Bedside table, While the bed is always the most important piece in any bedroom, the room just isn't complete without at least one bedside table (or two if you have a partner!). Types of Bedside Tables. Bedside tables come in a variety of sizes and shapes and may have any number of features. A few examples: Nightstands (small, simple pieces designed to a lamp and clock). Simple tables (may be designed for any room in the house, but small enough for bedside use). Bedside cabinets (small chests of drawers or cabinets with drawers and other storage areas). Your choice will depend upon your budget, the size of your room, the size of your bed, and your storage needs. Shopping for Bedside Tables. Bedside tables serve two functions. They provide a surface to place necessary items like a lamp, book, glass of water or whatever else you may want to keep close by the bed (many also have storage), and they also help anchor the bed so it doesn't look like it's just floating in the room. Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping for or accessorizing bedside tables.
Design a spot where you can sink down and relax in a comfortable armchair. In a small bedroom where space is tight, situate a chair with a small footprint into an empty corner to carve out a spot for reading and lounging. Slide a small storage ottoman against the chair so you can stretch out your legs and relax. Stash reading and work-related materials inside the ottoman to keep them readily available when you need them. Drape a cozy furniture throw over the back of your armchair for chilly days. With space at a minimum, corners have to be cut — four of them to be exact. Instead of trying to fit a nightstand and desk together in one room, take one table completely out of the equation and set up a small sized desk bedside instead.
