Nightstands That Balance Style, Storage & Convenience
A nightstand might be small, but it plays a big role in your nightly routine. Whether you're setting down a book, reaching for your phone charger, or winding down with a cup of tea, the right nightstand adds both function and personality to your bedroom.
What should you look for in a nightstand?
Start with the basics: size, storage, and style. Choose a nightstand that’s proportional to your bed height so it feels seamless and within easy reach. Look for extras like built-in USB ports, touch lighting, or hidden drawers for added convenience.
What’s the ideal size for your space?
The best nightstands are usually one to two inches taller than your mattress, making it easy to reach for essentials without fumbling. Want a more creative layout? Try mixing heights or styles on each side of the bed for a modern, eclectic look, as long as the proportions stay balanced.
What should you keep on your nightstand?
Think function first:
- A lamp for bedtime reading
- Your phone or alarm (with a charger station if needed)
- Medication or personal items within easy reach
Keep it minimal. Too much clutter can disrupt the calming energy you want at bedtime.
Do nightstands need to match the rest of the room?
Not necessarily. While symmetry is classic, mismatched nightstands in similar tones or materials can bring character to your space. Whether you're pairing one with a platform bed or blending with a full bedroom set, the key is to align with your room’s overall design style, whether it be modern, rustic, traditional, or coastal.
