A bedside cabinet, also known as a nightstand or bedside table, is a small piece of furniture with storage (like drawers or shelves) placed next to a bed. It provides a convenient surface for essentials like a lamp, phone, or book, and offers storage for items like medications, reading glasses, or other personal belongings. 

Purpose and function

Convenient storage: The primary purpose is to keep essential items within arm's reach of someone in bed.

Surface space: Provides a surface for a lamp, alarm clock, a glass of water, or decorations.

Clutter control: Drawers and shelves help to keep the bedside area tidy by storing items out of sight.

Differentiation: While the terms are often used interchangeably, "nightstand" sometimes implies more storage (drawers, doors) compared to a simpler "bedside table". 

Common features

Drawers: Keep items private and protected from dust.

Open shelves: Allow for easy access to items or decorative storage baskets.

Doors: Some cabinets have a small door to conceal contents.

Mobility: Some models, especially in healthcare settings, come with casters for easy movement. 

To choose a bedside cabinet, first ensure it's the right height (level with or slightly lower than your mattress) and width (proportional to your bed). Then, consider its storage needs based on what you need to store, and select a style and material that complements your existing bedroom decor. 

Size and placement

Height: The ideal height is level with the top of your mattress to allow for easy access to items in the dark. A little lower is better than too high, which can be difficult to reach.

Width: Choose a width proportional to your bed to avoid an unbalanced look.

Twin bed: 17–20 inches wide.

Queen bed: 20–26 inches wide.

King bed: 24 inches or wider.

Depth: Aim for a depth of about 18 inches for most nightstands. 

Style and material

Style: Choose a style that complements your bedroom's overall aesthetic, like modern, rustic, or traditional. It should "complement" the other furniture, not necessarily "match" it perfectly.

Material: Consider durability and your personal preference. Popular options include wood for a timeless look, glass for elegance, or acrylic for a modern feel.

Color and texture: Don't be afraid to mix colors and textures for a more interesting look. In a neutral room, a cabinet with a pop of color or unique texture can serve as a focal point. 

Function and storage

Storage needs: Decide how much storage you need. Cabinets with drawers or shelves are a good choice for storing books, electronics, and personal items.

Function: A bedside cabinet should be functional for your nightly routine. If you need to place a lamp, ensure the table is stable and the height works for reading.
