How to Choose the Perfect Bed Side Table
Finding the right fit is easier when you measure carefully and consider your routine.
1. Measure mattress height – The top of your bed side table should align with or be slightly below the mattress.
2. Check floor space – Allow space for drawers to open and foot traffic to flow.
3. Match your décor – For modern interiors, go minimal. For heritage homes, choose carved or brass inlay finishes.
4. Think functionality – Need extra storage? Opt for drawers. Need to save space? Try a wall-hung model.
Tip: For compact bedrooms, pair one multifunctional bed side table with wall lighting instead of two bulky units.
