Bedside tables

Bedside table buyer’s guide

Bedside tables are a bedroom essential, and our extensive collection includes designs to suit every bedroom style, and every storage need, too. Because many of us have bedrooms that aren’t as large as we’d like, we offer a host of slim designs with proportions that will suit small bedrooms, as well as more sizeable designs. There are also styles for every bedroom scheme including decorative French-inspired bedroom tables, curvaceous and elegant Swedish designs, and modern tables with clean lines. Naturally, because they’re from The Dormy House, you can individualise your bedside table design, picking a paint colour from our collection. Our palette ranges from white and pale tones that’ll reflect the light to space-stretching effect, through elegant neutrals, to accent blues and on-trend darks. Send for free samples and you’ll see how the shades you prefer will look in the light conditions of your room. For designs that include drawers, there’s a fabulous selection of handle styles and materials to browse through, too.

Storage options for bedside tables

Our bedside table collection includes designs that prioritise storage as well as those that keep the look open with just a top surface or top plus shelf for all you want to keep immediately to hand at night. If your bedroom could do with a storage boost, go for a design such as our New Hampshire bedside chest of drawers, which has three drawers large enough to hold items of clothing as well as providing a surface for a bedside lamp and a mobile. Want even more storage? Our New Hampshire modular tallboy has four drawers to add to stash space. If you prefer a traditional cabinet design, our New Hampshire bedside cupboard will fit the bill, and has a top drawer as well. If you like the idea of a more minimal design, opt for the clean lines of our Tuvan bedside table or a simple pedestal like our round occasional table. Or you could opt for the classic style of our instant table. This Dormy House classic has a round top surface and fabric skirt of your choosing, and will give your bedroom luxury country hotel style. 


Find a bedside table for a small bedroom

If your bedroom – or a child’s room or guest space – is small, you can still accommodate a bedside table or a pair with our clever space-saving designs. Our range includes a compact version of our New Hampshire design in the slim 4 drawer bedside, which has good looks that’ll stand the test of time and plenty of storage inside. If yours is more boudoir than bedroom, you might like the French petite bedside table, which has elegantly detailed wooden legs. If your room is small, don’t just look at the width of your chosen design. Bedside tables on legs allow you to see the floor below and can make a small room feel larger because more of the space is on show. Our Tuvan two drawer bedside table has two drawers set high with lots of space underneath to take advantage of this effect. Consider finer shapes, too, to reduce bulk in a small bedroom, like the round occasional table or one of our French designs.

Bedside table style alternatives

Think about the lines of the bedside table that will best complement the remainder of your room scheme. If you’ve opted for curvaceous shapes, perhaps for a headboard or bedroom occasional chair, the sinuous outline of our Swedish tables could be the perfect finishing touch. With classic decor, our instant table with a fabric skirt could prove a worthy contender as a bedside table, or try the shapely detail of our French bedside table range. For a contemporary bedroom scheme the modern simplicity of our Tuvan bedside table should appeal, as will the unfussy style of the Tuvan two drawer table. And if you’re after timeless style, the New Hampshire bedside cabinet has enduring good looks.
