Bedside Tables and Night Stands for Every Bedroom

A good bedside table keeps the things you reach for at night close at hand, such as your phone, a glass of water, a book or a lamp. It also frames the bed and finishes the look of the room. The Home’s collection of bedside tables and night stands covers compact designs, drawer-style units, glass-top pieces and kids’ bedside tables, in finishes that include grey and oak. Order online with delivery across the UAE, or see them in person at our Dubai showrooms at Ibn Battuta Mall and City Land.

How to Choose the Right Bedside Table

Start with the bed, because the table needs to suit its height and width.

• Height: The top of the bedside table should sit roughly level with your mattress, or a few centimetres above or below. That keeps things within easy reach without stretching.
• Width and floor space: Leave enough room to walk around the bed. Compact bedside tables suit smaller bedrooms and narrower beds, while wider night stands work better with king-size beds and bigger rooms.
• Storage: Drawers keep chargers, glasses and small items out of sight. An open shelf is quicker to reach and feels lighter. Think about what you actually keep beside the bed before choosing.
• Surface: A glass top reflects light and looks lighter in a small room, while a solid top is more forgiving for lamps and everyday use. Check the top is big enough for your lamp base and phone.

Choosing a Finish

Grey is calm and neutral, and works well with upholstered beds, soft furnishings and light walls. Oak and natural wood tones add warmth and suit homes that mix wood with fabric and metal. If your bed frame and wardrobe are already one finish, you can match them for a clean look or pick a contrasting tone to add depth. For a coordinated bedroom, look at our bedroom sets, which pair beds and bedside tables in one range.

Bedside Tables by Bedroom Style

Modern and minimal: clean lines, flat fronts and simple handles. These fit contemporary apartments and work well with upholstered beds.

Compact and space-saving: slim bedside tables and smaller units suit studio apartments and single beds, where floor space is limited.

Statement and decorative: glass-top and more design-led pieces turn the bedside into a feature rather than just storage.

Kids’ bedrooms: smaller, simple designs sized for children’s beds. Browse the full kids bedroom range to keep the room matching.

One or Two? Pairing Bedside Tables

A matching pair on either side of the bed gives a balanced, hotel-style look and suits double and king-size beds. If space or budget is tight, one night stand on the side you use most is fine. Some people choose two different pieces in the same finish for a more relaxed look, which works as long as the heights are close.

Styling Your Bedside

Keep the surface for the things you actually use, and add one decorative item such as a small plant or a framed photo. A table lamp is the obvious partner, so check the lamp base fits comfortably on top, and make sure the shade sits at a height that lights a book without glaring in your eyes. Match the bedside table to nearby pieces like dressers & mirrors or a wardrobe to bring the room together, and add a bed bench if the room has space.

Care Tips

Wipe wood-finish and laminate surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away. Use a glass cleaner on glass tops, and use a coaster for drinks and hot cups. Keep drawers from being overloaded so the runners last longer.

FAQs

What height should a bedside table be?
It should sit roughly level with the top of your mattress, or a few centimetres either side, so you can reach it comfortably from bed.

What is the difference between a bedside table and a night stand?
They mean the same thing. “Bedside table” is more common in British English and in the UAE, and “night stand” is the American term. Both describe the small table next to the bed.

Do I need two bedside tables?
Not necessarily. A pair gives a balanced look and suits larger beds, but one on the side you use most works well in smaller rooms.

Which bedside table finish goes with a grey bed?
Both grey and oak work well. Matching grey keeps things calm and uniform, while oak adds warmth and contrast.
