Buying Guide

  • How to Choose the Right Bedside Table

    A bedside table is much more than a convenient place to leave your alarm clock or mobile phone. It's one of the most frequently used pieces of bedroom furniture, helping to keep everyday essentials within easy reach while contributing to the overall style and balance of your bedroom.


    The right bedside cabinet should complement the height of your bed, provide the level of storage you need and work harmoniously with your wardrobe, chest of drawers and other bedroom furniture. Before choosing a design, consider how much storage you require, the amount of available space beside your bed and whether you prefer a minimalist look or hidden storage to reduce everyday clutter.

  • One Drawer Bedside Tables

    A one drawer bedside table is ideal for those who prefer a clean, uncluttered bedroom. The drawer provides convenient storage for everyday essentials such as reading glasses, medication, chargers, notebooks or personal items, while the open surface offers space for a bedside lamp, book and decorative accessories.


    These compact designs are particularly well suited to guest bedrooms, smaller bedrooms and contemporary interiors where simplicity and practicality are equally important. Pair with a handcrafted table lamp and a small vase of flowers to create a bedside space that's both functional and inviting.

  • Two & Three Drawer Bedside Cabinets

    If additional storage is a priority, a two or three drawer bedside cabinet offers the perfect balance between style and practicality. Multiple drawers help keep everyday items neatly organised while maintaining a tidy and relaxing bedroom environment.


    Use separate drawers to organise books, electronic devices, charging cables, medication, skincare products or personal belongings, ensuring everything is close at hand but neatly hidden from view. These larger bedside cabinets work particularly well in master bedrooms where extra storage helps reduce clutter elsewhere in the room.

  • Open Shelf Bedside Tables

    An open shelf bedside table combines practical storage with a lighter, more contemporary appearance. Open shelving allows easy access to books, magazines or decorative baskets while creating a sense of openness that's ideal for smaller bedrooms.


    Many designs combine an open shelf with a drawer, offering the best of both worlds—hidden storage for personal items and open display space for your favourite bedtime reading or decorative accessories. Style the shelf with neatly stacked books or a woven basket to maintain a tidy and organised appearance.

  • Compact Bedside Tables

    For many UK homes, especially apartments and smaller bedrooms, making the most of available space is essential. A compact bedside table provides all the functionality of a larger cabinet while occupying a much smaller footprint, helping to maintain comfortable walkways around the bed.

    Slimline bedside tables are perfect where space is limited, allowing enough room for a bedside lamp, alarm clock and everyday essentials without making the room feel overcrowded. Choosing lighter finishes such as oak, painted furniture or Scandinavian-inspired designs can also help create the impression of a brighter and more spacious bedroom.

  • Matching or Mix & Match?

    One of the most common questions when furnishing a bedroom is whether bedside tables should match. While matching bedside tables create a balanced, symmetrical appearance that suits traditional and contemporary interiors alike, they are by no means the only option.


    Mixing complementary finishes, colours or styles can create a more relaxed and professionally designed bedroom. For example, pairing natural oak bedside tables with a painted chest of drawers or introducing contrasting textures such as rattan and wood adds depth and personality without compromising harmony.


    The key is consistency rather than uniformity. Choosing furniture with similar proportions, materials or design details creates a cohesive look while giving your bedroom a more individual and carefully curated feel.

  • Consider Your Everyday Routine

    Before deciding which bedside table is right for you, think about how you use the space beside your bed each day. If you enjoy reading before bed, you'll benefit from enough surface space for a lamp and books. If you charge multiple devices overnight, additional drawers help keep cables neatly hidden, while those who prefer a minimalist bedroom may only need a compact table with a single drawer. Choosing furniture that supports your daily routine ensures your bedside table remains practical as well as stylish for years to come.

  • Choosing the Perfect Bedside Table

    The best bedside table combines attractive design with everyday practicality. By considering your available space, storage requirements and preferred interior style, you'll find furniture that not only complements your bedroom but also makes daily life more organised and comfortable.


    Whether you prefer a compact bedside cabinet for a guest room, a spacious drawer unit for a master bedroom or a contemporary open-shelf design, investing in quality bedroom furniture helps create a calm, functional and beautifully coordinated space you'll enjoy every day.

