The bedroom is a sanctuary for those who live it it. It is the place they go to for relaxation, rest and security. This is the space where they can fully express themselves in the choice of the interior décor. It is therefore important that the style represents the individuals.

When choosing a bedside table consider the style of the room, how it will be used, and the height and size of the bed. It is important that the table is at the right height for the bed. If it is too small, it will be dwarfed by the bed, if it is too tall, it will lose functionality. Don't be afraid to express individual style in the choice of a bedside table. There are so many to choose from. Here are 7 great ideas for bedside tables.

The Crate Table

The size of the crate is lower than a normal sized bedside table. This may create a problem in a normal bedroom. This bed however is also lower than a normal bed, so it matches perfectly. This table was made by Madeve Holzliebe of Berlin.

The mirrored finish of the cupboard reflects these colours and designs, making it appear to almost disappear into the design of the room. The height of these draws matches this bed perfectly. The three draws allowing plenty of storage for personal items. Consider using mirrors in any design to allow items to disappear into their surroundings.

The Minimalist Bedside Table

The minimalist design movement was most popular in the 1960s. It took inspiration from traditional Japanese design which dictated simple, geometric shapes and natural materials. Although this piece does not use natural materials, it definitely uses a simple geometric design.  The whole table consists of a round plastic table top with three legs and a metal bar encircling three quarters of the way around the top of the table. The table fits in well in this minimalist room. The white of the table matches the white of the bedhead. The simple style of the table continues the simplicity seen in the bed design. Continue this white theme by matching it with a white rug, or a plain white chair in the corner of the room.

The bedroom is the one room in the house that truly represents our own style. It is the place where we retreat to to relax and to be ourselves. It makes sense that this is the place that should represent individual style. The bedside table should be chosen to express our needs and style. Choose one that meets the requirements of the residents and  their individual tastes. Be brave and make it a central feature of the room. Create the design around this piece.
