Calm Bedtime Made Simple
A bedside table keeps the little things close, and that helps bedtime feel calm and easy. Children can reach a book, a lamp, or a glass of water without getting out of bed. Boori uses durable materials with safe finishes, so surfaces wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, maintaining their smooth feel for daily use.
Sizes That Fit Different Rooms
Every home has different shapes and sizes, and bedside tables work best when the height matches the mattress and the footprint leaves space to walk. If the room is tight, a small bedside table keeps the path clear while still providing a steady spot for a lamp and a storybook. For narrow gaps, a slim bedside table helps you fit a surface beside the bed without crowding the room.
Colours And Finishes That Are Easy To Live With
If you prefer a bright, fresh look, a white bedside table pairs nicely with soft bedding and gentle wall colours. Many families love the warm, natural charm of a wooden bedside table, where the grain adds texture and complements both simple and playful themes. Boori offers a wide range of colours for bedside tables, including classic neutrals and cheerful shades such as Blueberry Blue and Cherry Pink. All Boori finishes are water-based and low VOC, and the durable laminates make cleaning quick and simple for busy family rooms.
For Toddlers And School-Age Children
You can set a kids bedside table beside a low frame so picture books and a small lamp sit within easy reach at night. For little ones moving out of a cot, you can browse sturdy low frames in our Toddler Beds and keep the table close so the routine feels safe and steady. As routines shift from early bedtimes to homework, a bedside table kids arrangement by the reading chair keeps stories and light within reach. Select a compact desk from Boori's Desks, Tables & Chairs collection to maintain an open and flexible room.
Keep Essentials Close And Clear
A bedside table for kids works best when the top holds only what is needed at night, and a small drawer or open shelf can hold spare tissues, a bookmark, or a comfort toy. Keep cords tidy and out of the walking path so feet do not trip, and place the lamp switch where a child can reach it easily from the pillow. This simple setup helps evenings feel calm and allows mornings to start without fuss.
Quick Choices At A Glance
Use these short notes to guide your pick, and add more pieces later as your child grows.
- Height match: choose a table that is level with the mattress top so reaching is easy and safe.
- Clear path: keep space to walk around the bed so night trips are simple and safe.
- Easy care: wipe with a soft cloth and mild, soapy water to keep the finish smooth.
- Calm top: hold only a lamp and a book so bedtime stays neat and relaxed.
- Future fit: match the look with a desk from Desks, Tables & Chairs so the room grows steadily.
Plan The Room In Simple Steps
Start by measuring the bed height and the gap beside it so your table sits neatly and does not block drawers or doors. Keep tall storage fixed to a strong wall and place low pieces near the bed so nightwear, books, and small items are close at hand. If you are choosing a new mattress, you can view sizes in Kids Bed Mattresses so the height stays comfortable for reading in bed.
Materials And Everyday Care
Boori uses sustainably sourced timbers and durable engineered timber parts with water-based low-VOC paints and strong laminates, so the furniture suits rooms that the family uses often. For care, wipe away marks as soon as you notice them, avoid rough pads that can scratch, and periodically check the fixings to ensure the table remains steady and quiet during daily use.
Style That Stays Fresh
Neutral frames make it easy to refresh the room with new bedding or a different lamp shade, and simple lines help the table blend with playful themes or calm, natural looks. You can keep the same table as your child grows and change the setting around it, and the room will still feel like one set because colours and shapes stay consistent.
Build A Matching Set
If you are planning a whole room, you can pair a sturdy bed and desk, and add chairs and small tables for reading and crafts. For younger children, you can view low frames in Toddler Beds and keep the table close, so the lamp and storybook are easily accessible at night.

FAQs
What is the rule for bedside tables?
There is no clear rule when it comes to bedside tables. Just make sure there is sufficient space next to the bed for the bedside table to sit, and that if you plan to place a lamp on top, there is a nearby power outlet.
What are common bedside table mistakes?
Bedside tables are fairly straightforward pieces of furniture so its difficult to go wrong with your choice. Issues may arise when you try to overload the bedside table with too many items. Most bedsides have only a limited surface area on top, enough to fit a lamp, a book and a cup of water. Once you start adding more and more items, it no longer becomes functional. If you do intend to keep many items near your bed, consider purchasing a bedside table with more storage drawers, or look at placing a larger storage unit nearby.
What makes a good bedside table?
A stable frame, smooth edges, and a surface big enough for a lamp, book, and water. Soft-close runners and a small drawer make a bedside table kids arrangement easy to use every night.
What not to keep on a bedside table?
With limited space on top of a bedside table, it's best not to overload it with too many items. Be selective with what you keep on the bedside table. Additionally, since clumsiness often accompanies tiredness, it's best to avoid placing anything fragile or easily knocked off on the bedside table.
Can I match a bedside with a new bed for a younger child?
Yes, you can browse low frames in Toddler Beds and place the table close to the pillow so night reading and lamp use feel easy and safe.
What if the room is narrow?
Choose a slim bedside table so you keep a clear path to the door and still have a steady spot for a lamp and a book.
