Bedside tables

A bedside table is indispensable

So you always have your phone, reading glasses and a glass of water to hand. Brilliant, right? A bedside table next to your bed is almost indispensable. That's why we have bedside tables in various styles that go perfectly with our beds and other bedroom furniture. Choose one with drawers or a door. Pay attention to the height of the bedside table so that it lines up well with the height of your bed or divan.

The hero of the night

A bedside table with extra storage space is great if you have a lot of stuff. Select a closed cabinet, so your books and things don't get dusty. You can use a side table as a bedside table, and vice versa! Put it next to your favourite armchair or in the corner of the room with a large house plant on it. Of course, a bedside table is not complete without a table lamp. Check out all the table lamps here. There is certain to be one that goes with your bedside table.

Bedside cabinets with drawers

A bedside cabinet resembles a bedside table, but with drawers or a small cupboard door. These small cabinets or drawers allow for more storage than the traditional bedside table. A nightstand with discreet storage is great for when you want to avoid cluttering the surface, or perhaps when you want to hide away that guilty-pleasure bestseller! Items you store away in the drawers or small cupboard also won’t gather dust in the same way they would on top of a nightstand. If dust is your enemy – keep things clean in a bedside cabinet.

A traditional or a modern bedside table?

Practicalities aside, you’ll also want to choose a nightstand which suits your interior taste. A bedroom is a truly personal space where you can express your style freely – so it’s worth finding a bedside table that truly captures the look you wish to accentuate. A nightstand should look great beside your bed, so browse the IKEA selection for one that would look right at home in your own bedroom. Whether your style is traditional or modern, bold or minimalistic – you'll find a nightstand that complements your bed at IKEA.
