Why We Love Nightstands

When it comes to a well-designed bedroom, a modern nightstand is a must-have to help round out the decor. For functional and highly-useful storage of reading glasses, books and other bedside essentials or as an eye-catching piece of contemporary design, any of these nightstands are guaranteed to add a lot of character. Offered in a variety of styles ranging from rustic wood nightstands to color-popping options that stand out among any bedroom decor, there's a nightstand here you'll love adding to your room.

Where Nightstands Work Best

Nightstands and bedside tables find their home in the bedroom where they are found acting as part of the supporting cast of furniture in the area. Most contemporary nightstands offer a streamlined look with one or two drawers for storage and a tabletop for your bedside lamp, current reading material and other items. But a nightstand offers much more than just its primary function of storage. These nightstand tables are made with great design in mind and are meant to stand out as a piece of furniture you will enjoy showing off. And when paired with a similarly styled clothing dresser or credenza, you'll be pleasantly satisfied with a well-rounded bedroom.

A Nightstand For Every Style

Styles of nightstands are wide-ranging, including those inspired by the middle of the century to rustic wood designs and tables made to fit an industrial aesthetic. From black or white nightstand tables to those bursting with vibrant color, there's an option perfectly suited for your room's decor.

Choosing the Best Nightstand

As accent furniture that won't be the focal point of the room, choosing a nightstand is relatively easy. First, identify the style you need for the room. If the room is filled with modern lighting and decor, opt for a clean-lined nightstand. Or, choose a wooden bedside table to accommodate any wood tones present in the area. You'll also need to consider the size of the table. Do you need one drawer, two drawers or more? Depending on how much you plan to store in the nightstand, you may require a larger table. Remember to keep an eye out for height, width and depth dimensions in your selection. For redecorating your bedroom in one fell swoop, find nightstands and bed tables that are part of a bigger furniture family also including bed frames, dressers and chests.

Other Considerations

A nightstand is just one component of your bedroom furniture arrangement. The room also benefits from a clothing dresser, credenza, media cabinet, lounge chair or rocking chair and possibly a bench. And if you need to refresh where you sleep, consider a new bed frame too. Modern beds offer unmatched comfort and style you'll enjoy pairing with any of the nightstands found in this assortment. Finally, with a mix of well-chosen furniture in place, consider upgrading your lighting with a few bedroom lamps. Bedside table lamps offer bright and focused task lighting while a pair floor lamps in the corner of the room provide a spread of ambient illumination.