Room Inspiration

A thoughtfully chosen bedside table is one of the finishing touches that transforms a bedroom from simply functional into a calm and welcoming retreat. Whether you're furnishing a spacious master bedroom, a compact guest room or a modern apartment, the right bedside table provides practical storage while helping to create a balanced and beautifully styled interior.


From elegant bedside cabinets with generous storage to minimalist nightstands and compact bedside tables, each design offers a different way to organise your space while complementing your existing bedroom furniture.

  • Master Bedrooms

    In a master bedroom, matching bedside tables help create symmetry and balance around the bed, giving the room a polished and luxurious appearance. They also provide valuable storage for books, chargers, reading glasses, skincare products and other everyday essentials, helping to keep surfaces tidy and clutter-free.


    Complete the look by placing matching table lamps on each bedside table to create warm ambient lighting, then add artwork, candles or a small vase of fresh flowers to introduce colour and personality. Coordinating your bedside tables with a chest of drawers, wardrobe or dressing table helps create a harmonious bedroom that feels calm, organised and designed for relaxation.

  • Guest Bedrooms

    A compact bedside cabinet makes a guest bedroom feel both practical and welcoming. Even a smaller bedside table gives visitors somewhere to place a drink, mobile phone, book or personal belongings, helping them feel more comfortable throughout their stay.


    Create a boutique hotel-inspired atmosphere by styling the table with a reading lamp, fresh flowers, a scented candle and a small tray for jewellery or glasses. Neutral colours, soft bedding and carefully chosen accessories complete the space, creating a bedroom that guests will genuinely enjoy spending time in.

  • Children's Bedrooms

    A bedside table for a child's bedroom provides an ideal place for bedtime books, night lights, favourite toys and everyday essentials. As children grow, bedside tables become useful for alarm clocks, school books, charging devices and personal belongings, encouraging independence while helping to keep the room organised.


    Choose a durable design with practical drawer storage to keep smaller items safely tucked away while maintaining a tidy bedroom. Neutral finishes are a great long-term choice, allowing the furniture to grow with your child as their tastes and needs change over the years.

  • Small Bedrooms

    For many UK homes, making the most of limited space is essential. Compact bedside tables and slim bedside cabinets provide valuable storage without making smaller bedrooms feel cramped or overcrowded.


    Lighter finishes such as natural oak, painted furniture and Scandinavian-inspired designs reflect more natural light, helping rooms feel brighter and more spacious. Choosing a bedside table with drawers allows you to keep everyday items neatly organised while maintaining clean surfaces that contribute to a calm and uncluttered bedroom.

  • Apartments & Contemporary Homes

    Modern apartments often benefit from furniture that's both practical and visually lightweight. Contemporary bedside tables with clean lines, subtle detailing and understated finishes complement modern interiors while providing everyday functionality.


    Matt finishes, minimalist handles and natural wood textures work beautifully alongside upholstered beds, soft lighting and neutral colour palettes. Pair your bedside tables with matching lamps, textured bedding and simple decorative accessories to create a sophisticated bedroom that's both comfortable and easy to maintain.

  • Dressing Rooms & Guest Suites

    Bedside tables aren't limited to traditional bedrooms. In dressing rooms and guest suites, they provide useful surface space for jewellery, perfumes, decorative accessories or reading material while introducing an additional layer of style to the room.


    Choosing complementary finishes that coordinate with wardrobes and dressing tables helps create a cohesive interior where every piece of furniture works together. A carefully styled bedside table can also soften larger spaces by introducing warm lighting, greenery and personal decorative touches.

Create a Calm & Coordinated Bedroom

No matter the size or style of your home, a well-chosen bedside table helps create a bedroom that's both practical and beautifully balanced. Pair your bedside cabinets with coordinating chest of drawers, wardrobes, bedroom mirrors, table lamps, handmade lampshades and carefully selected décor to create a relaxing space designed around the way you live.

Whether your style is contemporary, Scandinavian, country or classic, investing in quality bedroom furniture helps transform everyday routines into moments of comfort while creating a home that's organised, welcoming and built to last.

How to Style a Bedside Table

  • A beautifully styled bedside table helps transform your bedroom into a calm and relaxing sanctuary.


