Explore NowNightstands & Bedside Tables for Every Bedroom Style
A great nightstand does more than hold a lamp. It anchors your bedroom, keeps your essentials close, and adds a touch of style that makes your space feel complete. At RC Willey, we carry a wide selection of nightstands, bedside tables, and small nightstands so you can find the perfect match for your room—no matter your layout, décor, or storage needs.
Whether you’re making over your primary bedroom or setting up a guest room, the right bedside table makes all the difference. From modern designs to rustic finishes, compact nightstands for small spaces to extra-wide two-drawer options, we’ve got something for every home and every style.
Why a Nightstand Matters
Nightstands are one of those pieces of furniture you don’t realize you rely on until you don’t have one. They provide a convenient landing spot for all the things you reach for daily—your phone, glasses, water glass, book, or alarm clock. But beyond convenience, they also round out the look of your bedroom.
A good bedside table brings balance to your bed, adds height and dimension to the room, and gives you dedicated storage that keeps your space clean and clutter-free. Think of it as functional décor: it works hard while making your room look pulled together and polished.
What to Look for in a Nightstand
Every bedroom is different, and the nightstand that works for a large primary suite might not be the same one you need for a small apartment. Here are a few things to consider before choosing the right bedside table:
- Height:
A nightstand should sit roughly level with the top of your mattress—typically between 24 and 30 inches tall. This makes it comfortable to grab anything you need while lying down. If you’re using a tall mattress or an adjustable base, make sure to measure first.
- Storage Needs:
Do you want a clean, minimal look or extra room for chargers, books, and bedside necessities?
Common storage styles include:
- Open shelf: Simple storage, easy access
- One drawer: A clean look with hidden storage
- Two or more drawers: Ideal for clothing, devices, or anything you want to keep tucked away
- Cabinet-style: Great for bulky items or a more furniture-forward look
- Size & Space:
If your room is small or you’re tight on floor space, a small nightstand with a slim profile can give you the functionality you need without crowding the room. For larger bedrooms, wider nightstands help create a balanced look on each side of the bed.
- Materials:
RC Willey carries nightstands in a wide range of materials:
- Solid wood
- Wood veneers
- Metal
- Glass
- Upholstered and textured designs
Solid wood nightstands give your room a timeless feel, while metal or glass add a modern touch. Transitional and rustic options can blend with almost any style.
- Added Features:
Today’s nightstands do more than hold a lamp. Look for:
- Built-in USB ports
- Power outlets
- Soft-close drawers
- LED lighting
- Cord management openings
Features like these make your bedside table even more useful—especially if you charge your phone or tablet at night.
Types of Nightstands We Carry
RC Willey offers a wide variety of bedside tables to match every style and space. Here are some of the most popular categories:
- Traditional Nightstands: Classic, timeless designs with warm wood finishes, decorative details, and durable construction. These bedside tables pair beautifully with traditional bedroom sets and provide ample storage.
- Modern Nightstands: If you love clean lines and simple shapes, modern nightstands are a perfect fit. These typically feature smooth surfaces, neutral colors, and hidden storage for a sleek, uncluttered look.
- Contemporary Nightstands: Contemporary bedside tables blend trend-forward designs with everyday functionality. Expect unique shapes, mixed materials, and stylish finishes that bring fresh energy to your bedroom.
- Rustic & Farmhouse Nightstands: Think weathered wood, antique-style hardware, and cozy, natural finishes. Rustic and farmhouse styles create a warm, relaxed feel—perfect for making your bedroom a comfortable retreat.
- Industrial Nightstands: Metal frames, wood tops, and simple silhouettes define this look. Industrial nightstands add a bold, urban style to your space and pair well with loft-inspired décor.
- Mid-Century Modern Nightstands: Tapered legs, clean lines, and warm wood tones give mid-century nightstands their signature charm. These designs work well with both retro and modern décor.
- Small Nightstands for Compact Spaces: If you’re working with a smaller room, a small nightstand can give you the functionality you need without overwhelming your space. Look for narrow profiles, slim drawers, or wall-mounted options to maximize your room’s layout.
Choosing the Right Nightstand for Your Bedroom
The best nightstand is the one that matches your bed size, your personal style, and the way you use your space. Here are a few tips to help guide your choice:
- For Queen Beds: Most people choose a nightstand between 22 and 28 inches wide. This gives a balanced look and enough storage without overpowering the room.
- For King Beds: With a wider bed, you’ll want a more substantial bedside table—usually 28 to 32 inches wide. Larger nightstands bring visual balance and provide more storage.
- For Small Rooms: Look for compact pieces under 20 inches wide or consider an open-shelf bedside table to make the room feel lighter. Floating nightstands are also great for tight spaces.
- For Kids’ Rooms: Choose a sturdy, easy-to-clean nightstand with rounded edges. Smaller-scale pieces look more proportional next to youth beds.
- For Guest Rooms: A simple one-drawer bedside table offers just enough storage for guests’ essentials without taking up too much space.
Styling Your Nightstand
Styling your nightstand can elevate the entire bedroom. Here are a few ideas:
- Add a Lamp: A bedside lamp adds soft lighting while creating height and balance.
- Keep Essentials Handy: Think phone charger, book, glasses, or a water carafe. Nightstands should be functional first.
- Use Decorative Accessories: A plant, picture frame, or tray adds personality without cluttering the space.
- Keep It Clean: Leave a little empty space on top. A tidy nightstand helps your bedroom feel calmer and more relaxing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What’s the difference between a nightstand and a bedside table?
They’re essentially the same thing. A nightstand traditionally includes drawers, while a bedside table might be more open or minimal. Today, the terms are used interchangeably.
- What size nightstand should I get?
Choose a nightstand that’s roughly the same height as the top of your mattress. Width depends on your room size:
- Small rooms: 16–20"
- Average rooms: 20–28"
- Large rooms or king beds: 28–32"
- Do I need two nightstands?
It’s not required, but having one on each side of the bed creates visual balance and gives each sleeper their own space.
- What’s the best nightstand for small bedrooms?
A small nightstand with a narrow frame, floating design, or single drawer works best. Look for compact options under 20 inches wide.
- Should nightstands match my bed?
They don’t have to. Matching sets look polished, while mixing styles can make your room feel more modern and personalized.
