Bedroom in need of some storage or a new look? Whether you’re working with a tiny space or have ample room for the cosy and homely set-up of your dreams, a bedside table is an essential addition to your scheme.
No one wants to reach down to the floor for their glass of water and fumble around to find a bedside light, right? So choosing the perfect nightstand is a must, and if you’re on a budget there are still plenty of options.
So what to consider? If you’re seriously short on space, then a wall-mounted drawer or shelf will make your room look bigger by preserving floor space.
If storage is a major issue then deep drawers or a locker will add ample room to stash your stuff in. Or if design is your main concern, pick something statement which matches your scheme, be it eclectic, stylishly minimalist or contemporary.
And if you have an otherwise muted colour palette, vibrant hues or detailing such as a peplum edge, could instantly add personality. You could also consider a simple side table and dress it up with a display of books, a statement lamp or a curation of ceramics.
Whatever look you’re after, we’ve done the hard work for you. Find the best affordable bedside tables from just £19 below.
