Bedside Tables FAQs

1. What is the ideal height for bedside drawers or cabinets?

Ideally, your bedside table should be around the same height as the top of your mattress, or 5-10cm taller at most. The average height of a bedside table is 60-71cm, but be sure to check the dimensions of your chosen unit for the perfect fit.

2. How do I style my bedside table?

Bedside tables offer plenty of opportunities to customise your sleeping space and add some personality to your room. Try getting creative by adding candle holders to your lighting setup, or use small vases and artificial plants to add depth to your décor. If your room doesn’t have enough wall space for a clock, you could also give your bedside table a handy alarm clock.

You could also use your side table to incorporate recent bedroom trends into your design. Try mixing a traditional design with modern elements for a stylish blend of eras, or add some eye-catching statement storage to your bedside area.

3. What is the difference between a bedside table and a nightstand?

The terms ‘nightstand’ and ‘bedside table’ are often used interchangeably, but they originate from different types of furniture. Historically, a nightstand prioritised storage for things like candles, chamber pots, and drinks, while bedside tables focused more on form than function. Nowadays, though, you can typically use both to refer to any small table to place by your bed.

4. Should I buy two matching bedside tables, or can they be different?

While matching your bedside tables can give your room a sense of balance and cohesion in its design, using mismatched units can also have its advantages. If you and your partner have different storage needs, for example, or if you’re aiming to divide your bedroom up into sections, consider using different designs on each side of your bed.

5. How much storage do I need in my bedside cabinet?

Bedside tables are great for space-saving storage, but it’s important to consider your room's dimensions to ensure your chosen unit will fit. If you’re looking for kids’ bedroom ideas, for example, try using a handy 1-drawer design for convenient storage. For larger rooms, you can opt for 2- or 3-drawer designs to stow more clutter away.

6. What bedside cabinet styles are best for a wall with electrical sockets?

If you’re looking to use bedside table lamps for light reading, or if you want to charge your phone at night, you’ll need access to a wall socket. In these cases, bedside tables with open shelves can provide the space you need for cable management, as larger, bulkier designs can block your sockets and complicate your design.

7. Can I use a bedside table instead of a chest of drawers for clothes storage?

A chest of drawers is typically recommended for storing most of your clothes, as bulkier items could take up valuable space in the small drawers of a bedside table. However, you can use your bedside drawers to store socks, underwear, or pyjamas in a pinch.

8. Which bedside cabinet material should I choose for my bedroom?

The best bedside tables are made from sturdy materials that can withstand repeated use, such as natural oak wood or those with marble tops. Your choice of material will also affect your cleaning routine, as different designs require varying levels of maintenance. Check out our guide to caring for your bedroom furniture for more info.
