Nightstands and Bedside Tables

A modern nightstand or bedside table is an essential element in creating a stylish and functional bedroom. More than just a place to rest your book and phone, it serves as a convenient surface for a lamp, a charging station for your devices, and a storage solution for your bedside essentials. With a variety of designs, materials, and features available, you can find the perfect mid-century or rattan-style nightstand to complement your personal style and enhance your sleep sanctuary.

Types of Bedside Tables

Bedside tables are generally freestanding cabinet units with a flat surface for storing items you may need on hand during the night. They can also come with other inbuilt storage, such as drawers and cupboards under the surface, generally for larger items or things you don’t need quite as regularly.

• Bedside Tables with Storage: Keep your bedside essentials organised and within reach with a bedside table that offers convenient storage. These typically feature drawers or cupboards to store books, electronics, and other personal items, helping you maintain a clutter-free sleep space.
• Open Shelf Bedside Tables: For a lighter, more minimalist look, consider a bedside table with open shelves. These offer easy access to frequently used items and provide a space to display decorative accents.
• C-Shaped Bedside Tables: These unique, narrow tables feature a C-shaped design that allows the base to slide under your bed, bringing the tabletop closer to you. They're perfect for smaller bedrooms or those who prefer to have their essentials within arm's reach.
• Cylindrical Bedside Tables: Add a touch of modern elegance to your bedroom with a cylindrical bedside table. These round tables offer a softer aesthetic compared to traditional rectangular designs and can be a great way to introduce curves into your bedroom décor.

Beyond traditional bedside tables, we also offer modern bedside tables with unique designs, such as C-side tables and narrow bedside tables that offer a convenient nook for tucking closer to your bed and cylindrical side tables that add a touch of modern elegance to your bedroom in Australia.

Colours and Materials

The right materials and colours can enhance the style of your bedside table and complement your bedroom décor.

• Wood: Bedside tables crafted from wood offer a timeless and versatile option that can blend seamlessly with various design styles. Choose from a variety of wood types like acacia and grained bentwood, and finishes to match your existing bedroom furniture and create a cohesive look in your living space.
• Accents: Consider adding accents like metal handles or legs to your nightstand table for a touch of contrast and visual interest. These accents can complement other metallic elements in your bedroom, such as lighting fixtures or décor, creating a sense of harmony and cohesion.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure your bedside table stays looking its best and lasts for years to come. Here are a few tips:

• Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For spills or stains, wipe immediately with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Wood Care: If your bedside table is made of wood, consider using a wood polish or conditioner periodically to maintain its lustre and protect the finish.
• Protecting Surfaces: Use coasters and placemats to protect the tabletop from scratches, heat marks, and spills. Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface of your bedside table.
• Hardware: Check and tighten any screws or hardware periodically to ensure stability.

Storage and Accessories

One of the primary purposes of bed tables is storage. The tabletop is a great place to keep the book you are reading, your phone, a cup of morning coffee or other handy items. Bedside tables with drawers and cupboards offer more much needed bedroom storage under the surface, where you can keep clothes, magazines, chargers and more. Or you can choose a simpler design with just a countertop, with nesting table options also available in Australia.
