Narrow Nightstand - Compact & Stylish
Slim Bedside Table — Space-Saving Next to Your Bed
A slim bedside table is the smartest solution for any bedroom where every inch counts. Whether you're furnishing a single room, have a walk-through bedroom, or simply prefer a calm, minimalist aesthetic — a compact bedside table does exactly what it needs to: provide a convenient storage spot without taking up too much space. At Industrial Home, we custom-make slim bedside tables to your exact desired width, height, and finish.
What exactly is a slim bedside table?
A slim bedside table typically has a width of 25 to 35 centimeters. That might sound small, but in practice, it's more than enough for your alarm clock, a book, a glass of water, and your phone. Slim models come in various designs: with one or two drawers, as an open-shelf model, as a floating unit mounted on the wall, or on legs. The depth varies from 30 to 45 cm, depending on the model and your preference. You can adjust the height to match your mattress thickness — the standard is 50 to 60 cm, but we are flexible here too.
Which bedrooms are suitable for a slim bedside table?
Slim bedside tables are ideal in several situations:
- Small bedrooms — When there's only 30–40 cm left to the left or right of the bed, a standard-width bedside table isn't an option. A slim model fits perfectly without blocking the passage.
- Children's and teen bedrooms — Compact, functional, and uncluttered. Exactly what a small bedroom needs.
- Guest or studio bedrooms — In studios or guest rooms, you want to maintain a spacious feel. A slim bedside table gives the room a tidy look.
- Next to a double bed in a narrower bedroom — Sometimes, only one bedside table fits on the side of a double bed. A slim model prevents the room from feeling cramped.
- Minimalist bedrooms — Even in spacious rooms, people consciously choose a slim design. Less is more, and a compact bedside table perfectly embodies that feeling.
Types of slim bedside tables
Slim bedside table with drawer
The most requested variant. A drawer gives you a closed storage space for items you want close at hand at night but out of sight during the day. At Industrial Home, we equip drawers with soft-close runners — no banging, smooth and quiet. You can choose the handle or opt for a handleless channel for a sleek look.
Floating slim bedside table
A floating model gives the room an airy, modern look. The bedside table is mounted on the wall at your desired height, leaving the floor clear and making it easier to vacuum. Also ideal for rooms with a underfloor heating vent exactly where a leg would otherwise stand. Choose a floating shelf with a drawer or open compartment.
Slim bedside table on legs
On legs, a bedside table gives a lighter, retro, or Scandinavian feel. Steel legs give it an industrial touch, while wooden legs complement a natural or warm style. The combination of a solid oak top with slim black steel legs is one of our most popular slim combinations.
Open-shelf bedside table
No drawer, but open compartments. Perfect if you want to tuck away your phone without having to open a drawer, or if you want a decorative spot for a plant or candle. In a slim format, this looks particularly sleek.
Materials for your slim bedside table
At Industrial Home, we work with high-quality materials that last:
- Solid oak — Warm, timeless, and durable. Each plank is unique due to its natural grain.
- Solid walnut — Darker, richer in color and character. Luxurious appearance in a compact size.
- HPL (Trespa-like) — Strong, colorfast, and scratch-resistant. Available in white, black, concrete-look, and dozens of other colors. Ideal if you want a matte or glossy surface.
- Lacquered MDF — Smooth, even, and suitable for any RAL color. Think chalk-matte white, dark grey, or sage green.
- Combinations — Solid oak top, HPL white sides. Or fully lacquered but with an oak drawer front. The possibilities are endless.
Custom slim size — how does it work?
Customization at Industrial Home is simple. You provide the exact dimensions: width (e.g., 28 cm), depth (35 cm), and height (55 cm). Then you choose the material, finish, color, and any optional features such as drawers, legs, or wall mounting. Our 3D configurator shows you immediately what your bedside table will look like. No surprises. No compromises.
Delivery typically takes 4–6 weeks. Delivery throughout the Netherlands, including threshold service. Would you like to visit our showroom first? You can — you'll see material samples and finished models and talk to one of our furniture makers.
Combining with other furniture
A slim bedside table combines beautifully with other Industrial Home bedroom furniture. Think of a matching dresser, a TV unit for the bedroom, or a coordinating headboard. Ensure consistency in material or color, and the entire bedroom will feel cohesive. Ask about our bedroom set prices if you want to order multiple pieces of furniture at once.
