A bedside table, also called a nightstand or side table for bed, is a compact table placed next to a bed to hold a lamp, phone, book, water glass, and glasses within arm's reach, usually with drawers or a shelf for storage. ELVM Homes offers three handcrafted bedside tables: the Ripple Side Table and Shale Bedside Table, both with two drawers, and the Forma Bedside Unit, a compact two-tiered design measuring 54 × 35 × 55 cm. Ripple and Forma are made from mango wood; Shale combines mango wood with Morchana Marble.
ELVM Homes designs its wooden bedside tables around daily use rather than decoration. Each piece is handcrafted from certified wood, developed in-house, and passed through multi-stage quality checks. Buyers choosing a bedside table with drawers can compare the Ripple Side Table and Shale Bedside Table, while buyers working with a narrow gap beside the bed can consider the Forma Bedside Unit. All three pair naturally with ELVM Homes' wider bedroom furniture range.
Choose the Forma Bedside Unit for small bedrooms and modern bedside table designs (54 × 35 × 55 cm, two-tiered mango wood). Choose the Ripple Side Table for mango wood with two-drawer storage. Choose the Shale Bedside Table for two-drawer storage with a Morchana Marble top that contrasts against a mango wood base.

A bedside table is used to keep everyday items within reach of the bed, such as a table lamp, phone and charger, books, spectacles, water, and medication. Bedside tables with drawers, such as the Ripple Side Table and Shale Bed Side Table, also store small items out of sight so the tabletop stays clear.
You touch this table daily, switching off a light, plugging in a phone, and reaching for water at 2 am, so function matters more than styling.
The ideal bedside table height is roughly level with the top of the mattress, so the surface can be reached comfortably while lying down or sitting up in bed. A tabletop slightly above or below mattress height still works, but a large difference makes the table awkward to use daily.
How to measure correctly:
Reference point: The Forma Bedside Unit is 55 cm tall.
For a small bedroom, measure the gap between the bed and the wall or wardrobe before choosing a bedside table, then select a small side table narrower than that gap so walking space and wardrobe doors stay usable. The Forma Bedside Unit measures 54 × 35 × 55 cm, giving it a shallow 35 cm depth suited to narrow bedside gaps and a practical small bedside table for tight rooms.
Measure three dimensions, not one:
| Measurement | Why it matters |
| Width | Determines whether the table fits the gap beside the bed |
| Depth | A deep table blocks walking space and wardrobe doors. |
| Height | Decides whether the surface is comfortable to reach from the mattress |
Looking for a small side table for bedroom use specifically: The Forma Bedside Unit is currently ELVM Homes' most compact option.
Bedside tables with drawers, sometimes called bedside cabinets, are better for keeping the tabletop clear, because chargers, medication, glasses, and small items stay hidden. Open or tiered bedside tables offer faster access and a visually lighter look. The Ripple Side Table and Shale Bed Side Table each have two drawers; the Forma Bedside Unit uses a two-tiered open form instead.
| Storage type | Advantage | Trade-off | ELVM Homes option |
| Two drawers (bedside cabinet style) | Clutter stays hidden, clear surface | Slower access | Ripple, Shale |
| Open/tiered | Fast access, lighter visual weight | Contents stay visible. | The Forma Bedside Unit |
Mango wood is the material behind ELVM Homes' wooden side tables, valued for its visible grain and warm tone, and it suits bedrooms furnished in natural rather than painted or laminated finishes. Marble tops add a cooler, harder surface and visual contrast against a wood base.

Match a bedside table to a bed by proportion, height, and material family rather than by exact match. A larger bed generally suits a slightly larger bedside table; a smaller bedroom suits a slimmer, modern side table profile. Wooden bedside tables pair with most wooden bed frames, while a marble top adds contrast without clashing.
Four-step selection checklist:
For a modern bedside table in a minimal or Japandi-style room, the Forma Bedside Unit's two-tiered form works without drawers to hide.
Style a bedside table with one main object and one or two smaller ones, typically a table lamp plus a small vase or a short stack of books. Leaving open surface area matters as much as the objects placed on it, because a fully covered bedside table stops functioning as a usable surface.
Bedside tables pair most often with the bed frame, a chest of drawers, and a wardrobe and work best when wood tone and finish stay consistent across the room. ELVM Homes customers furnishing a full bedroom can pair bedside tables with the bedroom furniture and chest of drawers collections.

A bedside table, also called a nightstand or lamp table, is one of the most useful pieces of bedroom furniture: it sits next to the bed and keeps everyday essentials within reach, like a lamp, phone, glasses, book, water glass, or alarm clock. Most designs include a drawer or open shelf for medicines, chargers, and personal items, so the bed surface stays clutter-free. It's also usually chosen to match the bed frame, headboard, or wardrobe finish so it fits with the rest of the room.
Yes. "Nightstand," "bedside table," "side table for bed," and "bedside table" all describe the same piece of furniture, and some brands also call it a bedside cabinet or bedroom nightstand. There's no functional difference between these terms. "Nightstand" is used more often in American English; "bedside table" is the more common term in British and Indian English.
The ideal bedside table height is level with, or 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) above, the top of your mattress, which usually works out to around 55 to 65 cm from the floor for a standard Indian bed. This lets you reach for a phone, glass of water, or lamp switch without leaning down or reaching up. If your bed sits unusually high or low, adjust the table height to match it rather than sticking to the standard number.
Slightly higher than the mattress top, by about 2 to 4 inches, is generally the most comfortable option, since it keeps items within easy reach while lying down. A table noticeably lower than the mattress means bending or reaching down, while one that's much higher can look out of proportion with the bed. Matching height to the mattress, not just the floor-to-tabletop measurement, is the more reliable way to judge fit.
For a small bedroom, look for a small bedside table or small side table for bedroom use, roughly 30 to 40 cm wide and under 40 cm deep: enough surface for a lamp and phone without eating into walking space. A modern bedside table with a slim, single-drawer or open-shelf design works better than wide multi-drawer units, and a taller, narrower profile makes better use of vertical space when floor space is tight. If your room has an awkward layout, a corner table for the bedroom is also worth considering, since it fits into a corner instead of taking up wall space. Wall-mounted or floating bedside shelves are another option when floor area is very limited.
Yes. A bedside table with a drawer gives concealed storage for chargers, medicines, jewellery, or anything else you'd rather not leave out, which keeps the tabletop tidy. This matters more in smaller bedrooms, where clutter tends to stand out. Open shelves are easier to reach for things you use often, like books, while drawers suit items you want out of sight, so many people choose a table with one of each.
Bedside table design has shifted toward cleaner lines, mixed materials, and multi-functional storage. A wooden side table or wooden bedside table in mango wood remains one of the most popular choices for a handcrafted, warm-toned look, while a modern side table with marble or metal accents suits more contemporary bedrooms. If you're exploring bedroom side table design ideas, a piece with one drawer and an open shelf is a dependable pick that works across most styles.
Start with the wood tone or finish. A wooden bedside table, like one in mango wood or a dark stain, usually pairs well with a wooden bed frame, while a marble-top design suits a more contemporary bed. Keep the height within a few inches of your mattress, and match the style: a solid-wood, handcrafted piece suits a rustic or traditional bed, while a marble or metal-accented table works better with a modern platform bed. If your bed has visible hardware, like brass or black handles, matching that finish on the bedside table keeps the room looking coordinated.
