A bedside table is one of those items that are chosen both for their functionality and for the decor of a bedroom. Practically speaking, the bedside table or nightstand is a useful piece of furniture, suitable for both an adult’s and a child’s bedroom. Aesthetically, this piece should match the style of the room.
What is the best bedside table?
The best bedside table is the one that best meets your needs. This small piece of furniture borrows the term "chevet," which means the head of the bed. The expression "being at someone's bedside" means staying close to someone to assist them. Thus, the primary function of the bedside table is to be useful to you.
To achieve this, you need to choose a model whose technical characteristics match your needs:
With or without drawers? And if so, how many? With one drawer, it offers storage space. With multiple drawers, it serves as a mini dresser. Without a drawer, it's perfect for limited use.
What height, width, and depth? It all depends on your storage needs and the available dimensions of the room.
What volume to choose for the drawers? Larger volumes are useful for storing various types of objects. Smaller volumes are suitable for storing fewer items.
To place or to hang: what to choose? Placed on the floor, it's the most common product. A wall-mounted nightstand, on the other hand, is perfect for small spaces.
With or without a shelf? A model with a shelf makes it easier to store books, notebooks, tablets, etc. Without a shelf, it allows for more classic storage (glasses, personal items, etc.).
What height should you choose?
A nightstand can be chosen taller, the same height, or lower than the bed. It all depends on your habits and how you use it. Of equal or taller height, it is more advantageous for reading, placing or taking a book, for example. Lower, it allows you to have all objects within reach while lying down. It is suitable as a child's bedside table, especially if it has patterns that match their age.
What design, material, and color for a nightstand?
When it comes to design, opinions always differ, and for a good reason, it’s a matter of taste! The essential thing is to choose a nightstand that meets your needs and matches your preferences. Moreover, the current or upcoming collection follows the latest decor trends. And of course, make sure it harmonizes with the style of the bedroom.
Scandinavian, it brings a cozy and warm touch. Industrial, it remains in sober tones and clean lines. Zen, it is minimalist while highlighting natural materials. In terms of materials, you have the choice between:
Wood, bamboo, and rattan are perfect for natural, Scandinavian, and Zen styles, bringing warmth and authenticity.
Metal and glass are ideal materials for contemporary, industrial, and modern styles, for example.
Melamine and PVC often display more affordable prices and offer a nice decorative aspect.
As for colors, you can choose between neutral colors (white, gray, black) for a modern and contemporary style. Warm colors (beige, yellow, orange, red) go well with Scandinavian, natural, Zen, and vintage styles. As for cool colors (blue, green, purple), they suit industrial and vintage styles.
