How to pick the perfect bedside table

Bedside tables are essential components of bedroom furniture, as they anchor the hero piece in your room; the bed. Tables at the side of the bed typically provide a convenient place for you to keep must-haves and an essential light source. They also finesse the bedroom style you are setting. 

Whether you're looking for a small table next to the bed or a nightstand with some storage, consider the contemporary options available to suit your needs. From luxury wood design side tables, to modern marble top and cage side tables. There are aesthetic fits to uplift your bedroom decor perfectly. With a styled night table, you can ensure that both form and function are taken care of in your bedroom. 

It’s not about the side table height, it’s about the proportions

If you have a King bed compared to a double, then a large bedside table would be in proportion with the Kind Bed. Whereas a narrower bedside table would not look out of proportion, with a Queen or Double bed.

Different heights add interest for visual impact, you can layer up the height with several books and decor objects. More importantly is creating the right proportion and vibe. The white marble top cage side tables used as nightstands work well, as they create a light and breezy coastal comforting appeal.

For the purposes of property styling, our Sydney property stylists recommend tables at both sides of the bed. This creates visual balance and harmony, which add to a positive first impression of the bedrooms. Additionally, in Feng Shui, 2 bedside tables evoke a couple’s unity, serenity and positivity.

What are the bedside table trends for 2023?

Property styling must haves for 2023 are natural finishes featuring an open appearance. Bedside tables are also moving in this direction, where they feature open spaces or alcoves, rather than 3 closing drawers to ground level. 

Why choose a bedside table with natural finishes?

Contemporary tables at the side of the bed differ this year with feature open bases or stand legs. This conveys a less cluttered and more open appearance, which lifts and freshens a bedroom making it feel larger. This enhances the appeal, because it makes you feel relaxed, calm and comfortable - and lightens the bedroom atmosphere.

By selecting a natural finish bedside table you’re opting for a healthy bedroom

There are a lot of side bed tables to choose from and it’s best to avoid wood veneer and go natural. As wood veneers are more susceptible to water damage, cracks and peels. They cannot be repaired, plus they also generate negative emissions. Therefore it’s wiser and safer to use natural wood or natural materials close to the bedside.
