20 Best Small Bedside Tables and Nightstands for Small Bedrooms: All Budgets and Styles

Finding bedside tables for small bedrooms is tricky, we hear you. We’re on the clock all the time hunting them down for clients. The struggle is real and the hustle is deep.

The major problem you often face is trying to squeeze two nightstands or side tables either side of the bed. Sometimes the bed frame takes up so much space you’re stuck wondering if you go for one just bedside in a large size, or try and find two smaller or narrower ones instead.

Our advice: always fit two in if you can. It makes your main bedroom or guest bedroom feel more complete. Because the truth is this: small bedroom designs can look amazing, promise!

And on a related topic, here’s how to match a bed to the right bedside tables if you need help! See you at the end of the post for any questions you might have around small bedside tables for small bedrooms.

1. Georgia Two Drawer Bedside Table

Here at TLC Interiors we love an affordable piece of furniture, and the Georgia Two Drawer Bedside Table from Mocka, in all its MDF glory, is just that.

Not only is the visual super cute, with its organic front profile and brushed gold handles, but its small size and minimal design make it perfect for moving in and out of tight spaces.

Added bonus: she may be petite, but the storage space is anything but, allow you to pop all your must-reach essentials inside. And as you can see from the photo above, there’s loads of space for decorative items like candles, which we always recommend for a bedroom.

2. Dallas Oak Bedside Table

What’s not to love about the Dallas Oak Bedside Table? While the deep oak finish provides just enough warmth, its soft-edge legs offer up a profile you don’t see everywhere; it’s the perfect addition to your small bedroom setup.

The single drawer up top and open shelf down below allow you to not only hide away your belongings, but also display some super cute decor pieces! And there’s plenty of space on top for bedside lamps too. What’s not to love?

3. Merci 3 Drawer Bedside Table

Can we take a moment to appreciate the Merci 3 Drawer Bedside Table?

So many people think that just because your bedroom is small you have to resign yourself to using a stool beside the bed, or forgo a nightstand altogether. Trust us, this is not true, and this narrow bedside table proves it.

While its classic design is certainly striking, it was the three drawers that truly sucked us in. This beside table radiates both sophistication and function, and is available in both Satin White or Satin Black finish.

Sadly the dog does not come with purchase.

4. The Shorty Locker

Coming in hot here with the super Shorty Locker from Mustard Made. This perfectly sized bedside is the perfect solution for any small space, and its light-weight material makes it extremely versatile.

Its steel construction is giving high school locker vibes in the best way. It’s a quirky addition to any interior and even something that would work well in a spare room that had a bed but also had to double as a home office.

And here’s the best part: it comes in so many colour options so you can choose the one that best suits the look and feel of your small bedroom.

5. White Franco 2 Drawer Bedside Table

How adorable is the simple, yet effective White Franco 2 Drawer Bedside Table? It’s crisp white finish and striking black handles make it the ideal furniture piece for just about any interior design style you have going on at yours.

Bonus Tip: A bedside table like this one that runs all the way to the ground is a good choice for those of you wanting to hide power outlets that sit behind them. Even a power board with multiple things plugged in would sit nice and hidden under this nightstand.

6. Bella Bedside Table

Not gonna lie, the Bella Bedside Table is one that you’ll either love or hate. For us though, it’s obsession.

Its rounded profile keeps the design sleek and minimal, while its little drawer up top and duo shelves below providing ample space for storage. The curved edges make this piece easy to move in and out of tight spaces too; a clear bonus for a small bedroom.

Bonus tip: Always measure the distance from the floor to the top of your mattress before you buy your bedside table, to ensure they’ll sit at roughly the same height.

7. Wallie Wall Shelf

Okay, so here us out! Sure, the Wallie Wall Shelf is outside of the norm as far as bedside tables are concerned, but isn’t that what design is for – to push the boundaries?

Believe it; this little gem is a super practical solution for your small bedroom. Not only is it a space saver, but its openable compartment is also handy for storage. It gives you everything without taking up much room at all.

The fact that it has no hardware on the outside means it makes less visual ‘noise’ and makes the sleeping space in your master bedroom the star of the show.

8. Isla Bedside Table

Not surprisingly, Kmart strikes again on the small bedside table front. Not only is the Isla Bedside Table easy on the eye, but the $69 price tag is kinda to-die-for. This side table is a clear standout, and proves how good oak veneers can work in a bedroom when you can’t afford the real thing.
