subject: A World Of Nightstand Furniture Online [print this page] All too often, we don't give a second thought to nightstand furniture. When we buy a bedroom suite, it just comes with it and we accept what we are offered. These pieces of furniture can serve so many purposes, though, that they deserve much more attention than they are usually given.
The average nightstand is a fairly boring looking piece of furniture. It has a single drawer on top with a fixed shelf underneath that serves no purpose other than to hold the table together and collect dust. They are of a standard height - just high enough for a reading lamp.
If you were to go online and see all the bedside tables that are available, you would realize that the space taken up by the ordinary nightstand is often wasted. Why should a bedside table be only big enough for a lamp and an alarm clock? Why not buy something that is aesthetically pleasing and utilitarian at the same time? Even standard size night stands come in a such a wide range of styles and finishes that you can't help but find one that will be perfect for you.
If your dresser drawers are crammed with clothes, why not get a couple of large sized nightstands with drawers for storing underwear and other smaller items of clothing. Two tables like these will give you four extra drawers for storage plus a nice big top for display.
If you like to listen to music while you're in bed, you can get a nightstand that is made specifically to hold a compact disc player and dozens of your favorite CDs. Today's entertainment systems include mini-speakers that really deliver high quality sound. One speaker placed discreetly on opposite sides of the bed make for an optimum listening experience.
Don't limit yourself to standard sizes when you're looking for bedside furniture. There is nothing that says you can't get oversized tables if space allows. If the floor space is limited, don't limit yourself to standard heights. Get tall narrow cabinets. There are some stunning pieces available that have been handcrafted and copied from antiques. A pair of tall bedside tables like these can hold dozens of books for easy access from your bed.
Why not take advantage of the space next to your bed to indulge in furniture that is round or otherwise unusually shaped? When you look online, you will find dozens of tables to choose from. You can get just about anything from modern glass and metal round night stands to sleek cherry veneer Danish style tables.
Next time you are thinking about redecorating options for your bedroom, give extra thought to nightstand furniture. Little touches like that make all the difference to your room's decor.
