Night stands are an underrated piece of bedroom furniture. Offering you a place to add task lighting such as a table lamp, a spot to set down a book or cup of tea as you get ready for bed, or a space to keep all your nighttime essentials close at hand, night stands are a small but crucial element of your bedroom setup.
Storage area for items needed in bed
Bedroom night stands are essential storage spaces for specific items that have to be present in proximity to the bed. These include items like a table lamp which may be used for reading to provide sufficient light. The lamp may be conveniently switched off before sleeping without getting up from the bed. Storing books that may be used to read in bed is essentially done within a bedside table. This is because the books may be accessed anytime during the night. Also, electronics such as personal cell phones may be accessed in bed if they are kept at hand, such as on a bedside table. Spectacles are another essential personal item that may be kept on the bedside table to be used at any time during any emergency.
Enhances bedroom aesthetics
Beautiful bedroom night stands can amp up the bedroom's look in an instant. Especially if the design of the bedside table is similar to the design of the bed, then the bedroom aesthetics are improved considerably. If the other furniture is vintage, then a vintage-style bedside table will suit the bedroom better than a contemporary design table.
Decorative charm to the sombre bedroom ambience
Having a nigh stand on which there is a decorative bedside lamp can boost the ambience within the bedroom. The table may be used to keep decorative items in the bedroom, such as vases, glow lights, candles and showpieces. Photographs of family members and memorable times are a fond sight for most people. Some people who have difficulty sleeping and need aroma therapy instruments can also accommodate these items on the bedside table. These aroma-releasing instruments close to the bed are also essential to induce sleep. These may be kept conveniently on the night table.
Convenience for essential items
Some essential items, such as medicines to be taken before bedtime, may be kept conveniently on the bedside table. A lamp, torchlight or emergency light can also be handy at night without travelling in the dark searching for the light switch. Some persons who thirst at night and need water can also keep a glass of water beside the bed on the night stand conveniently. Whether a short night stand or a wood night stand one chooses, the essential items may be easily accessed whenever required during the night.

Hardwood
Hardwood bedside tables are a classic side table addition to a bedroom. They are available in a range of woods, including teak, mahogany, oak and maple, with their assembly material making them well-suited for busy bedroom environments.
Rattan
The lightweight nature of rattan makes them the perfect small bedside table; like hardwood tables, they're well suited to areas where space is at a premium, such as a small guest room.
Medium density fiberboard
Mdf bedside tables tend to have a particularly smooth, flat surface due to their composite wood fibre construction. The addition of other materials, such as resin and wax, makes them resistant to warping, splitting, and shrinking caused by temperature changes.
Metal
Made from sturdy materials like steel, aluminium, iron, brass, or chrome, they are designed to be both functional and resilient over time. Metal surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only a quick wipe with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best. This convenience makes them an ideal choice for busy individuals or those who prefer fuss-free furniture upkeep.
Glass
Equally at home in a bedroom, bathroom or living room glass top bedside tables are versatile in their design. Their transparent nature creates a sense of lightness and openness, making them visually appealing. Glass surfaces also have a reflective quality that allows them to bounce light around a room, resulting in enhanced brightness and illumination.
Marble
Marble bedside tables provide a versatile and stylish option for enhancing your bedroom decor.The durability of marble ensures long-lasting functionality, providing a sturdy surface for your bedside essentials. Simple regular wipe-downs with a damp cloth are usually sufficient to keep the surface clean.
Take everything out at once
As with decluttering a closet or organizing a dresser, the best way to approach decluttering a nightstand is to take everything out at once and lay them where you can see them. Start by sorting items into piles, such as items to keep, items to donate, and items to throw away.
Clean your nightstand while it is clear
When faced with a clear and empty nightstand, shine the area while you can,clean the entire nightstand so that you have a fresh environment to reset – this includes inside any cabinets or drawers too, not just the top!
Reconsider what you class as an essential
The most difficult part of decluttering a nightstand is understanding which items not to store on your nightstand, and what you consider to be essential.
Banish your phone
It is common to see a phone charger tucked somewhere nearby a nightstand, sometimes even a laptop charger, however, experts suggest decluttering major tech from your nightstand during your clearout. Not only do cables look untidy and induce stress, but blue light is one of the main barriers to sleeping better and improving sleep.
Think about what you need easy access to
Keeping fewer items out on the nightstand will reduce visual clutter,a good idea to keep regularly used essentials like your lamp, glasses, and maybe a book on the table itself, but anything else such as nightly medications or pens and diaries should be concealed.
Get the nightstand dimensions right
The most important part of choosing the right nightstand is to make sure you pick one with dimensions that are in proportion to your bed frame.
1. Nightstand dimensions by bed size
2. Bedside table sizes by height
3. Nightstand height is typically divided into three categories: Low, standard, and tall.
Low: Usually lower than 23 inches high, low nightstands pair best with modern platform beds.
Standard: Standard nightstands are between 23 and 28 inches tall. These nightstands are perfect for the typical bed frame, as the top of most mattresses clock in at 24 inches from the ground.
Tall: Tall nightstands are greater than 30 inches high and work best with lofted bed frames and beds that have box springs or thick mattress toppers.
Bedside table sizes by width
Narrow: Narrow nightstands are typically between 12 and 18 inches wide, and pair best with twin beds.
Standard: Standard size nightstands are between 18 and 24 inches wide, and are best for double and queen size beds.
Wide: Wide nightstands are over 30 inches wide and pair well with king or california king size beds.
Consider style and design
When purchasing a new nightstand, consider the visual impact it will make in your bedroom.
Nightstands come in many different materials and colors that will compliment the space in different ways. For example, if you’re going for a glamorous vibe, a high gloss lacquer nightstand could be a good option. If you’re going for a more rustic look, however, you might consider a more textured solid wood nightstand.
Consider the proportions of the room
Next, consider your space. While dual nightstands are always ideal, it’s important to consider the size of the room to ensure adding two nightstands won’t make the space feel small and cluttered.
Think about function
If you minimalists with no ‘stuff’, an open shelf type of nightstand might work,if you have tons of things they like to have bedside, a drawer might be a better option.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match
Although there are plenty of bedroom sets on the market, don’t be afraid to mix and match your bed and nightstand.
