Bedroom Furniture, Lighting & Bedding
A bedroom is the one room that should be planned backwards from how it feels at eleven at night rather than how it photographs at noon. That means fewer objects, warmer light, and materials that are pleasant to touch in the dark: linen, wool, oiled timber, unlacquered brass.
The edit here covers the pieces that actually change the room — bedside tables at the right height, table lamps that can be dimmed, a full-length mirror for dressing, layered bedding and throws, and curtains heavy enough to hold the light out. Everything else is optional.
Two rules do most of the work. Bedside surfaces should land within two inches of the mattress top, and every light in the room should be on a dimmer or a low-output bulb. A bedroom lit like a kitchen never quite relaxes.
Side Tables for the Bedroom
Side Tables do a specific job in a bedroom: they set the scale of the zone around them and decide how the eye travels through the space. We keep this part of the edit deliberately short — a handful of silhouettes in materials that will still look correct in ten years. Choose the piece that matches the proportion of the wall or seating it serves first, then check the finish against what is already in the room. Warm brass and oak want company; blackened metal and stone prefer to stand alone.

Bedroom Questions
- How tall should a nightstand be?
- Level with the mattress top or up to two inches above it — for most beds that means 24 to 28 inches tall.
- What size rug goes in a bedroom?
- For a queen, an 8 x 10 centred under the bed leaves a walking margin on three sides; a king usually needs a 9 x 12.
- How high should bedroom sconces be mounted?
- Around 30 to 36 inches above the mattress, or roughly 60 inches from the floor, angled so the shade sits below eye level when seated.
- Which bedding material sleeps coolest?
- Washed linen. It is more breathable than cotton percale and softens with every wash rather than wearing thin.
