Hide clutter and make a style statement at the same time

A decent bedside table is an integral part of any bedroom scheme. First and foremost, it gives you a place to pop your lamp and alarm clock, along with your morning cuppa and nighttime water glass. You can also stash your book here and, if you opt for a unit with drawers, it'll give you somewhere to keep items tidily that'd just be cluttering up your surfaces otherwise.

But form is just as important as function, and a bedside table also gives you a new space to get creative with styling, helping you to turn your bedroom into the calming sanctuary it should be. Candles, vases of flowers, little plants and photo frames will all give your room a bit more character.

There are plenty of styles available so consider your room's need before purchasing. Think about the space you have available to you and your existing furniture. You don't need to go completely matchy-matchy to make a cohesive scheme, but if your bed is a minimalist wrought iron frame, a chunky set of oak tables likely won't be best.

We've found 26 bedside tables for 2022 that are as stylish as they are functional.

Slim black frames, stylish curved finishes and genuine Italian marble will make this a seriously chic addition to your bedroom. Pair with crisp, fresh white bedding and keep the decorative items to a minimum – a simple black lamp is all this table needs.
