Bedside Tables Make A Night Stand

Bedside tables, nightstands or vanities are among the last things we see, more often than not host to lamps, books, vases, alarm clocks or in this most modern of times, personal devices. Those however, are only what is visible on the surface. Bedside tables may yield and reveal far, far more just beneath the surface.

As nightstands, bedside tables may hide from view exactly that which we wish kept hidden from view… the television remote for instance or other hidden pleasures like the comfort of a midnight snack or even that to which we would never dare to admit possessing during our daylight and waking hours… reading glasses.

As traditional décor elements, vanities or dressing tables herald us back to days in the recent past when formal was typical, almost as common as, well, a dressing table or vanity in the bedroom.

As with most bedroom furnishings, trends and styles can be contemporary or modern, borrowing from design trends of Europe and Italy; traditional borrowing from Americana, deco or French influences; or transitional, allowing for seamless movement between styles. Bedroom or bedside tables are often ideal décor elements in blending different decorating styles.

As global influences gradually move into the bedroom Eastern décor elements are growing increasingly popular including exotic finishes and materials for bedside tables.

Oriental bedside tables may feature rounded edges so as to incorporate Feng Shui when desired.

The juxtaposition of a square or rectangular bedside table with a round or oval table provides a unique and refreshing mix and match opportunity.
