Matching bedside tables to your bed is a key step in decorating your bedroom! Are there two pieces of furniture that define a bedroom more than these? Let's be honest: probably not.
Choosing the most suitable bedside tables to place next to your bed is no small feat. The choice of bedside tables is truly vast: shapes, colors, sizes...not to mention styles. But how do you choose the most suitable piece of furniture to place near the headboard?
A bedside table, as the name suggests, is first and foremost a piece of furniture that must be comfortable and practical, as well as spacious and roomy. The top shelf should be able to hold a table lamp, an alarm clock, a few books, and (why not?) even small ornaments, while the doors or drawers can be used to organize all your accessories.
But functionality isn't everything: the bedroom also deserves the right attention in terms of style and elegance, and a perfect bedside table must blend seamlessly with the rest of the room. Matching your bed to your bedroom's aesthetic is essential, but cleverly matching your wardrobe and bedside tables is also a great way to enhance your bedroom.
In our online store, you'll find a wide variety of bedside tables in a variety of sizes and styles. To help you choose your new piece of furniture, we've provided you with a series of ideas and tips to help you choose the best nightstand for your needs.
How do you match nightstands to your bed for all the comfort you need without sacrificing style? Here are the basic rules to follow to avoid mistakes!
Wanting to match a nightstand to your bed? Pay attention to the dimensions!
Let us guess: you recently moved house, you need to furnish your new bedroom, and you're having some doubts. For example: "How do I choose the best nightstand for me?" The first thing to do is grab a tape measure, measure your bed, and start evaluating the dimensions of your new nightstand!
The general rule is that nightstands should be the right height, proportionate to the bed. Neither too high nor too low, there's no such thing as a perfect size: the ideal bedside table is one that allows you to reach out and have everything at your fingertips. When choosing the height of your bedside table, consider the bed and choose your new piece accordingly, but also ignore the length and depth of this piece of furniture.
Imagine having a really small bedroom (or wanting to furnish a child's bedroom): there isn't always enough space between the bed and the wall to fit a proper cabinet. In this case, you can replace the bedside tables with smaller, DIY alternatives that will allow you to further personalize the sleeping area.
Materials, shapes, and colors: matching bedside tables to your bed is also a question of style!
Size isn't everything, of course! How many types of bedside tables are there on the market? There are as many as there are furnishing styles. So, how do you match bedside tables to your bed without sacrificing aesthetics?
Let's just say that a lot depends on your interior design taste. If you love coordinated bedrooms, choose nightstands and dressers in the same style that complement the bed (and the room) perfectly. A vintage nightstand will look great in a bedroom with a retro charm, while shabby chic nightstands in delicate pastel shades and artfully antiqued details are the best choice for a romantic or Provençal bedroom.
If you want to pair nightstands with a double bed, you have several options. A pair of identical nightstands is the most obvious choice, especially for a coordinated bedroom. In this case, try to echo the styles, colors, and shapes by matching the wardrobe and nightstands, as well as small dressers or chests of drawers.
Oh, and don't forget that materials also contribute to creating harmony and coherence in the bedroom! If your bed is wrought iron, choose a metal nightstand with a distressed look to create a charming industrial-style room reminiscent of New York lofts, while a rustic nightstand is an excellent choice for a wooden bed in a country-chic bedroom.
To create a more eccentric and unconventional bedroom, you can choose different bedside tables to complement the bedroom decor. The colors, shapes, and textures of these furnishings add style and personality to the room, but always consider the combinations carefully: even original furnishings require careful planning.
In short, you've probably figured out: matching bedside tables to your bed requires taste, imagination, and an overall vision that allows you to truly enhance the room!
