  1. Hi Chris, I love reading your blogs. I’ve read your blog regarding pendant & it helps me a lot, now this is my struggle . Choosing the right bedside table .. I’ve bought a pendant already but haven’t installed yet because I don’t have my bedside table yet, just temporary . If you could please give me an advise what to match on my bed that would be great. Thank you!

    1. Hey Janneth, thanks for your kind words. Don’t buy from a package (same as bed) for starters. You also need to consider the floor, you don’t want wood-toned bedsides clashing with floorboard, they need to contrast nicely. If you bed has metal legs it can be easy to carry that material choice into the bedside legs, that’s a simple way to tie things together.

  2. That is tge BEST article I have read about styling bedside tables. Extremely informative & useful.

  3. Hi Chris, Thanks for the great tips and photos. Do you have any suggestions on how to manage bedside digital clutter- the chargers for phones, iPads etc. We all know they shouldn’t be bedside but they usually are.

    1. If you have lot of cords you might want to try a stand/organiser like this. I don’t love them myself, but it might work for you.

  4. Thanks for the info Chris. I’m currently styling a guest bedroom in a pared-down British Colonial style. Will upload a photo to your private FB as soon as I have all my major pieces!

  5. Bravo for referencing the source of your images – thank you Chris. Any tips on the size of the sconce/wall light for ideal scale proportions? I have a king bed against a 3.2m wall.

    1. No worries Alli. The size of the wall sconce is more important against the size of the bedside. Hard to say without seeing it. Are you part of my private FB group? Members post photos in there all the time and get advice from me and other members. Might be good for you yo jump in and show some photos of the bedroom in question 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/groups/tlcdecoratingjunkies/

    1. Hey Jenny. The first image is from a gorgeous Metricon display home. Sadly I’m not sure where that industrial style bedside is from. They hire out a lot of their furniture so it might not even be from a retail store.
