9 Bedside Tables Ride High on Style
Traditional, minimal, vibrant, zany -- these beauties can up the ante in any bedroom
Bedside tables are an essential part of the bedroom for most of us – the place feels complete with that little stand by the bed. A storage space for essentials, a display counter for your favourite photo, a base for a lamp, a place to park the books you’re reading – these tables can come in handy in more ways than one. But high-on-function shouldn’t allow a cop-out on the style quotient. Check out how these stylish tables go beyond being sidekicks of a bed and add so much oomph to the bedroom.
1. A sleek side table in dark brown breaks the dominance of neutral hues in this bedroom. It lends a dual tone to the decor without creating too stark a contrast. The shiny finish of the table offsets the matte texture of the wall and the bed’s soft furnishings. Meanwhile, its rounded corners resonate with the soft edges of the padded headrest that extend beyond the bed, stretching across the wall.
2. In a room full of strong colours and vibrant patterns, the bright-red bedside table attracts the most attention. Its scarlet contrasts with the blue of the room but its lines and style match the other furniture pieces in the room. The presence of the bold red next to equally strong blue creates drama in the decor.
3. A vintage trunk doubles as a bedside table in this contemporary bedroom. Its jute-like surface finds resonance with the overall decor, with the wooden flooring and the large metallic work of art on the wall.
4. The curvy legs and the cutwork at the base of the table represent a typical traditional style. However, what sets this one apart is the distressed finish, which gives it a repurposed look. This also helps the table stand out instead of blending in with the background.
5. The cuboid side table blends well with the muted bedroom setup. The interplay of different tones of grey with white gives this room a light-and-dark effect – see how the minimalist table in dark grey contrasts gently with the white marble floor. The angular lamp complements the table and enhances the contemporary and edgy look of the room.

6. This bedside table in solid yellow introduces a pop of colour to the two-toned bedroom. There is a subtle interplay between the table and the wall cladding – the hourglass-inspired shape of the table and the geometric patterns on the wall add another dimension to the room.
7. The retro look of the simply designed side table works beautifully with the industrial effect of the lamp – together they make for a striking corner against the stark white walls of this bedroom.
8. This unique tall bedside table matches the grandeur of the large four-poster bed. See how the slim bar across its poles creates a spot for a hanging lantern. The table is made of the same oak wood as the bed. The golden lampshade and the circle of small human figurines below it look like an art installation in this sober room. The two-tiered tabletop provides more space for keeping accessories.
9. Three stools of differing heights bring a hint of gentle curves against the aggressive angular lines of the accent piece behind the bed. Their silhouette also mirrors the curling stems of the Moroccan chandelier.
