Most people agree that the most important bedroom purchase is a supportive, comfortable mattress<\/a>. But once you have a great bed setup<\/a>, it\u2019s time to move on to the rest of the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where nightstands come in. Nightstands are essential for storing your cell phone, reading glasses, and any other personal items you want within reach at night. They can also add a pop of style or color to the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know to pick the perfect nightstand (or nightstands!) for your bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose a nightstand <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, a nightstand needs to be functional, with enough tabletop space or storage to hold your nightly necessities. But nightstands can also add a little personality to the bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a deep dive into the key considerations for choosing a nightstand that will work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Style <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good nightstand complements the style of the room, says Alex Woogmaster, founder, creative director, and interior designer at Woogmaster Studio<\/a>. Is your bedroom styled like a serene retreat? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He recommends a nightstand style that coordinates with the existing decor. But if you have a high-contrast, high-style bedroom concept, he suggests a dramatic nightstand that stands out \u201clike colorful jewelry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also think outside the box, says Lisa Lee, chief creative officer at Rituals<\/a>, a creative studio in Nev. \u201cVintage and antique items are always winners, like a steamer trunk. A selection like this will feel collected and found instead of purchased right off the sales floor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Size <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPay attention to scale,\u201d says Lee. If you have a large room, you can go bigger or bolder with the nightstand. In cozy guest rooms<\/a>, consider a small nightstand with a light hanging above it instead of a lamp on the nightstand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
