Nightstands & Bedside Tables
Nightstands aren’t just furniture — they’re the trusted companion that completes your bedroom and elevates your nightly routine.
Nightstands & Bedside Tables
Nightstands That Anchor Your Bedroom
A bedroom without a thoughtfully chosen nightstand is like a story without a compelling plot. It’s the quiet hero of your room, holding everything from your late-night reads to that mysterious water glass you swear appeared out of nowhere.
The perfect nightstand or side table can be the difference between a bedroom that feels lived-in and one that feels staged. This is about more than storage — it’s about creating moments of ease, comfort, and a little bit of magic right next to your bed.
Match Your Nightstand’s Soul with the Perfect Material
Nightstands aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your bedroom. That’s why we curate pieces that speak your room’s language — whether through wood grain, resin artistry, or a tasteful blend of materials.
- Wood Nightstands: Timeless, tactile, and whispering warmth — our wood options turn your bedside into a natural retreat.
- Mixed Materials: Because sometimes contrast makes all the difference — expect sleek metal legs, glass surfaces, or resin accents teamed with wood or veneer.
- Resin and Artistic Finishes: For those who crave something a little unexpected, resin nightstands bring unique texture and personality to your space.
These aren’t just nightstands — they’re carefully considered companions to your bed frame and dresser, designed to coalesce into a room that’s effortlessly cohesive.
Size and Scale: The Nightstand Equation
The perfect nightstand isn’t just about looks — it’s about feeling right. Size and height need to be in harmony with your bed and space, so every reach for your phone or reading glasses feels instinctive, not a stretch.
- Small Rooms, Big Impact: Narrow, vertical, or even floating designs maximize function where square footage is tight — no cramped corners here.
- Height Matters: The golden rule? The tabletop should be level with or slightly above your mattress top. Measure from floor to mattress surface — this is your sweet spot for ergonomic bliss.
Think of it as the silent choreography between bed and bedside — you want ease, not awkward stretching or bending, every single night.
FAQ
What is the standard nightstand height next to a bed?
Aim for your nightstand surface to sit flush with or just a few inches above your mattress. This height makes grabbing nighttime essentials seamless and comfortable — no awkward reaches or spills required.
Can I use a side or end table as a nightstand?
You can, but be mindful of height and function. Nightstands are purpose-built for bedrooms, often featuring drawers or storage compartments that end tables may lack. If an end table matches your mattress height and aesthetic, it can work in a pinch — but true nightstands excel at bedtime practicality.
What’s the best nightstand for small bedrooms?
Go narrow, minimalist, or consider nesting tables that tuck away when not needed. Floating wall-mounted nightstands also free up floor space without sacrificing style or function.
