The perfect nightstand is equal parts design-forward and practical. These small pieces of accent furniture, also known as bedside tables or end tables, can actually make a really big impact on the styling of your space. They bring together a bedroom, add either symmetry or asymmetry to your room, and support your overall design aesthetic. At the same time, it's crucial to ensure that the bedside table you choose fits all your needs: not too big, the appropriate height, and preferably with ample storage, especially if you're living in a small space. Select between one table, two identical ones on each side of the bed, or two unique yet coordinated models. The selection is pretty much endless, so to help you out, we compiled our absolute favorites in five different decor styles. Oh, and they're all conveniently available on Amazon.
