Nightstands play a crucial role in completing the aesthetic of a bedroom. After selecting a high-quality mattress and a sturdy bed frame, the right nightstand can enhance the overall look of the space while helping to minimize clutter. Beyond their functional purpose, these bedside tables offer an opportunity to inject personal style into the bedroom, providing a platform for decorative items such as stylish lamps, organizer trays, or a clock with tech features.

Our Top Picks

To explore multifunctional nightstands that inspire cozy nights spent reading in bed, we have categorized our selections by type. If you already have a specific style in mind, you can jump to that section below.

We have curated 18 standout nightstands that cater to various design preferences: from minimalist metal pieces and luxurious leather designs to coastal cane options, traditional styles, bohemian finds, and much more. However, before settling on a bedside table, there are several important factors to consider.

For a glimpse into some of our favorite nightstands, beautifully styled by the experts at AD, take a look at our Nightstand Diaries.

What style are you looking for?

Assess the space you have available and how cluttered your existing environment is before choosing a nightstand. If space is limited, a floating nightstand may be an ideal solution, allowing you to maintain floor space. If you opt for this style, carefully follow the installation guidelines and keep in mind its weight capacity.

Are you looking for ample surface area?

The amount of tabletop space is crucial when selecting a nightstand. Generally, round designs may offer less surface area compared to square or rectangular styles. If your goal is to make a bold statement, consider exploring unconventional shapes and silhouettes that can add a unique touch to your bedroom.

Storage space: Do you need it?

Ultimately, one of the most significant questions to address is your storage needs. If you prefer to keep some items nearby while you sleep without them cluttering your surface, a nightstand with drawers may be the best choice. Fortunately, many of the options available combine both style and storage. However, more sculptural designs may prioritize aesthetics over functionality, so it’s essential to find a balance that works for your lifestyle.

Wooden Nightstands

Rebecca Grambone, the social media manager for AD, expressed admiration for the ample storage offered by a particular piece from Article. She noted the “super rich color and smooth texture” of the Nera wood nightstand. Currently, this nightstand is available for purchase, with options for a darker walnut finish or a lighter oak shade, catering to different stylistic preferences.
