Side Tables and Bedside Tables for Modern UAE Bedrooms

Side tables and bedside tables are compact furniture pieces designed for convenient surface space and discreet storage beside a bed or seating area. In UAE homes, these units often feature drawers, shelves, or sleek tops that hold lamps, books, and daily-use items while complementing the room's decor. This category includes single-drawer nightstands, minimal side stools, double-storage units, microplaster cubes, and high-gloss lacquer finishes.

What is the difference between a side table and a bedside table?

A bedside table is designed to sit beside a bed, while a side table may serve various functions across different rooms. Side tables are often more decorative or mobile and appear in living rooms, entryways, or as coffee table companions. In contrast, bedside tables frequently include storage drawers or shelves. For example, side tables like the Rodney or Oswald models offer versatile placement, while bedside units like The Marvin or The Kelly are designed to keep essentials within arm's reach overnight.

What types of bedside tables are available in the UAE?

UAE homes use modern bedside tables in various forms, including drawer units, open-shelf models, cubes, and compact stools. Most bedside tables fall into:

• Single-drawer tables:The Kelly Bedside Table 1 and 2

• Double-drawer units: The Nancy Double Bedside Table

• Minimal open cubes: The Ray Microplaster Cube

• Microplaster finishes: The Alphie and Albert models

• High-gloss lacquer finishes: The Oswald Bedside Table

How do I choose the right bedside table for my room?

Choosing the right bedside table involves matching table height to bed height, selecting storage capacity, and choosing finishes that suit existing decor. For low-profile beds, short side stools like The Burt may align better. For bedrooms requiring closed storage, options like The Marvin or The Norma with drawers help reduce clutter. Microplaster models suit earthy palettes, while high-gloss lacquer tables match modern interiors.
