Nightstands

Matching nightstands create a calm, symmetrical bedroom — ideal for minimal and hotel-inspired spaces. Deliberately mismatched pairs add personality, especially when they share a connecting detail like height or material family. A small chest of drawers on one side and a slim open table on the other lets each person have the bedside storage they actually need. Wall-mounted floating nightstands are a smart choice for small bedrooms, freeing floor space and making the room easier to clean.

Choose a nightstand that aligns with the top of your mattress, give or take 5 cm — most beds put the mattress top at 55–65 cm from the floor, so a nightstand of 50–65 cm tall works for the majority. Allow at least a 40 cm surface for a lamp and essentials. Prices range from £80–£200 for well-made options, with designer or solid-wood pieces reaching £300–£600. A single drawer handles most people's bedside storage needs comfortably.
