✔ Free shipping from €50 ✔ Customization possible ✔ Submit your own design ✔ 30-day returns

A nightstand is the last thing you see in the evening and the first thing you touch in the morning. Therefore, it deserves just as much attention as the rest of your bedroom. At Industrial Home, you'll find nightstands in solid wood, with steel frames, or in combinations — each with its own character. Compact or spacious, floating or on legs: we have it all, and we can customize it if needed.

With 60,500 searches per month, "nightstand" is one of the most searched furniture items in the Netherlands. And rightly so — the right nightstand can complete your bedroom. Our collection offers the perfect choice for every bedroom style.

Types of Nightstands

Nightstand with drawer

The most functional model. A drawer under the top provides space for your book, earplugs, medication, or other small items you want to keep close at hand but not on display. Popular in combination with an open compartment or shelf below.

Nightstand with shelf

An open shelf at the bottom is light, airier than a drawer, and ideal for larger items such as a reading lamp, crate, or decorative basket. Gives a calm, Scandinavian look.

Floating nightstand

A floating or wall-mounted nightstand is attached to the wall and has no legs. Advantages: the floor remains clear (spacious and easy to vacuum), the height is fully adjustable, and it has a sleek, modern appearance. Ideal for smaller bedrooms.

Nightstand on legs

A nightstand on thin or robust metal legs has a warm-industrial or Scandinavian character. It looks lighter than a solid freestanding model and fits well in an open, airy bedroom.

Materials for Your Nightstand

  • Solid oak: Sleek, strong, and timeless. Oak has a fine grain and lasts for decades. Available in natural, grey stained, or dark. Combines beautifully with white or grey bedding.
  • Mango wood: Warm, characterful, with sometimes spectacular grain. A mango wood nightstand is an eye-catcher in any bedroom. Suitable for both industrial and warm, bohemian interiors.
  • Walnut: Dark, warm, and elegant. Walnut has a rich, warm color that combines excellently with gold or copper-colored hardware and white bedding. Luxurious appearance at a reasonable price.
  • Black (stained or powder-coated): A black nightstand gives the bedroom a sturdy, distinct look. Works well in combination with light bedding and a light floor for strong contrast.

The Right Height — How to Choose?

The ideal height of a nightstand is equal to the height of your mattress plus the bed base — usually 50-65 cm. The top should be at the same height as where your hand reaches when you lie in bed and extend your arm. This makes it easy to grab your phone, glasses, or glass of water without sitting up.

For a low bed or a box spring without a high headboard, choose a lower model (45-55 cm). For a high bed or a raised mattress, choose a higher nightstand (60-70 cm).

Combining with bed and dresser

For a cohesive bedroom look, choose nightstands that match your bed and dresser in terms of material and style. Do you have an oak bed? Go for an oak or light-stained nightstand. Do you have a dark industrial bed? Then choose mango wood or black metal. Industrial Home offers the same materials for nightstands, dressers, and beds, so you can create a fully matching bedroom.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nightstands

What height should a nightstand be?

The ideal height is equal to the top of your mattress — usually 50-65 cm. When you are in bed, the top of the nightstand should be within arm's reach. So always measure the height of your bed (including mattress) before choosing a nightstand.

Is a floating nightstand practical?

Yes, absolutely. A floating nightstand is space-saving, easy to clean underneath, and fully adjustable in height. The only consideration: the wall must be strong enough for the brackets. In a plasterboard wall, always use toggle anchors or attach to the wooden studs.

Which material is best for a nightstand?

That depends on your style and budget. Solid oak is durable and timeless. Mango wood is warm and unique. Walnut is elegant and dark. Black metal is tough and strong. At Industrial Home, you can always choose a combination of wood and metal for the best of both worlds.

Can I order a custom nightstand?

Yes. Industrial Home custom-makes all nightstands. Provide your desired dimensions, material, and finish, and we will make a personalized proposal.

How do I combine nightstands with my dresser?

Choose the same wood type or the same frame material as your dresser. Do you have a mango wood dresser? A mango wood nightstand with the same steel frame creates a cohesive, professional look. Of course, you can also deliberately vary for an eclectic interior.
