Curated Finds for Stela — Bedside Tables
A curated selection of bedside tables combining Scandinavian warmth, mid-century character, and contemporary design.
Dear Stela,
Inspired by your brief, I have curated your personalised edit of bedside table options, keeping your mid-century modern, contemporary, and scandinavian style preferences in mind.
As I haven’t seen your bedroom and I'm not familiar with your current colour palette, I have selected a range of wooden pieces, as wood always brings warmth and texture into a space and tends to work well across different interiors. Each option also includes at least one drawer, so you have practical hidden storage to keep things feeling calm and uncluttered.
I have included pieces across different price points so you have a wide selection to choose from.
I'm confident that with your eye for design, the right pieces will come together beautifully in your home. I hope you find something you love in this edit and enjoy exploring the selection.
Warmly,
Your stylist, Iokasti
This is the most affordable option in the edit, which makes it a really great starting point. I believe it brings in that Scandinavian and mid-century modern feel you’re after, with the warm walnut finish keeping it soft and versatile. It also has practical storage with a clean, simple design, so it feels easy to live with while still fitting nicely into a contemporary bedroom scheme.
This is a really lovely option, and I love the gold accent details as they bring a subtle warmth and elevate the overall design. The combination of walnut and metal gives it that nice balance between modern and mid-century style, while still feeling soft and elegant.
I really like the rich burl wood finish, it brings so much depth and warmth, which works really nicely across a modern mid-century scheme. The brass hardware is also a lovely detail, it adds just the right amount of contrast and a slightly more elevated feel without overpowering the design. It also has a practical single drawer, and I think it’s one of those pieces that instantly adds character to a bedroom while still feeling timeless and easy to style.
This is a really beautiful option and I think the form is what makes it so special. I love the rounded edges, they soften the overall silhouette and give it a really calm, contemporary feel. The single large drawer is also really practical, giving you plenty of hidden storage to keep the surface clutter-free. I think it feels quite sculptural in its simplicity, and the oak finish keeps it warm and timeless.
This is a really interesting option, and I like the soft, rounded form as it brings a slightly more sculptural feel to the bedside. It has that Japandi-inspired mix of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth, which makes it feel calm but still refined. It also includes a practical drawer, so it works well for keeping clutter hidden while still maintaining a clean, intentional look in the bedroom.
I believe that this nightstand works beautifully for your brief. I love the mix of oak and cane, it brings in that natural warmth and texture while still feeling light and contemporary, which fits really nicely with a Scandinavian and mid-century direction. The curved edges and rounded ball feet give it a softer, more playful feel, and the open lower shelf is great for adding a few personal touches or keeping everyday items within easy reach.
