Nightstands

Nightstands (also called bedside tables) are the small pieces that make a bedroom feel livable—somewhere for a lamp, a glass of water, and the things you don’t want on the floor. The Brick has to offer nightstands in a range of sizes and finishes, from compact bedside cabinets to wider options with extra drawer space.

Where to place a bedside table?

A bedside table works best when it sits close enough to reach comfortably from bed, without making the walkway feel tight. If your bed is tucked into a corner, one small nightstand can still make the space feel more finished—especially with a lamp and one drawer to hide the everyday clutter.

For larger rooms, two matching nightstands (a nightstand set of 2) can create a clean, balanced look. In shared bedrooms, that symmetry can be the difference between “temporary setup” and “proper bedroom.”

Nightstands with drawers

A nightstand with drawers is the classic choice for a reason: it hides chargers, hand cream, glasses, and anything else you’d rather not see first thing in the morning. A 1 drawer nightstand keeps things simple, while a 2 drawer nightstand adds a little breathing room for extra storage.

Need more space? A 3 drawer nightstand is great when the bedroom is short on drawer storage overall, or when you want your bedside table to double as a mini dresser.

Colours and finishes to consider for a nightstand

A white nightstand is an easy win in smaller bedrooms because it keeps the space feeling light. A grey nightstand brings a softer, modern look that pairs well with both warm wood tones and black accents.

If you want something with a bit more personality, a mirrored nightstand can add brightness and reflect light—handy in darker bedrooms. Wood finishes (light oak to deeper walnut looks) are a great middle ground when you want warmth without going overly rustic.

How to pick a nightstand in the right size

The “right” nightstand size is the one that feels natural beside your bed. Too low and it looks like an afterthought; too tall and it can feel awkward to use. Also consider surface area: if you keep a lamp, phone, and book by the bed, a tiny top can get crowded fast.

For tight layouts, a narrow night stand or small bedside table keeps the room open. In larger bedrooms, tall nightstands or wider bedside tables can look more proportionate and give you extra storage where it actually gets used.

FAQs About Nightstands

Is it okay to have only one nightstand?

Yes—one bedside table works well in smaller rooms or when the bed sits against a wall.

Should nightstands match the dresser?

Matching is optional; coordinating finishes and hardware usually looks intentional without being too “set-like.”

What size lamp looks right on a nightstand?

A compact table lamp that leaves room for your everyday items usually looks best; oversized lamps can crowd a small top.

How can cords be managed on a nightstand?

Use a cable clip or small tray, and route chargers behind the nightstand so the top stays tidy.
