Bedside table as a storage element

A bedside table is a piece of furniture designed for storing items next to the bed. These can be creams, medicines, chargers, headphones, glasses, a phone, or a favorite book. A lamp or night light can also be placed here. A convenient nightstand makes the space comfortable and cozy, as well as harmoniously complementing the interior. Matching furniture symmetrically decorates the bed area, making the space complete.

Bedside tables: a variety of styles
Bedside tables come in a variety of designs – furniture can be ordered for any interior style. The main ones are as follows:

Classic – these are elegant models, usually made of solid wood. They have carved elements, but overall look laconic and restrained.

Scandinavian style – these nightstands are made in light shades; they can be made of natural wood or MDF; the design is simple, without unnecessary decorative details.

Minimalism – this furniture has a laconic form, hidden sections, or mechanisms for opening drawers/shelves.

Country – these cabinets may have an “aged” effect, are most often made of natural wood, and are painted in pastel colors.

Loft – this furniture combines metal with wood and often has open shelves.

You can order stationary and mobile bedside tables. The latter are equipped with wheels, making them easy to move around when cleaning.

The importance of the proportions of the bedside table in relation to other furniture
When choosing bedside tables, it is worth considering their proportions in relation to other furniture, such as a sofa or bed. This is a decisive criterion, as it determines the convenience of using all the advantages of the bedside tables.

What to look for when choosing furniture:

Height—the ideal bedside table has a height that corresponds to the height of the mattress (slightly below or at the same level). This makes access to the drawers convenient.

Proportions – the nightstand should match the size of other furniture. For example, if the bed is massive, a small nightstand will look disproportionate, even if it is the right height.

Design – bedside nightstands should not overload the interior with an overly massive appearance, inappropriate amount of decor, or very bright accents.

It is better to order a nightstand together with a bed or bedroom set. Then the furniture will be created in a single design and will look harmonious in the space. But you can also buy nightstands separately. On the MAXIMEBELI website, you can order the desired model to be made to order: with the necessary parameters, functionality, and in the appropriate design.

Proper care for a bedside table
Even the highest quality furniture requires regular care to maintain it in its original condition. If you keep this in mind, the nightstand will serve you for many years without needing to be replaced.

Clean the furniture from dust with a soft cloth. Do not use rough brushes or abrasive chemicals for cleaning, as they damage the surface. Scratches become more noticeable over time, dirt accumulates in them faster, and the furniture becomes dull in appearance.

To clean dirt, use products specifically designed for your type of coating. Fittings also need attention: periodically check that the fasteners are tightened properly and lubricate the hinges regularly.

Creating a cozy atmosphere with the right nightstand
For a bedside table to help create a truly cozy atmosphere, it must harmonize with the interior. It is also better to choose models with closed shelves and drawers to avoid “visual noise”: then you can store a lot of things inside, but it will not overload the space. Open-type nightstands are suitable if you don't have many things or if they are mainly books. Don't overload the top shelf with a large number of items. It is better to have only a night light or lamp here, and hide everything else behind the cabinet doors.
