Although bedside tables are easy to find in many online furniture shops in Singapore, you should not rush and just pick the first and cheapest one to see. Indeed, there are a few things to consider before picking the right one for you. Let’s take a closer look together.

What is your bedroom style?

Your bedside table should fit with the style you want to decorate your bedroom in. What style are your bed and your wardrobe? What feel are you trying to give to the room?

If you really have no idea, the first step you can take is to go take a look around the furniture stores in Singapore. That way, you will know what is available on the market, and what can fit your budget.

Obviously, the easiest thing to do is to buy a set where the bed, the wardrobe and the bedside tables all match. However, if this is not possible, you have several options:

• Buy a bedside table in the same style, colour or material as the rest of the room to make it look as similar as possible
• Buy something completely different and bring a vibe to the room and look less formal

Whatever you decide on, there should be at least one matching element. It could be the colour, the shape, or the material used, for example.

Assess your space

If you live in a small apartment, your bedside table is also a great opportunity to add more storage space. Before jumping into anything, assess how much space is available around your bed to fit the bedside tables. This will determine how wide or narrow they should when the time comes to make your choice in the furniture stores in Singapore.

Once you have figures this out, decide on the amount of storage space you would like to have. Some bedside tables can offer as much as three drawers, while others look more like a mini bookshelf. The best height to choose is generally the following: the top of your bedside table should come at the same height as the top of your mattress.

Watch for scale

The last thing you should be careful about when browsing the furniture stores in Singapore looking for a bedside table is the scale of your bedroom. Indeed, if you have a small bedroom, you should not go for the biggest and highest bedside table you can fit, as it will not look proportionate.

In addition, if you have a small bed, it is better to go for small bedside tables as well, or even no bedside table at all. On the contrary, a very large bed will require larger bedside tables as well. If your bed if fitted with a headboard, you can also indulge in a slightly higher bedside table.
