Bedside Tables

Smart use of small furniture pieces, such as a bedside table, can transform your bedroom and bring that interior stylist’s touch to life — without breaking the bank. Pair modern bedside tables like the Tivoli or Hudson Bedside Tables with an antique headboard for contrast and character. To add edge to a minimalist space, introduce a bedside table with industrial charm, such as the Graye Bedside Table. For warmth and personality, choose subtle textures like the fluted details of the Havana wooden bedside table or layer in new materials like a high pile rug or natural accents to make your space feel intentional and uniquely yours.

In Singapore, modern apartments often feature smaller bedroom layouts, making space-saving furniture essential. A typical bedroom in a 3 to 4 room flat or condominium measures around 10 to 12 square metres, with wall lengths ranging from around 2.8 to 3.5 metres, suitable for a queen-sized bed (W152cm x L190cm) and two compact bedside tables. For king-sized beds (W183cm x L190cm), space may only allow for a single bedside table. 

Our small bedside tables for small spaces are designed specifically for compact urban living in Singapore. Measuring 40cm in length, 35 to 40cm in width and 39 to 60cm in height, they provide smart storage with one or two spacious drawers for daily essentials, accessories and keepsakes. The raised design allows for easy cleaning, keeping your bedroom clean and clutter-free. Perfect for small bedrooms, these bedside tables combine style, functionality and practicality in modern Singapore homes.

Both wooden and metal bedside tables have their own distinct charm — the choice ultimately depends on your style and needs. A wooden bedside table introduces the warmth and character of natural wood, lending a sense of calm and comfort to your space. While more sensitive to scratches or moisture, quality craftsmanship, like what we have here at Grey & Sanders ensures it ages beautifully over time. Metal bedside tables, on the other hand, offer a subtle contemporary edge, adding an industrial touch to modern interiors. Though firmer on flooring, they are exceptionally sturdy and built to last.

To ensure comfort and ease of use, measure the height of your bed from the floor to the top of the mattress. Your bedside table should ideally be about the same height, allowing essentials like a lamp or your phone to sit within easy reach. The typical height of bedside tables ranges between 55cm to 80cm. At Grey & Sanders, our bedside tables come in a range of heights to suit different preferences and bed styles — from the compact 39cm Graye Bedside Table to the taller 60cm Hudson Bedside Table. Ideally, keep your bedside table height within 12.7cm of your mattress. 

The typical width for bedside tables ranges between 40 to 60cm. The perfect fit depends on your room layout, bed dimensions and personal needs. At Grey & Sanders, our bedside tables are thoughtfully designed for compact urban living in Singapore, with most pieces crafted in a space-efficient 40cm width — perfect for smaller bedrooms without compromising on style or function. For larger rooms with a little more space to breathe, a well-crafted chest of drawers adds both extra storage and a refined touch to complete your room.

Leave 5 to 15cm of space between your bed and bedside table for effortless reach and a well-balanced look. For a sleek, modern setup, consider placing electrical outlets on both sides of your bed so your phone, smartwatch or reading lamp stays conveniently powered without visible clutter. Small details like these bring both comfort and thoughtful design into your bedroom space.
