How high should a bedside table be?

Bedside tables should be either the same height as the mattress or 5-10cm higher. They should not be lower. It is much easier to reach across or slightly upwards than down. Always read the individual product specifications and take measurements to ensure that you have sufficient space for your bedside table.

How many drawers should a bedside table have?

That’s entirely up to you! Between 1 or 3 drawers is typical for a bedside table, but it will depend on how much extra bedroom storage you would like. If you are simply looking for somewhere to place a lamp and water glass, you might choose a simple and small bedside table with no drawers at all.

How to decorate a bedside table?

A bedside table is the perfect spot to showcase your personal style in your bedroom. One key thing to keep in mind is to avoid cluttering your bedside table with too many items. Instead, opt for a few carefully chosen pieces that reflect your personality and add to the aesthetic of your bedroom. Consider adding a vase of your favourite flowers, an on-trend lamp or a few books or magazines for a stylish and functional bedside display.
