There are so many different things to think about when looking at nightstands that finding the right one can seem like a real chore. Many people appreciate nightstands because they provide a place to set things that might be needed at night or first thing in the morning, like a pair of glasses, a lamp, a reading book, or an alarm clock. Nightstands can be many different sizes and shapes. They can have drawers, shelves, baskets, cabinets, or some combination of all four of these storage options. They can even have no storage at all except for the surface. Here are some important tips to help when looking at nightstands.

With the design of the nightstands decided, all that remains is to choose the other furnishings. If a television and DVD or blue-ray player are required, this can be handled by a media armoire opposite the bed or, more conveniently, by running cables from a bedside unit, under the floor covering to a wall mounted flat screen TV. Another solution would be install a television in a unit at the end of the bed and have it lift into place at the touch of a remote control. This is ideal in larger bedrooms, leaving the wall opposite the bed free for a romantic fireplace.

Bedroom nightstands are small, and so they fit into the nursery or a small child's room effortlessly. Put the little board books on the shelves or the special treasures in the drawers. Children will have an easier time accessing a smaller piece of furniture, so a nightstand is ideal. Your child's imagination could even make it into a fire department or doll house during playtime.
