Bedside Tables for Every Storage Need
Open-Shelf Bedside Tables
Open-shelf bedside tables make frequently used items easy to see and reach. They are ideal for books, phones and other everyday essentials you want close at hand, while the open section gives the furniture a lighter, less enclosed appearance beside the bed. Compact options such as the Mini Chestnut Curve Open and Mini Oak-ish Classic Open are useful examples of this practical format.
Bedside Tables with Drawers
If you prefer to keep personal items out of sight, a bedside table with drawers offers more concealed storage and helps maintain a tidier surface. One, two and three-drawer configurations provide different levels of capacity, from somewhere to organise smaller essentials to more generous storage where space within the bedroom is limited elsewhere.
Floating Bedside Tables
Floating bedside tables create a wall-mounted appearance with a reduced visual footprint. Keeping the floor underneath open can make the area around the bed feel less crowded, while the streamlined format works especially well alongside contemporary beds. They are a useful choice when you want practical bedside storage without the presence of a full freestanding cabinet. This makes it easier to match the storage format to your everyday routine.
Find a Bedside Table to Suit Your Bedroom Style
Bedside tables can have a noticeable influence on the character of a bedroom, so it is worth choosing a design that relates naturally to the bed and surrounding furniture. Across bedside tables contemporary design can take several forms, from clean-lined floating pieces and smooth drawer fronts to compact minimalist shapes. Curved designs soften straighter furniture and introduce a more sculptural silhouette, while Nordic-inspired details and lighter oak-ish finishes can create a relaxed, understated feel.
Warmer Chestnut tones, painted finishes and decorative details bring greater depth or contrast. More traditional pieces offer familiar proportions and detailing, while statement designs can be used when you want the bedside furniture to contribute more strongly to the overall look of the room. Designer bedside tables do not need to be overly elaborate; shape, proportion, drawer configuration, legs, handles and finish can all give a piece its own identity.
If you like the considered feel of a bespoke bedside table, selecting these characteristics carefully can create a similarly tailored result. From modern bedside tables and contemporary bedside tables to more decorative luxury bedside tables, the genuine design variation available makes it easier to choose a piece that suits the visual character of your bedroom.
Choosing the Right Bedside Table for Your Bed
Start by considering the bedside table in relation to the height and proportions of your bed. A tabletop that sits around the height of the mattress is usually comfortable to reach when sitting or lying down, although the best position will depend on the bed frame and mattress depth.
Measure the width available beside the bed as well as the overall height. Allow enough room between the table and surrounding furniture, wardrobes, doors or walkways, and make sure drawers can open fully where applicable. Available dimensions vary considerably, from compact mini bedside tables to larger cabinets, so checking the individual measurements is important before choosing.
Room layout will also determine whether one or two bedside tables make sense. Two can frame a centrally positioned bed and provide useful storage on both sides. In a smaller bedroom, or where one side of the bed sits close to a wall or another piece of furniture, a single well-proportioned table may be the better fit.
Materials and Finishes for Luxury Bedside Tables
The material and finish of a bedside table can change how warm, light, traditional or contemporary the bedroom feels. Wooden bedside tables bring natural-looking texture into the space, with selected pieces available in confirmed mango wood as well as Chestnut and oak-ish finishes. Warmer tones can add depth beside neutral or upholstered beds, while lighter finishes often create a softer, more understated appearance.
Painted options offer a different character and can be used either to blend with the surrounding palette or introduce deliberate contrast. Selected designs also feature brass details, including handles or decorative accents, which can add warmth and connect visually with lamps, mirrors or other metal finishes elsewhere in the room.
Materials vary between individual products, so always check the product specification if a particular timber or construction is important to you. Solid wood, mango wood or oak should not be assumed across every design; these descriptions should only be applied where the material is specifically confirmed for that particular bedside table.
Creating a Coordinated Bedroom Look
A bedside table can either complement the bed closely or introduce intentional contrast. Similar wood tones create a more continuous look, while a darker Chestnut finish beside a lighter upholstered bed can give the arrangement greater definition. Metal details can also be repeated through handles, frames or bedside lamps to help separate pieces feel connected.
Consider how the bedside furniture relates to the rest of the room as well. Coordinating selected finishes or design details with wardrobes, dressing tables and chests of drawers can create a cohesive scheme without requiring every item to come from an exact matching set. A bedside lamp then adds another opportunity to repeat a material, shape or colour while giving the table useful height and helping to balance the bed, particularly when a pair of bedside tables is used.
Bedside Tables for Smaller Bedrooms
Small bedside tables are useful where floor space is limited and a larger cabinet would feel out of proportion. Compact and mini designs provide a useful surface and storage without taking up unnecessary width, while narrower profiles can fit comfortably between the bed and nearby furniture.
Floating designs are another strong option for bedside tables for small bedrooms because the open floor area underneath reduces visual bulk. Open-shelf styles can feel lighter for the same reason and keep frequently used items easy to reach. Where more storage is needed, look for designs that use vertical space through drawers or shelving rather than increasing the footprint.
Whatever style you choose, maintain enough clearance around the sleeping area to move comfortably and use surrounding furniture properly. Compact bedside tables should support the room layout rather than crowd it, so check the available gap and the dimensions of the individual piece before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bedside Tables
What is the difference between a bedside table and a bedside cabinet?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a bedside cabinet generally refers to a more enclosed design with drawers or cupboard-style storage. A bedside table may be more open, with a shelf, drawer or simply a useful top surface.
Should bedside tables be the same height as the bed?
They do not need to be exactly the same height, but a tabletop close to the height of the mattress is usually comfortable and practical to reach from the bed.
How high should a bedside table be?
There is no single ideal height because beds and mattresses vary. Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress and compare this with the bedside table dimensions before choosing.
Do bedside tables need to match the bed?
No. They can match the bed for a coordinated look or deliberately contrast with it. The important factors are proportion, finish, shape and how the pieces work together within the wider scheme.
Are bedside tables with drawers better than open shelves?
It depends on your storage needs. Drawers keep personal items concealed and organised, while open shelves give faster access to books, phones and other everyday essentials and usually have a lighter appearance.
Are floating bedside tables suitable for small bedrooms?
Yes. Their wall-mounted appearance keeps the floor underneath open and reduces visual bulk, making floating bedside tables particularly useful where available floor space is limited.
How much space should I leave beside my bed?
Leave enough room to move comfortably and to open drawers or nearby furniture without obstruction. The amount required will depend on the room layout and the width of the bedside table.
Should I have one or two bedside tables?
Two bedside tables can create balance and provide storage on both sides of the bed. One may be more practical in a smaller room or where the bed sits close to a wall.
