A bedside table can also be called a night table or a nightstand. It’s that teeny tiny table or cabinet that sits beside our beds. It usually is situated beside the bed for us to be able to reach for our night drinks, maybe our medicines; and our cellular phones. This table is also where a lamp shade is placed for convenience and for us to easily turn it on and off when we are about to read or to sleep. They said that it’s usually the modern bedside tables that had the drawers, but of course, because we have tons of awesome designers, there are no rules in creating these beautiful pieces.
When choosing a bedside table, you have to consider four S’s: scale, style, storage and surface area. We all know that we have to check on the scale to make sure that your bedside table is not too large so as to make your bed feel smaller; then choose a style that complements the rest of the furniture in the room – because sometimes, the bedside table does not come with the bed. And for small spaces, storage is often essential; we always have that few things we want within our reach while we are in bed. And finally, make sure that the surface area is both in scale with your bed and large enough for your needs. With that in mind, let us check out the 15 Exemplary Modern Bedside Table Designs
