If there's one bedside table that's the perfect companion, it's the nightstand. It's the last thing we see before closing our eyes and the first thing we see when we wake up. It's one of those auxiliary pieces of furniture we use most often, even if we don't always give it the importance it deserves. That's why at
Deco and Lemon , we want to highlight its role and bring you the best tips for choosing the perfect model for you. Follow our advice!
The size of the bedside table
One of the essential characteristics for choosing the perfect bedside table isn't its width or depth, but its height.
This piece of furniture should be similar in height to the mattress or slightly lower , but never taller. This ensures easy access when you're in bed.
Buy a bedside table with capacity
You can find a wide variety of bedside tables on the market, in different shapes, materials, and colors. However,
those that offer more storage space are the most useful . While shelves can make a big difference, if you choose one with drawers or doors, you can also hide anything you don't want on display.
Bedside tables, yes, but well-equipped ones.
A bedside table should ideally include
a bowl or tray for storing accessories, along with
a lamp . At this point, you might be wondering about size. Well, it should never take up more than half the surface area and is best if it doesn't exceed the height of the headboard. If you're short on space, why not install a wall sconce or a ceiling light with a long cord? We recommend incorporating three elements: one horizontal (like a tray), one vertical (the lamp), and a sculptural piece (which could be anything from a decorative object to a flower). Of course,
try to maintain a cohesive color palette throughout. 
Personal items on the bedside tables
Finally, place photographs, family mementos, or some kind of art that makes you smile every morning when the alarm goes off. Also, think about your bedtime routines: face creams, water bottles, books… We hope we've helped you choose a bedside table and decorate it with style. On our website, you'll find a wide variety of models that suit both modern and personal tastes. Visit
