Narrow Nightstand - Compact & Stylish

Narrow Bedside Table — Space-Saving Next to Your Bed

A narrow 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 should: provide convenient storage without devouring space. At Industrial Home, we custom-make narrow bedside tables precisely to your desired width, height, and finish. In the bedroom, slow living is gaining ground: soothing materials, natural wood, and a minimalist atmosphere that invites relaxation.

What exactly is a narrow bedside table?

A narrow bedside table typically has a width of 25 to 35 centimeters. That sounds small, but in practice, it's more than enough for your alarm clock, a book, a glass of water, and your phone. Narrow models come in various designs: with one or two drawers, as an open-shelf model, as a floating wall-mounted unit, 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 — standard is 50 to 60 cm, but we are flexible here too.

Which bedrooms are suitable for a narrow bedside table?

Narrow bedside tables are ideal in several situations:

• Small bedrooms — When only 30–40 cm is left on either side of the bed, a standard wide bedside table is not an option. A narrow model then fits perfectly without blocking the walkway.
• Children's and teenagers' rooms — 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 narrow 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 narrow model prevents the room from feeling cramped.
• Minimalist bedrooms — Even in spacious rooms, people consciously choose a narrow design. Less is more, and a compact bedside table perfectly conveys that feeling.

Types of narrow bedside tables

Narrow bedside table with drawer

The most requested variant. A drawer gives you a closed storage space for items you want to keep handy at night but out of sight during the day. At Industrial Home, we make the drawers on soft-close runners — no banging, smooth and silent. You choose the handle yourself or opt for a handleless channel for a sleek look.

Floating narrow 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 underfloor heating grilles precisely where a leg would otherwise stand. Choose a floating shelf with a drawer or open compartment.

Narrow bedside table on legs

On legs, a bedside table gives a lighter, retro or Scandinavian feel. Steel legs give it an industrial touch, wooden legs match a natural or warm style. The combination of a solid oak top with slender black steel legs is one of our most popular narrow combinations.

Open-shelf bedside table

No drawer, but open shelves. Perfect if you want to tuck away your phone without having to pull open a drawer, or if you want a decorative nook for a plant or candle. In a narrow format, this looks particularly sleek.

Materials for your narrow bedside table

At Industrial Home, we work with high-quality materials that are built to 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 — Flat, 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-made narrow 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 time is typically 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 speak with one of our furniture makers.

Combine with other furniture

A narrow bedside table beautifully complements other bedroom furniture from Industrial Home. Consider 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.
