25 bedside tables that are as stylish as they are functional

A decent bedside table is an integral part of any bedroom scheme. First and foremost, it gives you a place to pop your lamp and alarm clock, along with your morning cup of tea and nighttime water glass. You can stash your book here and, if your unit has drawers, it'll keep items tidily out of the way without cluttering up your surfaces.

But form is just as important as function. A bedside table also gives you a new space to get creative with styling, helping you to turn your bedroom into the calming sanctuary it should be. Candles, vases of flowers, little plants and photo frames will all give your space a bit more character.

There are plenty of styles available so consider your room's needs before purchasing. Think about the space you have available to you, along with your existing furniture. You don't need to go completely matchy-matchy to make a cohesive scheme, but if your bed is a minimalist wrought iron frame, a chunky set of oak tables likely won't be best.

Here are 25 of our favourite bedside tables for 2023 that are as stylish as they are functional.
