The first step
But before buying a bedside table, you must determine whether you will buy only 1 piece or a pair. For bedrooms, the type of shared room has a nightstand on each side of a table to cater to the individual storage needs of the sleepers. If you want 2 bedsides in your bedroom, then you have to pay attention to the available space.
Type of Bedside Table
Every furniture store must have many different types and models of bedside tables. Whether it’s the difference in style, color, material, and size, it depends on your needs. Here are some types that you can find at your favorite furniture store:
Bedside Cabinet
If you need more than just a tabletop for your lamps and knick-knacks, a bedside with drawers is a piece you will enjoy in your bedroom. The bedside cabinets are equipped with drawer combinations that give you plenty of storage space. This is a great solution if you need to store more stuff in your room and hide your clutter.
Open-shape Bedside Table
This nightstand features a tiered design to provide open storage space for your books, bedroom essentials, and other small to medium-sized items. This bedside table has a lightweight frame design that makes the room look wider and less crowded. In addition, a nightstand with 2 open spaces can also be an alternative choice for an open-shape nightstand. If you’re a fan of creative storage, this open bedside table is a great choice for your space.
Pedestal Bedside Table
Another lightweight piece of furniture to prop up your bed, the pedestal bedside table brings a contemporary appeal to your bedroom with its lightweight design and neutral color options. Some pedestal nightstands lean more towards the traditional side with their wooden build and intricate details.
What to look for when buying a bedside table?
Now you know what type of bedside you want and how many pieces are enough for your bedroom. After that, let’s discuss what considerations are before buying a bedside table or nightstand.
Size of the bedside table
Not all bedside tables are the same. For that, before you buy a nightstand, make sure you have measured the available space in your room. Not only the length and width but the height that fits the height of your bed. The general rule when deciding the size is to look for a piece that is about the same height as the top of your mattress. It’s also important to consider the size of your decors or items when looking for a bedside table to ensure that everything is proportionate.
The material used for the bedside table
In addition to size, it’s a good idea to choose a material that not only looks good with your bed but also with the entire room. When choosing materials, pay attention to style and care. Because some materials are easy to care for, others require more maintenance.
Storage requirements
Do you need a good surface area to keep small items in place, or are you planning to use your bedside table as extra dedicated storage in your bedroom? If you plan to do the latter, opt for a nightstand with drawers and doors. To use your nightstand for medium-sized items, you can upgrade to a dresser or block-style nightstand with more storage to offer. For your lights and alarm clock, you’ll also need to choose a nightstand with enough surface area to keep things organized.
