When designing a well-balanced and inviting bedroom, the small details matter just as much as the large furniture pieces. Bedside tables, also known as nightstands, are essential yet often overlooked elements that bring functionality and visual harmony to your space.
Ashley Furniture offers a curated collection of stylish, practical, and long-lasting bedside tables designed to enhance your bedroom décor while keeping your nighttime essentials close at hand. Whether you’re drawn to modern minimalism, rustic charm, or classic elegance, you’ll find a nightstand that fits your personal taste and complements your bed frame, headboard, and overall bedroom style.
Why Are Bedside Tables Important?
More than just a place to set down your phone or book, bedside tables play a vital role in bedroom organisation and everyday convenience. They provide a dedicated space for:
· Lamps and lighting
· Alarm clocks or smart devices
· Reading materials and glasses
· Chargers, cables, and electronics
· Medicines, skincare, and bedtime routines
· Decorative touches like candles, plants, or framed photos
A well-chosen nightstand does more than store—it elevates the style and symmetry of your room, making it feel complete and cohesive.

FAQs: Bedside Tables
How do I choose the right bedside table height?
Ideally, your nightstand should be level with or slightly lower than your mattress height. This allows you to reach your items easily without straining or bending awkwardly.
Do I need two bedside tables?
For a symmetrical and balanced look—especially in master bedrooms—it’s recommended to have a nightstand on each side of the bed. However, small rooms or minimalist styles may call for just one.
What’s the difference between a nightstand and a bedside table?
These terms are often used interchangeably. However, a “nightstand” usually refers to a small table with drawers, while a “bedside table” may have open shelving or a more decorative form.
Are Ashley Furniture bedside tables pre-assembled?
Some nightstands come fully assembled, while others require simple at-home assembly. Product descriptions will indicate what’s required.
What styles are most popular right now?
Modern minimalism, rustic farmhouse, and mid-century designs are currently trending. However, timeless styles like classic wood or white-painted nightstands always remain in demand.
Can I use a bedside table as an end table or side table?
Yes! Many of our nightstands are versatile enough to work as living room side tables or entryway storage units, depending on your space and style.
