The best bedside tables to give your room a serious glow-up
We want them all - how many is too many for a bedroom?
A bedside table is an integral part of any bedroom. First and foremost, it's where you can place your lamp and alarm clock, along with — most importantly — your morning cup of tea (and that phone you're probably attached to). You can store your book(s) here too, and ideally hide extra clutter in the drawers.
But it also gives you an opportunity to get creative with styling, helping you to turn your bedroom into the calming sanctuary it should be. Candles, vases, little plants and photo frames will all give your space a bit more character.
There are plenty of styles available, from simple tables with long, elegant legs, to drawered options that maximise storage space. So, consider your room's needs and characteristics before purchasing — especially the available space and existing furniture. Below, we've found a range of bedside tables to suit all kinds of spaces, so there should be something for you.
Best bedside tables for 2025:
For a more design-forward piece in your bedroom, this burnt orange number by AM.PM is a great option. It has plenty of storage and we love the quirky shape of it to add interest to any room.
Known for their nostalgic locker-style designs, Mustard Made have expanded with a mood-boosting range of colours and we desperately want one in our house! We love the shorty design (especially in the shade Ocean) for the calmness it brings. And, inside you'll find 2 adjustable shelves for plenty of room for all your bedtime things.
This 2-drawer bedside table has a minimalist style, featuring a stylish geometric pattern on the front. This has plenty of storage for books, skincare, pajamas and other bedtime essentials
We love the simplicity in the design of this bedside table from DUSK and it features a hidden drawer to hide cords, skincare and other accessories, whilst the bottom section is perfect for your current book reading stack. Also available in black and cream, too.
ferm LIVING creates some extraordinary designs and this oblique stool is no exception. Yes it can be used as a stool, but we think it personally looks great as a bedside table for storing books, magazines, some dried flowers and your favourite candle for the ultimate ambience.
Steel furniture is very popular right now, but if you're not ready to fully commit to a larger item in your home, this bedside table is a gentle ease in. We love the sleek colour and the fact you can rotate it to hide the shelving for storing books and other knick knacks, too.
We're huge fans of floating bedside tables for something a little more unique and to add a point of interest in the bedroom. These beautiful side tables are made of oak wood and finished with a brown wood oil for a vintage look and feel. Plus, there's a small arch feature for storing your books which is genius.
Soft curves and light oak give a calming effect and we love this affordable number from Dunelm. Featuring two drawers with ample storage, it would look super chic when paired on both sides of the bed and warm toned bed sheets.
With two sockets and two USB ports, this bedside table allows you to hide wires easily. Plug in your lamp, alarm clock, or anything else you may need, and utilise easy access to USBs to charge Kindles and phones at the same time.
Two drawers and two shelves give you plenty of options to keep your essentials within reach, or tucked away.
The Hattie bedside table from Dusk is a chic but practical storage solution for your books, hand creams, jewellery and much more. We love the grooved and curved detailing, and the metal hardware for a touch of luxury, too.
Soho Home is constantly on our wishlist and this gorgeous bedside table was firmly at the top of it. With fluted oak wood, a curved shape, marble top and brass handles, it has all the features that we want in a bedside table. Now can someone buy this for us please?
Yes, this is expensive, but its unusual design makes it worth the splurge. Shining bone inlay has been laid carefully over a vibrant jade green frame to make a gorgeous boho table.
Pair with bedding in rich jewel tones to do it justice — it's a real statement piece for your master bedroom.
Grecian pieces are always on trend and this pillar-style table, with clever hidden storage and brushed brass handles, is an elegant vessel to bring classical form into your home.
Imagine waking up next to a work of art every morning! This poplar and beechwood-covered, three-drawer bedside table features a wonderful, tapestry-inspired design that brings nature into the heart of your bedroom's scheme.
Remarkably, it's a highly practical piece too, with ample storage space, anti-tip hardware and silky-smooth glides in each drawer.
