A nightstand, also sometimes called a bedside table, is an ideal piece of furniture to have in the bedroom as you will have a flat and sturdy surface to place your night lamp on.
It also gives you a dedicated space to hold your books, mobile phone, keys, flashlight and other essentials – all within reach if and when you need any one of these even in the middle of the night and while you are in bed.
There are nightstands designed for kids’ bedrooms, guest rooms and master’s bedrooms – all of various styles, colors and sizes.
The size of a nightstand should not be higher than your bed as you would not want to accidentally bump your head on the side of the table as you turn in your sleep.
Generally, you can find nightstands that are about 24 to 30 inches high, 16 to 19 inches in depth and 24 to 26 inches wide. You can get these ready-made from furniture suppliers or you can also make your own night tables if you want a customized size and style.
