Choosing a great nightstand can change the whole look of your room and add functionality to it. The ideal nightstand should fit well with your style and decor, store all of your belongings, and match the right height and style to go with your bed. As you scroll through the Nightstands & Tables collection, it is helpful to know what a nightstand should offer in functionality and style. It isn’t just about if you need a round nightstand or a sleek black modern nightstand or if a 2 drawer nightstand or metal nightstand will fit your space or if a 32 inch tall nightstand is the right idea for your room.
Knowing what all of your options are, and looking for those features, makes it much easier to find the right nightstand. Even the color of your nightstand, whether that is a grey nightstand or a silver nightstand, can set the tone of your entire room. This guide will help you sort through your choices in selecting a nightstand that works for your lifestyle and enhances your bedroom.
Start With Size and Nightstand Dimensions
First and foremost: measure your space! Your nightstand should be close to the mattress height, to ensure you won’t have to reach too far for your lamp, alarm clock or book. If you like a taller piece, trying a 30 inch tall nightstand is a great size this allows for presence without feeling overwhelming. Having an understanding of nightstand dimensions, will allow you to choose a nightstand that feels purposeful in the room versus it simply being fit into the space.
Decide Storage Style: Drawer or Open
Consider how you use your bedside space. If you keep a lot of items at your bedside, you should invest in a nightstand with a 2 drawer option. Drawers keep your clutter hidden, allowing the tabletops to be clean. If you would rather embrace minimalism or display some items, then consider a nightstand with fewer drawers or open shelves. The Grayson Luxury range offers both types so you can select the option that fits your needs and habits.
Select a Shape to Match Your Room’s Flow
The shape of your nightstand affects how it feels. A round nightstand can bring softness to your space and is a great fit for smaller areas or curvy bedframes. Rectangular nightstand shapes add structure and have clean lines as well. Identify what fits with your bed and the space you are generally moving around in.
Choose the Material and Finish That Reflects Your Style
Material is of equal importance to color and shape. For a modern, sleek look in your interior, a nightstand in metal is durable and has an industrial-cool look. For a high contrast or bold look, a black modern nightstand will anchor your space, and give a more progressive design voice to the overall look. If looking for glamour or a surface that reflects light, a silver nightstand offers sparkle and luxury without being overwhelming.
Make Sure It Fits Your Bedroom’s Aesthetic
The nightstand should feel as a part of your room’s furniture layout, rather than an afterthought. If you have a simple metal bedframe, then a metal finished piece would work here too… In a warm, upholstered, or wood framed bed scenario, try to keep the nightstand in warm tones or grey to blend in.
Final Touches: Placement and Styling
Position your nightstand in a way that is convenient for operation and is also visually appealing. Be sure to allow some clearance between the bed and the nightstand, so you don’t bang into a sharp edge when getting in or out of bed. If you take a round nightstand, it can help the flow in tighter spaces. Maintain relative height and width. Match your drawer pulls or metal legs to other finishes in the space for a cohesive look.
Conclusion
Grayson Luxury, has curated a great selection for you: whether you prefer a simple black 2 drawer nightstand, do you like a metal nightstand for a loft urban style, a soft grey nightstand for an effortless retreat, or a silver nightstand that lends a luxe glimmer to the room.
If you pay attention to nightstand dimensions, shape, materials, and colour, you will find a beautiful nightstand that works for you and your space. Choose wisely, and your nightstand will not only sit beside your bed – it will elevate your room!
