the modern wooden bedside tables or nightstands with drawers, what’s the difference?
Do you like to call it a nightstand or bedside table? Is there really a difference?
A bedside table is generally defined as a small, low bedside table with drawers.
A bedside table is defined as a small table next to the bed.
What is the difference between the two styles of furniture?
Some believe there is only one main difference. Bedside tables are expected to have at least one drawer, but bedside tables do not.
Can a bedside table have drawers and never be a bedside table?
The terms nightstand and nightstand are often used interchangeably because they perform similar functions. Also called a bedside table.
nightstand
Bedside tables serve many purposes, from balancing the look and style of a room to providing storage and a convenient surface to easily reach what you need in bed.
nightstand
Bedside tables are intended to be practical and provide storage for the most accessible items in your bed. A bedside table may not offer as much storage space as a bedside table, and it does not offer anything.

Finding a nightstand that matches your needs and interior style is important, but it’s all about choosing materials. Bedside tables are made of everything from metal and marble to rattan and wood.
You can choose something that doesn’t necessarily “match” the rest of the bedroom. For example, if you have a wood frame bed, try complementing and contrasting it with something other than wood.
wood
Wooden bedside tables suit any style but are popular in the rustic farmhouse and mid-century bedroom designs. They’re durable and come in many finish items to suit your space and style. Wooden bedside tables are classic and usually sold in pairs.
metal
Effortless and durable, the metal nightstand is perfect for a modern industrial bedroom look. Do not worry. Bedroom metal finishes don’t have to match.
rattan/wicker
Rattan accents add softness and unique texture to any space. We love wicker and rattan in eclectic, Scandinavian, coastal, and transitional spaces. For something a little different, try a few mismatched rattan bedside tables.
advantages of both
Nightstands and bedside tables complement the style of the room, come in different shapes and sizes, and perform different functions.
Our Amish Log bedside table (DutchCrafters bestseller) offers an optional storage compartment and three different drawer options to choose from.
The Amish Collet Nightstand features a convenient pull-out top.
Both can be used to house lamps, alarm clocks, telephones, drinks, remote controls, books, etc.
The nightstand storage drawer keeps items such as medications, glasses, and reading materials neat and easily accessible.
Dimensions of the bedside table and bedside table
Ideally, the top of your nightstand or nightstand should line up with the top of your mattress or crib. This makes it easier to grab a drink, turn on a lamp, or hit the snooze button on your watch or phone while you’re in bed. Higher or lower than your bed may seem out of place.
To balance out the look of your bedroom, consider pairing a large bed with a large nightstand and a small bed with a smaller one to look great.
bedside table style
Think about how you want your bedroom to look and whether or not you want matching bedside tables. Matching nightstands are great, but non-matching ones are very trendy and look cool.
For example, a shabby chic nightstand can look really stylish if you place a mid-century nightstand on the other side or if you combine modern and traditional designs. See which style suits you best or see different combinations of interior styles to coordinate the furniture in each room.
modern
Modern bedside tables are very stylish, usually black and white with chrome accents. Modern design takes a risk and represents the new and the present, so asymmetrical and offbeat in this style.
mid century modern
Tapered legs, neutral finishes, shapely patterns, and geometric graphics are some of the hallmarks of mid-century modern style. Mid-Century Modern nightstands often have wood grain details and a drawer or two for added convenience.
farmer
Farmhouse nightstands have X-shaped designs on the sides, antique metal and brushed nickel hardware, distressed wood, drawers, and sometimes baskets. It’s an inviting and comfortable style that goes with any look (combining firm and modern for a completely unique and updated look).
Bohemia
Nothing is wrong with the bohemian style, so you can’t go wrong. Boho is often associated with an eclectic style, so now is a great time to experiment with mismatched bedside tables in your bedroom.
Should the nightstand or bedside table match?
Gone are the days when your bedroom furniture collection had to match. Depending on your preference, you can choose to have nightstands match your bedroom collection or let your mismatched furniture collection work to your advantage. Matching furniture helps bring the room together and add balance.
Mismatched furniture tickles the sense of adventure and contributes to a more casual and eclectic look.
If nightstands and nightstands aren’t working for you, look for ones with finishes that match your color palette or materials similar to your existing bedroom furniture.
