How to Pair a Bed & Nightstand
See our top tips to mix and match pieces for a restful retreat.
Create the Perfect Combo
Size It Up
- Pay attention to proportions—the wider your bed, the wider nightstands can be.
- Choose a nightstand that is the same height or slightly higher than the top of your mattress.
Consider Materials
Design Tip:
Pick a stone or ceramic top for your nightstand so you can set your water down without worry.
Add Function
- Maximize space with a storage bed and a nightstand (or small dresser) with drawers.
- Pick a nightstand that can hold your bedside necessities from a table lamp and books to a phone charger.
Design Tip:
End tables make great nightstand alternatives, especially if you don’t need a lot of storage.
