How to Choose the Perfect Bedside Table
When selecting a bedside table, consider the following factors to ensure it fits your needs and enhances your bedroom’s design.

- Vintage bedside tables with intricate detailing add a touch of warmth to minimalist spaces.
2. Size and Proportions
- Ensure the table’s height matches your bed for easy access to items.
- For smaller bedrooms, opt for compact tables with built-in storage to maximise space.
3. Functionality
- Decide whether you need drawers, shelves, or an open design based on your storage requirements.
- Consider bedside tables with additional features like sliding doors for a unique vintage touch.
4. Material and Finish

- Match the material of your bedside table to other furniture, such as a Vintage Storage Unit or bed frame, for a cohesive look.
Incorporating a Bedside Table into Your Bedroom Design
Bedside tables are functional yet decorative pieces that can be styled to enhance your bedroom’s overall ambience. Here are some ideas:
- Minimalist Styling: Pair a mid-century bedside table with a simple lamp and a small potted plant for a clean, modern look.
