How to Choose the Perfect Bedside Table and Dresser Set for Your Bedroom

A bed plays the main role in a bedroom, while the tiny furniture items, like bedside tables, dressers, and storage furniture, decide the efficiency of the whole setup in the bedroom. The same thing happens in all our clients' cases. They love the brand-new bed frame, but do not have any place for a lamp, a book, or even the folded clothes.

Think About What You Need First

Consider your lifestyle before making any purchase of a bedside table and dresser set:

• Do you like to read in bed and require a place for a lamp and a book?
• Do you recharge your mobile devices at night and require a drawer for the cords?
• Do you need additional storage for your clothes, or do your wardrobes take care of everything?
• Do you share your bed and require tables on both sides?

This list will help you to choose furniture which deserves its place.

 Proportion in Height

Height is important, perhaps more than many people realise. Your bedside table and dresser set need to be at eye level with your mattress – not any higher and certainly not lower. This will allow you easy access to your lamp or water without having to lean over unnecessarily. 

For those with taller dressers, it is important for them to get smaller bedside tables to create a balanced and proportionate look. It is always recommended to measure your bed height before deciding on your bedside table or dresser.

 Function Before Design

Think about what you need:

• Drawer number – one or two drawers if you are not a heavy user of your bedside tables; more drawers for storage of smaller things
• Depth – larger drawers for clothing or other bulky items; smaller drawers for chargers, glasses, books, etc.
• Finish – a bedside table and tallboy set with matching wood tones or handle style throughout the room creates consistency in design.

The Crescent Bedside Table from Elegant Collections illustrates this perfectly. This elegant piece combines the deep brown finish with striking gold ring pulls and drawers for both functionality and style. It is available in a compact form suitable for use on either side of the bed.

Creating an Integrated Bedroom

An authentic bedside table and dresser combination will only function successfully if all pieces contain matching timbers, hardware, or legs. If additional vertical storage space is desired, then a bedside table and tallboy set will provide the required matching gold or black accents so as not to create any visual discrepancies within the bedroom.

Why Choose Elegant Collections?

At Elegant Collections, we design our bedside tables, dressers, and tallboys to sit together naturally, not as separate purchases that happen to match by luck. A well-selected bedside table and tallboy set or a dresser set will allow you to achieve an authentic boutique-hotel atmosphere without making any assumptions.