    Start with a table lamp to provide warm ambient lighting before adding a small stack of books, a candle or diffuser and a decorative tray for jewellery or everyday essentials. Introduce height with a vase of flowers or a framed photograph, keeping enough empty space for practical daily use.


    For a balanced look, choose accessories that complement the colours and finishes throughout your bedroom rather than introducing too many contrasting styles.

Bedside Table Size Guide

  • Choosing the Right Bedside Table

    Selecting the correct bedside table is about more than simply finding a design you like. The right size helps create balance within your bedroom, ensures everyday essentials are always within easy reach and allows you to move comfortably around the room. Whether you're choosing a compact bedside cabinet for a smaller bedroom or a larger drawer unit for a spacious master suite, taking a few simple measurements before buying will help you choose furniture that looks perfectly proportioned and works beautifully in everyday life.

  • Bedside Table Height

    One of the most important considerations is the height of your bedside table. Ideally, the top of the table should sit level with, or slightly below, the top of your mattress. This allows you to comfortably reach a bedside lamp, book, mobile phone or glass of water without stretching or leaning awkwardly during the night.


    If your bedside table sits significantly lower than your mattress, everyday items become less convenient to reach. Conversely, a table that's too high can appear out of proportion and disrupt the visual balance of your bedroom. If you're investing in a new bed at the same time, it's worth considering both pieces together to achieve the most comfortable and coordinated result.

  • Choosing the Right Width

    The width of your bedside table should feel proportionate to both your bed and the available space within your bedroom. Larger bedrooms often benefit from wider bedside cabinets that provide generous storage and create a balanced appearance alongside king or super king beds.


    For smaller bedrooms, guest rooms and apartments, slimmer bedside tables offer practical storage while maintaining comfortable walkways around the bed. As a general guide, leave enough clearance to move freely around the room and allow doors, wardrobes and drawers to open without obstruction.

  • Choosing the Right Depth

    Although often overlooked, the depth of a bedside table plays an important role in everyday practicality. A table that's too deep can reduce valuable floor space, while one that's too shallow may not provide enough surface area for a bedside lamp, books or other essentials.


    Choose a depth that comfortably accommodates the items you use most often while still allowing easy movement around the room. In compact bedrooms, a shallower bedside cabinet can help maximise available space without compromising functionality.

  • Storage Requirements

    Before choosing a bedside table, think about what you keep bedside your bed each day. If you prefer a clean and uncluttered bedroom, a bedside cabinet with drawers provides valuable concealed storage for chargers, medication, reading glasses, notebooks, skincare products and other personal belongings.


    If you enjoy displaying books, candles or decorative accessories, an open shelf bedside table offers convenient access while creating a lighter, more contemporary appearance. Many customers find that a combination of drawer storage and open shelving provides the ideal balance between practicality and style.

  • Think About Your Bedroom Layout

    A bedside table should work with the overall layout of your bedroom rather than simply filling the available space. Consider how close it will sit to wardrobes, radiators, windows and bedroom doors, ensuring there is enough room to move comfortably around the furniture.


    If you're furnishing a compact bedroom, pairing slimmer bedside cabinets with lighter furniture finishes can help create the impression of a larger, brighter room. In more spacious bedrooms, larger bedside tables help balance the proportions of wider beds while providing additional storage and display space.

  • Styling the Surface

    The top of your bedside table should remain both practical and inviting. Leave enough clear space for everyday essentials while styling with a bedside lamp, a favourite book, a scented candle or diffuser and perhaps a small vase of fresh flowers or greenery.


    Avoid overcrowding the surface with too many decorative items. A carefully curated arrangement feels calmer, is easier to maintain and contributes to the relaxing atmosphere every bedroom should offer.

  • Before You Buy

    Before placing your order, carefully measure the available space beside your bed and check the overall dimensions against your room layout. Remember to allow enough space for drawers or cupboard doors to open fully, and consider nearby wardrobes, radiators, skirting boards, electrical sockets and window sills that may affect positioning.


    Spending just a few extra minutes measuring before you buy can help ensure your new bedside table fits perfectly first time, giving you furniture that's not only beautiful but practical for everyday living.

Materials & Finishes

  • Which Bedside Table Finish is Right for You?

