The designer bedside table is a bedroom accessory that is both decorative and practical. It's where you'll set down your alarm clock and glass of water, and where you'll tuck away body cream and other small personal items to keep them within easy reach. Let your own tastes guide you in choosing the storage piece that will blend into your interior or bring a personal touch to your décor. You might also decide to opt for a bedside lamp to place on its top to accompany your late-night reading sessions or your sheep-counting.

The renowned Shanghai-based label Maison Dada offers softness and vintage charm with its Stand by Me collection. Available in several colours, each one adds a lively note to your décor. The asymmetry of its two storage drawers shakes up traditional design conventions. Its rounded, copper-finish base gives it a precious, weightless silhouette. Picture it beside a raw wood bed in a cosy, light-filled loft.

For an original bedside table, you could choose the essential Componibili storage unit from Kartell. Iconic and minimalist, its round shape gives it an industrial style while its finishes lend it a refined edge. The Componibili unit is stackable, so it adapts easily to the height of your bed. This colourful module is designed to be practical and versatile: it works as a side table while offering genuine storage space. Simple cut-out holes act as handles for sliding the doors open. We love the silver-toned version, an unusual finish that adds character to any interior! Componibili storage units come in several colours, including charming pastel shades, ideal for furnishing a child's bedroom.

The UNIK bedside table collection from Kulile offers beautifully crafted designs made from a noble material: natural oak, sourced from sustainably managed forests. With a shelf and a storage drawer, this small vintage bedside table with its Scandinavian aesthetic is perfect for furnishing your bedroom. In a single colour or two-tone, the handsome UNIK bedside table rests on a slightly splayed base and displays clean lines; its understated silhouette will enhance every style of interior décor. Picture a pair of them framing a rustic wooden bed, or in a contemporary bedroom.

Frequently asked questions

What dimensions should I choose for a designer bedside table based on my bedroom space?

Standard dimensions range from 40 to 60 cm in width and 35 to 50 cm in depth. For a small space, opt for a maximum of 40 x 35 cm. For a large bed or a master suite, go for 50-60 cm wide. Ideally, the height should be level with your mattress for ergonomic access to everyday items. Measure your available space before making a choice.

Which bedside table material is the easiest to look after day to day?

Tempered glass and stainless steel require minimal upkeep: a wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes. Lacquered or painted wood is also easy to maintain with a dry cloth. Natural woods need more regular care using specific products to preserve their finish. Avoid placing damp objects directly on the surface to prevent staining.

How do I pair a modern designer bedside table with different bedroom styles?

A clean-lined bedside table in light wood suits Scandinavian, minimalist and contemporary interiors. Black metal models complement industrial and mid-century styles. For a touch of luxury, go for marble or quality wood with brass details. The key is to maintain consistency in colour palette and proportions with your bed and other furniture.

Why choose a bedside table with a drawer or built-in storage?

Drawers provide discreet storage for bedtime essentials: glasses, watch, books or phone. This optimises bedroom space, which is particularly useful in smaller rooms. Tables with an open shelf are better suited to decorators who enjoy displaying design pieces. Consider your actual storage needs before choosing between open or closed models.

Which premium materials offer the best balance between durability and aesthetics for a bedside table?

Marble and travertine bring timeless elegance but require protection against stains. Quality solid wood ages beautifully and lasts for decades with regular care. Marble and metal combinations pair sturdiness with refinement. Raw concrete suits robust contemporary styles. Choose according to how you use it and the conditions in your bedroom.
