White bedside tables add a sophisticated touch
How to use bedside tables
Bedside tables are a perfect fusion of form and function. Not only do they frame the bed and enhance the room, but they also offer a helping hand at the bedside. Bedside cabinets provide storage space for your nighttime essentials. Bedside drawers give you a place for all the small accessories like watches, jewellery, and wallets. Surface table tops provide a place for your reading lamp, alarm clock and novel. Set up a bookcase, an underwear drawer or make it a morning coffee table.
Chic white bedside tables
White is an elegant colour to use in a bedroom, enhancing everything around it. Perfect for small bedrooms, white reflects the light and creates the illusion of space. Timeless and always versatile, white furniture can be adapted to suit any on-trend look, including boho, classic, or country cottage. White bedside tables highlight the room and offer the perfect podium to showcase a favourite decor piece.
Benefits of choosing white
Although neutral, white is anything but boring. A fresh white monochrome finish provides a clean slate upon which anything can happen. Beautifully polished hardware, wooden accents and intriguing textures bring white bedside tables to life. White table tops offer the perfect surface for a glowing lamp, a bold home decor piece or a vase filled with greenery. In fact, white will complement any other coloured furniture and decor that you want to mix it in with.
Standard bedside table size in New Zealand
Side tables should enhance the space without taking over. Generally speaking, tables should be about the same height as your mattress. Up to 5 cm higher is okay, but lower than your mattress will feel awkward. Reaching across or upward feels natural, but reaching downward isn’t practical. The standard width is 45 - 56cm for a medium-sized bedroom. However, your optimal width will depend on your room and bed size. For a larger queen bedroom, you can increase the width to 64cm, and for a large king bedroom, up to 74cm.
Stylish, functional designs in various sizes
The Mocka collection offers a vast range of sizes, configurations and styles. Choose the size you need to accommodate your essentials and display the items you love. For a medium-sized table to complement your modern homewares, the scalloped look of Nyla is nothing short of showstopping. If your wardrobe needs support, a multi-drawer bedside table like the Hamptons collection is ideal. If you simply need a surface for your lamp, then a minimalist style like the Avalon might suffice.
Quality bedside tables add a stylish touch
Mocka showcases a wide range of high-quality styles that range from classic to contemporary, boho and retro. Choose bright, refreshing white, bold black bedside table, or natural veneers that mimic wood-look finishes. Find the latest on-trend styles, high-quality materials and prices you can afford in our beautiful online showroom. If a style you love is sold out, we occasionally take pre-orders, but we’ll let you know when that is an option.
Pair with your bedhead and other bedroom furniture
Before selecting your finish, consider your other bedroom furniture, like entertainment units, sofas and armchairs. Wooden bedside tables can be the perfect pairing for your bed frame and tallboy. Choose from veneers like pine wood, light oak and walnut that give you all the look of solid wood without the hefty price tag.
Do you need one or two bedside tables?
A set is ideal in a bedroom with a full-size bed. A matching pair will frame your bed and visually anchor it within the room. What’s more, if two people are sleeping in it, each person has their own cabinet, surface and drawers to use as needed. Both people can access a reading lamp, a glass of water, and their phones.