    The finish of your bedside table influences far more than its appearance. Different materials and finishes affect how your bedroom feels, how furniture complements existing décor and how easily your room can evolve over time. Whether you're furnishing a contemporary apartment, a traditional family home or a cosy cottage, choosing the right bedside cabinet helps create a bedroom that's both practical and beautifully coordinated.


    When selecting your furniture, consider the size of your room, the amount of natural light available and the finishes already used throughout your bedroom. Coordinating your bedside tables with wardrobes, chests of drawers and dressing tables creates a cohesive interior that feels thoughtfully designed while reflecting your personal style.

Oak Bedside Tables

An oak bedside table remains one of the most popular choices for UK bedrooms thanks to its natural beauty, durability and timeless appeal. The rich grain of oak introduces warmth and texture while complementing a wide variety of interior styles, from traditional country homes to contemporary new-build properties.

Oak is particularly versatile because it pairs effortlessly with both neutral and colourful décor. Whether combined with crisp white bedding, earthy tones or soft grey palettes, an oak bedside cabinet brings lasting character to your bedroom. Its enduring style also makes it an excellent long-term investment, remaining fashionable even as interior trends evolve.

Painted Bedside Tables

A painted bedside table offers a softer and more versatile alternative to natural wood. Finishes in white, cream, sage green, stone, taupe or warm grey help brighten bedrooms while creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere that's easy to update with changing accessories and seasonal décor.

Painted furniture works particularly well in smaller bedrooms, where lighter colours reflect natural daylight and help create the impression of a larger, more open space. Pair painted bedside cabinets with upholstered headboards, natural wood flooring and soft textiles to create a bedroom that's elegant, inviting and easy to personalise.

Scandinavian Designs

Scandinavian bedside tables are renowned for their clean lines, light oak finishes and understated elegance. Inspired by Nordic interiors, these designs focus on simplicity, practicality and natural materials, making them perfect for creating a calm and uncluttered bedroom.

This style is especially popular in modern UK homes and apartments, where maximising natural light and making smaller rooms feel more spacious are key priorities. Pair Scandinavian furniture with linen bedding, textured throws, woven baskets and indoor plants to create a peaceful retreat that feels effortlessly stylish.

Contemporary Styles

A modern bedside table combines streamlined silhouettes with practical functionality. Matt finishes, minimalist handles, black accents and clean architectural lines create furniture that suits contemporary homes without feeling overly decorative.

These designs work beautifully alongside platform beds, statement lighting and neutral colour schemes, allowing textures and carefully chosen accessories to become the focal point of the room. Contemporary bedside cabinets are an excellent choice for anyone seeking a sophisticated, clutter-free bedroom that's easy to maintain.

Rattan & Natural Textures

Rattan bedside tables bring warmth, texture and handcrafted character into the bedroom. Natural woven detailing softens the appearance of furniture while adding visual interest, making it an excellent choice for relaxed, organic interiors.

Rattan pairs beautifully with oak furniture, linen bedding, ceramic accessories and indoor plants, creating a bedroom inspired by nature. Whether your style leans towards modern country, coastal, bohemian or Scandinavian interiors, natural textures help create a welcoming space that feels comfortable throughout every season.

Mixed Materials & Textured Finishes

Many contemporary bedside tables combine different materials to create a more distinctive and layered appearance. Natural wood paired with painted drawer fronts, metal handles, ribbed detailing or woven panels adds subtle contrast while remaining versatile enough to suit a wide range of interiors.

Mixing finishes throughout your bedroom often creates a more natural and professionally styled look than matching every piece exactly. For example, pairing oak bedside tables with a painted chest of drawers or introducing black metal lighting alongside natural timber furniture creates depth and personality while maintaining a cohesive design.

Choosing the Right Finish for Your Home

  • The best bedside table finish is one that complements both your lifestyle and your home. Lighter finishes such as oak, painted furniture and Scandinavian-inspired designs help smaller bedrooms feel brighter and more spacious, while darker contemporary finishes create contrast and become striking focal points within larger rooms.


    Rather than focusing solely on colour, consider durability, texture and how your furniture will coordinate with the rest of your bedroom. Choosing high-quality bedside tables in finishes that suit your décor ensures they'll continue to look stylish for years to come while creating a bedroom that's calm, practical and beautifully put together.
