Buying Guide

Yes, open shelf nightstands can be a very good solution for your bedroom, especially depending on what effect you’d like to create.

In fact, we especially recommend them if you’d like to showcase a small selection of your favorite decorative items or, for example, keep part of your book collection always nearby before going to sleep.

However, keep in mind that you should dust your open shelf nightstand regularly.

An open shelf nightstand is a great choice for those looking for additional display options.

Aside from having the top of the nightstand free for displaying photos with frames, an alarm clock, night lamps and decorative pieces, the open shelves make an ideal space to keep your favorite book collection nearby. Consider using the open shelves for displaying some beautiful miniature succulents and houseplants or personal arts and crafts as well.

If you're wondering whether you need to match a nightstand to your bed, then the simple answer is that you don't have to match it to your bed. There are different ways to style and decorate your room without matching your bed and bedside tables, and ultimately, this also helps to bring the space together.

Open shelf nightstands are available in various materials, styles, and finishings. Popular options include iron, wood, and brass, and you can match each piece without them looking disjointed. The only rule of thumb is that each piece of furniture will need to contain some common element be it color, texture or the furniture style era.
