Nightstands and You
Are you thinking of buying a nightstand, but aren’t sure what to look for? When it is time to finish the look and functional feel of each of your home’s bedrooms, choosing the right dresser nightstands can help it all come together.
A nightstand is an end table for the bedroom. In almost every case, it stands beside your bed as a useful space for storing and displaying the things any good end table might: a table lamp, an alarm clock, a book or magazine, a pair of glasses, a small plant, a drinking glass, a framed picture. A fine place to keep your alarm clock, a novel you’re reading and your reading glasses, dresser nightstands can help you attractively organize the little things in life that really matter.
A fine place to keep your alarm clock and a current novel and your reading glasses, dresser nightstands can help you attractively organize the little things in life that really matter. If you have a lively/early morning routine, then keep an eye out for a nightstand with expanded surface space for everything you’ll need upon waking up. If you enjoy a late-night read, a shelf for your books and/or magazines can be invaluable, especially if you’re in the middle of several books.
As you consider one piece or another, keep in mind this color palette rule of thumb: Dark colors absorb light while light colors reflect it. That means that a black nightstand or walnut nightstand will tastefully anchor a bright room with a lot of light while a white nightstand, oak nightstand, maple nightstand or cherry nightstand will add brightness to an otherwise dark room. Metal nightstands are less common, but a polished, reflective metal surface can fulfill the same space-enhancing principles of a white nightstand.
All night stands are built with your basic bedside requirements in mind. There are important distinctions in nightstand utility and style, but with a firm grasp on the basics, choosing the ideal night stand for your bedroom will be a snap.
