Curated Finds for Annabel — Bedside Tables

Design Lab by Livingetc — (Image credit: Future)

Dear Annabel,

Inspired by your brief, I have curated your personalised edit with a selection of bedside tables that reflect the modern, minimalist, and Scandinavian aesthetic you’re drawn to.

I focused on pieces that align closely with your size requirements, particularly the maximum width of 40cm, while ensuring each option includes practical drawer storage. One thing I found during the search is that bedside table heights tend to be fairly standard across most retailers, so while I prioritised compact designs, some of the options selected are slightly taller, generally ranging between 45cm and 60cm in height.

To give you a wider selection to choose from, I’ve included a variety of styles and silhouettes, from classic rectangular designs to softer rounded shapes. While each piece maintains a clean look, they all offer a slightly different interpretation of modern and Scandinavian design.

I hope this edit helps you find the perfect bedside table for your space, and that there’s something in the selection that feels just right for your bedroom.

Enjoy exploring the edit, and I’d love to hear which pieces catch your eye.

Warm regards,

Iokasti

H&M

Pinewood bedside table

W 42cm x H 50cm I chose this one because it feels effortlessly Scandinavian. The clean lines and simple silhouette make it incredibly versatile, while the compact footprint is ideal if you're working with limited space. I can see this blending seamlessly into a minimalist bedroom without ever feeling boring.

DUSK

Ruby 1 Drawer Nightstand

W 40cm x H 50cm I really like this option because it feels elegant without trying too hard. The soft cream finish keeps it feeling light and airy, while the simple silhouette makes it incredibly versatile. It has a slightly more classic feel than some of the other options, which I think would work beautifully if you're looking to create a calm and timeless bedroom scheme.

La Redoute

Larsen Vintage 2-Drawer Bedside Table

W 43cm x H 55cm I was drawn to this piece because it feels timeless and practical. The design is simple enough to work with a range of interiors, but it still has a warmth that prevents it from feeling too stark. It's the kind of bedside table I can imagine loving for years to come.

SO'HOME

Corven Small Fluted Mango Wood 1 Drawer Bedside Table

W 35cm x H 50cm This one stood out to me because of its softer shape and contemporary feel. Rounded furniture can instantly make a bedroom feel more relaxed and welcoming, and I think this design strikes a really nice balance between modern and inviting.

Habitat

Habitat Adeje 2 Drawer Bedside Table

W 40cm x H 45cm I think this is a great option if you're looking for something clean, functional, and budget-friendly. The design feels very Scandinavian in its simplicity, and I particularly like how easy it would be to style with different lamps, colours, and accessories over time.

Habitat

Marcia Twist Bedside Table

W 36cm x H 47cm I included this because it brings a little more character to the selection. The twisted detailing adds visual interest without overpowering the room, making it a great choice if you want something minimalist but not completely plain. It feels playful, modern, and a little unexpected.
