HOW TO STYLE YOUR NIGHTSTAND 8 DIFFERENT WAYS::

WHEN IT COMES TO CHOOSING A NIGHTSTAND, THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT “RULES OF THUMB” TO KEEP IN MIND. FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU'LL WANT TO ENSURE THE CORRECT HEIGHT OF YOUR NIGHTSTAND/SIDE TABLE FOR BOTH AESTHETIC AND FUNCTIONALITY PURPOSES. A GOOD “RULE” IS THAT THE TOP OF THE NIGHTSTAND SHOULD BE AROUND THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE TOP OF YOUR MATTRESS. A FEW INCHES SHORTER OR EVEN TALLER IS OKAY, BUT YOU WON'T WANT TO GO MORE THAN 3" TALLER OR LOWER THAN THE TOP OF YOUR MATTRESS. THIS ENSURES THAT WHILE IN BED, IT WILL BE EASY TO REACH OVER AND GRAB YOUR DRINK, PLACE YOUR PHONE OR TURN OFF YOUR ALARM CLOCK! A STANDARD HEIGHT BED HAS A MATTRESS THAT IS NORMALLY ABOUT 23"-26" ABOVE THE GROUND (USUALLY AROUND 25") SO A NIGHTSTAND WITHIN THIS RANGE OF HEIGHT IS A SAFE CHOICE. IF YOU HAVE A TALLER BED AND A MATTRESS AT 28"-33" HIGH, PLAN ACCORDINGLY AND GO FOR A NIGHTSTAND WITHIN THE SAME RANGE OF HEIGHT.

we recommend choosing a NIGHTSTANDs that MAINTAINs A SIMPLE AND CLEAN AESTHETIC WITH STRAIGHT LINES AND SMOOTH CONSISTENT TONES; HOWEVER, UTILIZING A DIFFERENT MATERIAL WILL CREATE JUST ENOUGH CONTRAST TO INTRODUCE SUBTLE INTEREST BETWEEN THE NIGHTSTANDS AND THE BED.
