Choose black bedside table for a warm, inviting look
Black bedside tables set the mood
Elevate your bedroom furniture collection with sophisticated black bedside tables. Pair them with your bed frame for a room full of confidence and character. Add a set of glowing bedside lamps to create an inviting, romantic setting. Beautiful black compliments everything that surrounds it and ties the room together in a sophisticated way. Bedsides are typically your most stylish piece of furniture and will transform the room. They are a great way to refresh the space and try the latest trends.
Choosing the right black bedside table for your space
Firstly, consider how you would like to use your bedside tables. Do you need additional storage, shelving or a simple tabletop surface? How much room do you have beside your bed? Once the practical aspects are decided, consider the room's overall look. Is it contemporary, classic, rustic, or something else?
Add glowing lamps to your side tables
Bedside table nightstands provide so many wonderful styling opportunities. Pure black is the perfect canvas to showcase gorgeous homewares. From a beautiful set of art deco lamps to a fragrant collection of candles or a tall vase of greenery, tabletop decor can bring your room to life. Stack a collection of your favourite books or curate some black & white photography.
Choose one table or a pair
Anchor your bed in the space with a matching set of bedside tables. They will frame and punctuate the bed as the centrepiece in the room. A set provides storage and surface space on both sides for ultimate convenience. Of course, a single table will usually suffice in a single room or a room where the bed is against the wall.
Storage options
A single-drawer or multi-drawer bedside table can answer your storage issues. Alleviate the clutter in your chest of drawers by transferring all the small items like underwear and socks, pyjamas and accessories to the bedside storage space for better organisation. Store chargers, medications, books and other nighttime essentials in the drawers for easy access at night.
Drawers and cupboards
Choose a bedside cabinet with drawers or shelving or a combination of both. Use a storage cabinet with recessed shelves to make a mini bookcase, display homewares, house your speakers and much more. Select a style with up to three drawers if you prefer more drawer space.
Complete the modern aesthetic with black bedsides
Beautiful bedside tables come in various styles to suit current interior trends. For a sophisticated and modern bedside table, try the sleek Zander. Dont forget to look at the Zander Tray Side Table for a minimalist version featuring chic powder-coated steel legs that are right on trend.
For an extra hint of detail our Claremont collection combines black with natural rattan panelling in a modern boho look. Of course, you cant go past the popular Hamptons for timeless French provincial accents with long-lasting appeal.
Ensure the height is right
Generally, your bedside tables should roughly line up with the top of your Mocka mattress or sit a little higher (up to 5 cm). Reaching directly across or slightly upward is practical, but reaching downward is unnatural.
Side tables for small spaces
Consider using a side table beside your bed if you have limited space. Placed beside your bed, a side table offers a surface for your table lamps, water glass and phone without requiring the space of a larger bedside table. Not limited to the living room, these versatile pieces can function as a coffee table, bedside table, dining table and more.
Kids’ bedside tables
Parents always need additional storage in the kid’s room. With a multi-drawer side table at the bedside, you’ll encourage your little one to stay organised. Store kid’s accessories, books, favourite toys and nighttime essentials in a place they can easily access from bed. Designs that we love for kids include the Aspen, which offers the timeless appeal of a wooden bedside table and the Kennedy for a hint of bright retro fun.
Caring for your bedside table
Bedside tables are an easy, low-maintenance way to refresh a bedroom. Of course, we always encourage you to follow the care instructions, but most bedside tables require little more than the occasional wipe with a cloth.

FAQ’s:
Should bedside tables match the bed?
Not necessarily, but you do want them to be at least complementary. For example, a rattan bedside table will look suit almost any natural or neutral-coloured bed frame or bedhead. If you are unsure, try Mocka’s new mobile augmented reality tool. Place your favourite style beside the bed virtually to see how it looks. All you need is a mobile phone!
Should bedside tables be higher than the bed?
Bedside tables should be roughly the same height as your mattress or slightly higher (up to 5cm). Ideally, you do not want them to be any lower. Reaching directly across or slightly upwards feels normal and natural.
