Sleep Sideways: Types of Bedside Tables to Inspire
A bedside table can be considered as an essential addition to everyone’s bedroom. It completes the bed and adds to the bedroom furniture. Your choice of bedside table will depend on the intended purpose. If you are looking for additional storage, then you will probably find that one with drawers fits you best. A simple nightstand will do for a night light. Whatever you need, you are sure to find it in our store in a wide variety. Here are the three types of bedside tables that should inspire your ideal choice:
BEDSIDE CHEST
A bedside chest is probably the most common type of bedside table. It is usually made up of small drawers, two or three. The top acts as the surface to place the nightlight. The drawers serve as storage for small items such as underwear, socks and small and frequently used items such as alarm clocks and watches. This bedside table would be ideal for you if you were not looking for a large storage solution. If your personal effects don’t fit in the drawer, consider getting a tallboy or transferring dome of the items to your closet drawers. It is also an excellent choice for reducing clutter in your bedroom.
BEDSIDE CABINET
It is quite similar to a bedside chest, only it has larger storage space for big items. It usually comes with drawers like those on the chest but also includes ample space for keeping big things. This is ideal for you if you need extra space, especially for items that can’t fit in the chest like the outfit of your little lady. It is also a great choice if you want to combine a storage solution with some bedroom decor. For instance, a bedside cabinet without a door can be a great place to put a flower vase, especially if it has a beautiful background. Of course, you can have it custom made to precisely meet your decor and storage needs.
NIGHTSTAND
A nightstand doesn’t do much for storage, so it is not a good option if you are looking for some. Typically, it focuses on the top surface, which is intended for keeping simple items such as the night lamp or alarm clock. Some times it comes with some storage space, usually just one shelf. There you can keep personal effects such as underwear or medicine.
The nightstand is meant to be more of a decorative item than a storage solution. It is designed to be stylish and complement the bedroom’s decor. Sometimes it could be as simple as a small table with no shelves.
In conclusion, the type of bedside table to buy will depend on your needs. If you want storage, then consider a cabinet or chest. A nightstand will serve well for a stylish and classy finish.
