Your bedroom should be a place to relax and recharge after a long day. While your bed takes centre stage in this retreat, your nightstand adds the finishing touches to your aesthetic.

If you’re thinking of investing in an Australian hardwood timber bed frame, you should also consider which bedside table options complement and express your personal taste.

1. Style Harmony

Take time to select or craft bedroom furniture that matches the style of your hardwood frame to create a cohesive look. Custom designs offer limitless possibilities, allowing you to craft a matching set or mix-and-match materials for an eclectic touch. For classic bed frames, opt for nightstands with similar wood types and details.

A darker bed frame would look stunning with matching bedside tables in the same rich timber, and the same applies for lighter wood bed frames. Modern frames pair well with sleek, minimalist designs featuring clean lines.

2. Size and Proportion

Ensure your bedside tables are proportionate to both your bed and bedroom space. Ideally, they should be level with or slightly lower than the top of your mattress, creating visual balance and easy access to your essentials. Keep about 15cm of space between the bedside table and bed to prevent your layout from looking too static.

3. Functionality

Think about the weight of the items you’ll be storing and the features that would enhance your daily routine. Do you need drawers with soft-close mechanisms to stash away books and personal items, or would open shelves with adjustable heights be better for showcasing decorative accents?

Consider nightstands with built-in charging stations, hidden compartments, or even wall-mounted options to provide additional functionality and save floor space.

4. Material Matters

Choose a nightstand made of sturdy wood that can support the weight and complement your timber bed frame. Australian hardwoods are a natural choice, known for their warmth, durability, and timeless appeal.

5. Personal Touches

Infuse your personality into your decor with meaningful accents. Display cherished photos, souvenirs, or artwork. Add a warm glow with a small lamp and a touch of nature with a potted plant. Experiment with different styles and materials.
