What we’re loving this month: The essential role of your nightstand
When it comes to bedroom furniture, nightstands often don't get the attention they deserve. However, these small yet mighty pieces play a crucial role in both the functionality and aesthetics of your bedroom.
Here are some compelling reasons why nightstands are a must-have along with links to shop some of our favourited choices:
Convenient Storage
Nightstands provide a convenient place to store items you need close at hand. Whether it's your favourite book, reading glasses, or a glass of water, having a nightstand means you don't have to get out of bed to access these essentials. Many nightstands come with drawers or shelves, offering additional storage for items like chargers, medications, or personal items.
We’re loving the Keane nightstand for that mix of open and closed storage.
Organized Space
A clutter-free bedroom promotes relaxation and better sleep. Nightstands help keep your space organized by providing a designated spot for your nighttime essentials. This can reduce the likelihood of misplacing items and make your bedtime routine more efficient.

Support for Lighting
Having a nightstand next to your bed is perfect for placing a bedside lamp. This provides you with the necessary lighting for reading or winding down before sleep without having to rely on overhead lights. It also makes it easier to turn off the light without getting out of bed.
If you have space, a large nightstand like this one from Target is ideal for a large table lamp!
Versatile Furniture
Nightstands are incredibly versatile and can be used in various ways beyond the bedroom. They can serve as end tables in the living room, extra storage in a home office, or even a small coffee station in a guest room. Their multifunctional nature makes them a valuable addition to any home.
We love the colour and size of the Lilia nightstand from West Elm. It can be moved to almost any room and still be quite useful.
Aesthetic Appeal
Nightstands can significantly enhance the overall look of your bedroom. They come in various styles, materials, and finishes, allowing you to choose one that complements your bedroom decor. A well-chosen nightstand can add a touch of elegance, warmth, or modernity to your space.

Nightstands are more than just a place to put your alarm clock. They offer practical storage, enhance bedroom organization, and contribute to the overall aesthetic of your space. By choosing the right nightstand, you can create a more functional, stylish, and comfortable bedroom environment.
So, next time you're considering bedroom furniture, don't overlook the humble nightstand – it might just be the piece that ties your room together.
