Bedside tables are more than just practical furniture, they're key to elevating your bedroom decor. With the right touches, you can turn a simple bedside table into a stylish focal point. Our bedside table decor ideas will inspire you to create a space that's both functional and beautifully styled.
Picking the Perfect Bedside Table
When planning your bedside table decorating, the very first step is always choosing the right table for you and your bedroom.
Height Matters
Measure from the floor to the top of your mattress. Ideally, your bedside table should sit about 2.5cm above or below this height. This ensures essentials such as your lamp, phone, or book are always within reach and it creates a balanced look to start your bedroom styling.
At Funky Chunky Furniture, we offer bedside tables in a range of heights:
- Pandon Bedside Table – perfect for low, loft-style beds.
- Derwent Bedside Table – a classic piece that adds dimension and weight to your bedroom decor.
Consider Storage Needs
Your storage needs definitely impact your bedside table decor ideas. Minimalists may love a floating bedside, which frees up floor space while providing just enough surface for the essentials. For those who need more storage, shop for bedside tables with deep drawers and generous tabletops as they offer both practicality and decorating potential.
We offer a range of storage solutions to fit your needs:
- Gosforth Floating Bedside Table - great for those who prefer only the essentials within reach
- Slaley Bedside Table - with two drawers, this piece offers a practical solution for extra storage needs

2. Small Storage Accessories for Stylish Organisation

3. Scented Elements for Atmosphere
Add sensory depth to your bedside table with our collection of candles and fragrances. Candles or reed diffusers are easy ways to add warmth and ambiance to your bedside table. A scented candle not only smells amazing but also acts as a sculptural decoration, enhancing your overall bedroom styling. Try to find scents like lavender, chamomile or cedarwood to create a warm and relaxing space.
