Guide to Picking the Right Bedside Table

There are various factors you must consider before choosing the right bedside table. The right decor and furniture are essential for your bedroom. If you want to change your bedside table, consider the existing decor in your room. Here are a few factors you should keep in mind so that you can choose the right bedside table.

Function

Consider your usage style. If you like reading before bed and have a lamp, your side table should be roomy enough to accommodate it. Your bedside table should complement your nighttime routine. For those who keep a journal or a dream diary, you can now keep notebooks close to you with a bedside table.

Size and Storage

Choosing the right height and width is key when it comes to bedside tables. If you like having a stack of books or magazines by your side, consider getting a sturdier wooden bedside table with storage options like shelves. However, if you prefer keeping only your alarm clock or phone beside you, pick a floating bedside shelf or a single-shelf unit.

Design and Colour

Your bedroom decor should be cohesive for a visually appealing look. If your bedroom decor leans towards black and grey, a black bedside table is your best bet. On the other hand, if your bed and dresser are made with lighter-toned wood, complement them with a wooden bedside table. Keep in mind the overall design of your bedroom. The colour palette should be cohesive and complementary.

FAQS

What are the benefits of Bedside Tables?

Bedside tables are placed adjacent to the bed and are used to store essentials like alarm clocks, mobile phones, and night lamps for a seamless morning and bedtime routine. This nifty piece of furniture ensures your bed stays clutter-free and also adds a touch of visual appeal to your bedroom decor. This piece of furniture comes in various storage options as well as designs – from elaborate to minimalist – to complement every decor style. Enjoy your bedtime reads and keep your to-be-read stack on hand with a spacious side table. You can also keep a glass of water to quench late night thirst easily. For the nights when you are too tired or lazy to move, you can store your makeup wipes and skincare basics to ensure self-care. The bedside table’s drawers are often used to keep chargers for your tablet and phone, so they are easily accessible when needed. What is more, you can place a diffuser with your favourite essential oil on your side table to ensure you have a restful night of sleep.

Should bedside tables be higher than the bed?

Generally, bedside tables should be at the same level as the top of your mattress. This provides better ergonomics and also works well visually. You can also opt for a bedside table that is a few inches taller than your bed. However, make sure it is not lower than your bed, as keeping things reachable helps avoid objects from falling off and breaking. Furthermore, it is easier to reach for objects on a slightly higher surface than below the bed when you are standing or are laying in bed. Most bedside tables that are readily available are 24 to 27 inches in height, making them level with the top of the mattress.
