Why round nightstands?
Nightstands are a bedroom staple that visually frame your bed. Rounded corners, soft edges, and arched shapes help offset the boxy dimensions of a room and give the eye a natural place to rest. The curved silhouette of a round nightstand contrasts with the clean lines you’ll often see in a bedroom’s supporting pieces.

Things to Consider when Choosing a Round Nightstand
Round nightstands are a great way to break up a uniform space. There are just a few things to keep in mind as you go on the hunt for that perfect pair.
Height
Heights can vary for different nightstands – you want your nightstand to be level, or slightly higher or lower than your mattress height. The top of your nightstand should be aligned with the top of your bedding, or within 2 to 4 inches, so before choosing your round nightstands, you’ll want to be sure to measure the height of your bed and mattress.

Mix, Don’t Match
Mix it up with colors, textures, and styles. You can also experiment with mixing materials – if your bed is a solid-colored upholstery, a lighter or natural wood finish would pair beautifully. For wooden frames and headboards, you could opt for a painted nightstand or a contrasting material, like metal, concrete, or plaster.
Even nesting two similar table styles is a fun way to add variety to your design!

Storage
Added storage is always a bonus. Round nightstands with drawers or cabinets are perfect for housing charging chords, phones, throws, and various items.

There are also some great options with open shelves so you can tastefully showcase some of your favorite sculptural pieces and books.
The Theo Round Nightstand is great for featuring an ample amount of storage with a simple and functional yet sleek and natural design.
BONUS: Quick and Easy Designer Tips for Styling Your Round Nightstand
Make it Practical and Functional
Practical doesn’t equal bland or boring. Decorative boxes and lamps are a wonderful addition to your nightstand and overall bedroom. Two to three items on top of your nightstand are preferred, as you don’t want it to look cluttered and messy.

Vary the scales of those items, and you can always throw in some greenery to brighten up your space.
Add Something Special
Personal touches really complete a space. Make your nightstand special by adding items that bring you happiness. Whether it’s a framed photo of loved ones, a stack of books, or your favorite candle, adding these small details provide style and sentimental value.
