What should I look for in a nightstand?

Consider storage (drawers vs open shelf), height relative to your bed, and width relative to your space. A nightstand should have room for a lamp, phone charger, and a few essentials.

Q: How tall should a nightstand be?

Ideally, the top of your nightstand should be level with the top of your mattress, typically 24-28 inches. This makes reaching for your phone, lamp, or book comfortable from bed.

Q: Do I need two matching nightstands?

Not at all. Mismatched nightstands are a popular design choice. As long as they are similar in height, different styles can add visual interest to your bedroom.
