The ideal height for a nightstand is typically at the same level as the top of your mattress or slightly lower. This allows easy access to items like your phone, lamp, or water while in bed. A nightstand that is 1-2 inches taller or shorter than the mattress is generally considered ideal.

A nightstand and a bedside table are essentially the same piece of furniture, but the term "nightstand" is often used to refer to a functional piece with storage (like drawers or shelves), while "bedside table" may sometimes refer to a simpler table without storage. Both serve the same purpose—providing a surface next to your bed.

While traditionally a bedroom may have two nightstands—one on each side of the bed—it’s not required. If you have a single bed or prefer a minimalist look, one nightstand is perfectly fine. The choice depends on your space, preferences, and the symmetry you want to create in the room.

While it’s not strictly necessary, many people prefer their nightstand to be close to the bed, often touching it. This makes it easier to access items, like a lamp or phone, without reaching too far. However, you can leave a small gap between the bed and the nightstand if you prefer a bit of space for ease of movement.

Yes, nightstands can be versatile pieces of furniture. While they are commonly used in bedrooms, they can also serve as side tables in living rooms, entryways, or even as mini desks in smaller spaces. Their functionality and compact size make them adaptable to various room types.
