Your bedside is the last thing you see at night and the first in the morning, so it deserves the right table. A bed side table holds the lamp, the glass of water, the book and the phone charger, and a good one makes a bedroom feel calm and finished. This collection offers bedroom side tables, night stands and bedside tables in white, oak, black and wood finishes, with and without drawers.

Choosing a Bed Side Table

• Height: aim for a top level with, or slightly below, the mattress.
• Width: leave space to walk around the bed and open doors or wardrobes.
• Storage: a bed side table with drawers hides chargers, glasses and creams.
• Style: match the headboard or contrast it with a different wood or colour.

Drawers, Shelves and Wall-Mounted Designs

A bed side table with 3 drawers suits larger bedrooms with plenty of belongings. A small bed side table or a single-drawer design works in a compact room. Wall-mounted bedside tables free up floor space and make cleaning underneath easy, though they need suitable wall fixings.

Colours That Work in Bedrooms

White bed side tables look fresh and quiet, wooden and oak ones add warmth, black ones create contrast and a modern edge, and grey blends well with soft furnishings. Consider buying a matching pair for a symmetrical look, or two different tables for an informal, curated feel.

Bedside Practicalities

Make sure the surface can take your lamp base and an alarm clock, and look for a cable-friendly layout if you charge devices overnight. Read each listing for dimensions, materials and assembly details.
