Nightstands – Comfort and Order by the Bed
A nightstand is a small but very practical piece of furniture that organizes the space next to your bed. It provides a place for a lamp, phone, book, or glasses, while also contributing to the coherence and aesthetics of the entire bedroom.
At Eye on Design, you will find nightstands and side tables in various sizes, colors, and styles – including both standing and wall-mounted models. The collection includes furniture suited for modern, classic, and minimalist interiors.
Which Nightstand Should You Choose?
The height of the nightstand should ideally match the height of the mattress – a surface close to the top edge of the bed makes it easier to reach for small items. Pay attention to the number of drawers, the opening mechanism, and the depth of the furniture to ensure it does not obstruct movement around the bed.
In a smaller bedroom, a narrow nightstand or a wall-mounted model works well, as it reveals the floor and visually lightens the space. In a larger area, you can place two symmetrical nightstands on either side of the bed.
Standing and Wall-Mounted Nightstands
Standing models offer more storage space and a stable surface, while wall-mounted versions make cleaning the floor easier and look great in modern, minimalist bedrooms. The choice should depend on the amount of items to store and the style of the other furniture.
Nightstands should ideally match the style of the dresser and other furniture in the bedroom to create a cohesive composition throughout the space.
Nightstand in a Cohesive Bedroom Arrangement
It’s a good idea to pair the nightstand with a bed and headboard of similar style, repeating the wood tone, color of the fronts, or type of handles. A table lamp or bedside lamp providing soft light for reading works well on the surface.
Additional shelves and display cabinets as well as dressers will provide more storage capacity in the bedroom, creating an organized storage system together.
Nightstands – Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most comfortable height for a nightstand?
The most comfortable height is when the surface of the nightstand is close to the top edge of the mattress. This makes it easier to reach for small items without getting up.
Should I choose a standing or wall-mounted nightstand?
A wall-mounted nightstand makes cleaning easier and visually lightens a small bedroom, while a standing one offers more storage space and a stable surface.
Do nightstands have to match the dresser?
They do not have to be from the same series, but consistency is easier to achieve by repeating the wood tone, color of the fronts, or style of the handles.
What nightstand is best for a small bedroom?
A narrow nightstand or a wall-mounted model that does not block the passage and visually enlarges the space works well in a small bedroom.
