Frequently Asked Questions
What height should a bedside table be relative to my mattress?
Ideally, a bedside table should sit level with or slightly below the top of your mattress, making it easy to reach items without having to lean up or down too far.
Do bedside tables need to match on both sides of the bed?
Not necessarily. Many Australian homes intentionally mix bedside table styles or sizes for a more curated, eclectic look, as long as they share a common material or tone.
What storage features are common in bedside tables?
Most bedside tables include one to two drawers and sometimes an open shelf below, providing space for books, chargers, or everyday essentials within easy reach of the bed.
How much surface space do I need on a bedside table?
Enough room for a lamp, a glass of water, and a phone or book is generally sufficient, so a surface of around 40cm x 40cm is a comfortable minimum for most needs.
Can bedside tables be used in other rooms besides the bedroom?
Yes, bedside tables often work well as compact side tables in living rooms or hallways, particularly smaller drawer-style units that suit tight spaces.
