Mahogany Nightstands
Buy the best mahogany nightstands selected and recommended by interior designers. By Chloe Hughes.
If you don't have a mahogany nightstand, then you don't know what you're missing. The deep and rich reds of mahogany accent the space in warmth and passion. It is a very malleable wood that is great for furniture, but it is also very strong and can endure the tests of time. It is especially popular in the realm of bedroom furniture; it just adds a little something that can't quite be quantified but it is always appreciated.

Mahogany nightstands are made of a very dark, hard wood with a formal vibe. Your choice is to lean into that or downplay it a bit with your styling. To make a good choice that feels cohesive in your home, consider the other elements in your bedroom and nearby parts of your home. Does your styling have a farmhouse feel? Modern? Minimal? What about the bed frame you already have?
To make the nightstands stand out, pair them with minimal decor and bright white bed linens. This will feel minimal, modern, and easy to maintain.
Your nightstands do not necessarily need to match your bed unless you are deliberately going for a uniform look. Alternatively, you can have lots of fun with mismatched mahogany nightstands and go all out and paint your old nightstands with a pop of refreshing color. Ensure that the nightstand color matches your pillow or sham colors.
Another way to keep different nightstands on either side of your bed while still maintaining the cohesiveness of the decor is by using matching table lamps. But if you want to create visual interest, use nightstands in varying shapes and or textures.
Balance out the visual weight by using one bulky piece and one delicate piece, or if one nightstand has legs, consider pairing it with another legless one. They should still speak to each other and share something unique like the era, color palette, or some other detail.
