5 Tips For Choosing The Right Bedside Table

A bedroom is a place where you relax and restore your strength after a long day, so it should not only be stylish, but also highly functional. If you need tips for choosing the right bedside table – perhaps, one of the most functional bedroom furniture  units after a bed and wardrobe – here are some of the primary steps you should take into the account.

Evaluate your room dimensions

Depending on the space of your room, you should consider whether you need one bedside table or two. Two matching cabinets on both sides of the bed look very stylish and create a homey atmosphere in your room. Yet, if your space is limited, an extra table may not be the best idea.

And, of course, room dimensions are very important to define the size of your bedside table. While you are at it, try not to forget that there will also be other furniture items in your room. Use the basic interior decoration principle – the less cluster, the better.

Come up with an interior theme

Yet, the most important thing to consider is your main interior theme. What look are your trying to create in your room? If it is traditional atmosphere you are fond of, you should definitely go with a solid wood bedside table. Consider wood shade you are looking for – light, dark, or something in between.

If you are a fan of contemporary interiors, high gloss furniture is very popular these days. The selection in the UK stores is very impressive, and the colour palette is vast, too. Note, though, that your bedside table should match your bed – regardless if it is made of solid wood or of glossy MDF.

Choose matching items

Ideally, not only your bed, but also your other furniture arrangements should be in tune with each other. Think of the other items you will need (chest of drawers, wardrobe, etc.) and consider if you will be able to tie all of your bedroom pieces together. Normally, this should not be a problem while working with wood or high gloss.

Consider table functionality

How are you going to use the table? Is it going to be just a nightstand or will you need an extra storage unit in your room? Consider that before starting your search for a perfect model.

Take your time to choose

Finally, do not buy the first table you see – take some time to choose, check out several models – perhaps, even several stores.

Finally, you should not forget that choosing the right bedside table is always a bit tougher than choosing the complete bedroom furniture set. So, if you are decorating from scratch and still have a chance to purchase a complete bedroom collection rather than spend your time looking for matching items separately – you should definitely think over this opportunity. Note that quite often, purchasing a complete set will not merely take less time, it will also give you a chance to save some money – especially if you are looking for furniture in huge retails chains  with established reputation and a solid network of suppliers.
