Nightstands

Cherry 2 (Two) Drawer Night Stand by Prepac
 
The nightstand or bedside table is a necessity for any bedroom. It can hold a lamp, alarm clock and other bedroom essentials that are in easy reach during the night. Nightstands usually have 1 or more drawers, sometimes with storage underneath. Styles, colors, decorative touches and practical features are among the choices you have with nightstands.
 
Styles
 
  • Traditional
Traditional nightstands can complement a formal bedroom with any number of design elements including curved accents, decorative posts, hand-carved leaf, cabriole legs, and rich wood finishes. Some traditional nightstands have additional luxurious features, such as felt-lined drawers and hidden jewelry drawers.
 
  • Contemporary
The modern feel of these nightstands is evident in their clean, sleek lines, fewer decorative elements. Most are wood, with some modern metal designs. Their finishes can range from light woods to dark woods to bright colors.
 
  • Country
The casual feel of the country style nightstand comes through in simple designs that can include softly curving lines, often with few decorative touches, warm wood or neutral finishes, planked accent panels, and hardware that uses antiqued brass, wrought iron, ceramic or wood.
 
  • Transitional
A combination of styles sets these nightstands apart. Some mix country and Spanish, highlighting a simple design with antique iron handles and warm wood finish. Other nightstands blend traditional and contemporary styles, with rich finishes and simple designs.
 
  • Cottage or Nautical
Louvered panels, ball-shaped drawer pulls and an antique white finish are hallmarks of this style of nightstands. The clean, fresh look can adapt to some country and contemporary style furnishings.
 
What to Look For
 
When choosing a nightstand, look for better constructed nightstands with such features as:
 
  • Solid wood drawers with English dovetailing, for durability
  • Tongue-and-groove drawer bottoms, for added strength
  • Wood-on-wood drawer glides, for smooth opening and closing
  • Dust bottoms, for cleaner storage
 
Additional uses
 
Although a practical furnishing for a bedroom, traditional nightstands can also serve as accent pieces in formal living rooms or other well-appointed rooms that need a smaller accent table. Contemporary, country and other styles of nightstands can be useful additions to other rooms, providing a table for a lamp, storage area for reading material, or a handy place to set a telephone.
 
The craftsmanship and artistry of a nightstand will definitely enhance the overall beauty of a bedroom or other room in your home.
