These 10 ultra-chic picks will instantly jazz up your nightstand (and hydrate you)</p> <p id="A04nba">One of my recurring New Year’s resolutions — and, yes, I know it’s already March — is to drink more water. And while there are plenty of high-tech water bottles out there that will <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516589&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.livelarq.com%2F%3F&amp;referrer=eater.com&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eater.com%2F24377006%2Fbest-bedside-water-carafes-decanters" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">clean themselves</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/HidrateSpark-STEEL-Smart-Water-Bottle/dp/B08C1MLMJF?tag=eater0c-20" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">remind you when it’s hydration o’clock</a>, or even… <a href="https://www.amazon.com/PRODIGY-Hydrogen-Water-Bottle-Generator/dp/B00NJ0XSKC?tag=eater0c-20" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">whatever this does</a> (put more hydrogen in your water?), I have found a lot more success in the use of a classic, everyday beside water carafe. It looks like TikTok agrees with me, because there’s an <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/search?q=carafe&amp;t=1741016255502">impressive collection</a> of pro-bedside-carafe videos on the platform: </p> <div id="6k1tVr"> <blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@mectok1234/video/7445082315262414110" class="tiktok-embed"> <section> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mectok1234?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@mectok1234">@mectok1234</a> <p>It makes me happy ok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="fyp">#fyp</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/carafe?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="carafe">#carafe</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/decor?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="decor">#decor</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/nightstand?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="nightstand">#nightstand</a> </p> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7414198045417491242?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - secret brittany">♬ original sound - secret brittany</a> </section> </blockquote> </div> <p id="uXTkl1">For the uninitiated, a bedside water carafe is a vessel (usually, glass) that typically lives on your nightstand and provides a few glasses’ worth of water at arm’s reach. It typically includes a single water cup that doubles as a lid for the carafe, and while it’s not limited to use on your nightstand (there are plenty of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bedside-Nightstand-Drinking-Glasses-Decanter/dp/B0BQJDGSR1/ref=pd_lpo_d_sccl_2/145-7146656-7468641?tag=eater0c-20" rel="sponsored nofollow noopener" target="_blank">multi-glass carafe sets</a>), the ritual of using a bedside carafe can feel nonchalantly luxurious and intimate, like staying at a high-end hotel (even if you’re just in a Bushwick railroad apartment). I appreciate the presence of a bedside carafe the same way I appreciate my key holder or coat rack: as a small, but consistent convenience that makes the everyday motions of life run just a little bit smoother. </p> <p id="J4Ojc3">As a design nerd and enthusiastic hydrator, here’s what I look for in a great bedside carafe: size (around 28 ounces is my personal sweet spot), aesthetic, and how easy it will be able to fumble around for in the middle of the night. I appreciate delicate glassware, but for something that I’m using all day as a WFH writer, I need glassware that’s straightforward to pick up, difficult to knock over, and easy to pour. Functionality, however, doesn’t have to be a substitute for sleek design, and I often find myself looking for midcentury-modern-inspired carafes or jugs with color-blocking combinations. </p> <p id="NtJ8IS">Below, I have rounded up a handful of my favorite bedside carafes for every aesthetic and budget. Whether you’re shopping in the $20 or $100 range, and each one combines form and function for a practical purchase that will delight you for years to come. Plus, a bedside carafe also makes an excellent <a href="https://www.eater.com/24372860/best-housewarming-gifts">housewarming gift</a>. </p> <p id="PcjQQC">Ready, set, sip. </p> <h2 id="dtDYBP"><strong>The Best Bedside Carafes Under $25</strong></h2> <h3 id="NiPQrr"><strong>A touch of spring </strong></h3> <div id="voIfYh"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="rI7BX0" /> <h3 id="ohUIoq"><strong>You went to MoMA’s Spring Design Showcase</strong></h3> <div id="LFz3gt"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="iZkPyI" /> <h3 id="KgyQNK"> <strong>Your comfort film is Sofia Coppola’s </strong><em><strong>Marie Antoinette </strong></em> </h3> <div id="zcPoHF"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="X2MjGA" /> <h2 id="4SV361"><strong>The Best Bedside Carafes Under $50</strong></h2> <h3 id="WvK6S8"><strong>You’re a minimalist </strong></h3> <div id="gDQBgJ"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="OwTIBm" /> <h3 id="dGnASf"><strong>This carafe set shaped like a giant cherry </strong></h3> <div id="fO23hh"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="mkIhwX" /> <h3 id="B5Ym0Y"><strong>Blue velvet…</strong></h3> <div id="ISee8q"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="vKXFEW" /> <h3 id="mL6N8q"><strong>A carafe that doubles as a sculpture </strong></h3> <div id="o5LTXo"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="c2m93v" /> <h2 id="sfjUFz"><strong>The Best Bedside Carafes Under $100</strong></h2> <h3 id="qu1awE"><strong>Amber is the color of your energy </strong></h3> <div id="94KYOK"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="XaQDYS" /> <h3 id="j1znNs"><strong>A recycled glass set from Bogotá </strong></h3> <div id="wwKLM1"><div></div></div> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="6cDCLJ" /> <h3 id="vAGn7V"><strong>You’re here for the classics</strong></h3> <div id="UtjqKd"><div></div></div> <p id="z0lEL3">Cheers to more hydration. </p> <hr class="p-entry-hr" id="xh4i2a" /> <aside id="0nKayn"><div></div></aside>
