clean the top of the nightstand and apply a thin layer of tile adhesive. Press your tiles into the adhesive, creating a grid or a pattern. Once the adhesive is set, apply grout over the entire top, wiping away the excess with a damp sponge before it dries. The result is a rock-solid, stain-resistant, and high-texture surface that is perfect for placing a hot mug of tea or a cold glass of water.
Things Needed
- Small square tiles (ceramic or glass)
