As one of the basic furniture in the bedroom, the bedside table not only plays a decorative role, but also provides practical functions. But many people don’t know much about the number of bedside tables to put. So is it better to have one bedside table or two? This article will introduce in detail whether it is better to have one bedside table or two bedside tables from three perspectives: practicality, aesthetics and space utilization.
There is no clear answer to the question of whether it is better to have one bedside table or two. The specific number of bedside tables that are better depends mainly on the actual needs of the individual and the space conditions of the bedroom. The details are as follows:
1. Practicality
A bedside table
When the bedroom space is small or the space next to the bed is limited, placing a bedside table is a good choice. A bedside table can provide a certain amount of storage space, such as placing mobile phones, alarm clocks, lamps and other items. In addition, a bedside table can save space and prevent the bedroom from looking crowded.
Two bedside tables
However, two bedside tables take the cake in terms of practicality. First of all, two bedside tables can provide more storage space and can store more items, such as books, glasses, water glasses, etc. Secondly, placing two bedside tables can provide a symmetrical aesthetic and add to the overall feel of the bedroom. Most importantly, the two bedside tables provide more practicality for two people on the bed. Each person can have their own space to place personal belongings.
2. Aesthetics

In terms of aesthetics, a bedside table can decorate the bedroom simply and elegantly. Just choose a bedside table that matches the bed and bedroom style, and you can easily create a beautiful bedroom. At the same time, a bedside table can also display other decorations, such as photos, small flowers, etc., adding a sense of warmth to the bedroom.
Two bedside tables
However, placing two bedside tables can better meet people's aesthetic needs in terms of aesthetics. Two nightstands create a sense of symmetry and give a more stable and balanced feel. Whether the bedside tables are the same or different, maintaining a consistent height and style will create a sophisticated bedroom environment. Moreover, two bedside tables can visually expand the sense of space in the bedroom, making the bedroom appear more spacious.
3. Space utilization

In terms of space utilization, placing a bedside table can save the space in the bedroom to the greatest extent. You only need to leave a suitable place next to the bed to place the bedside table without taking up too much space. This is a very practical option for bedrooms with small spaces.
Two bedside tables
However, two nightstands may offer a slight sacrifice in space utilization. When placing two bedside tables, you need to consider the distance between them to prevent the bedroom from looking crowded. But if the bedroom is large enough, putting two bedside tables is undoubtedly a better choice. Two bedside tables not only provide more storage space, but also create a more comfortable and functional bedroom environment.
In summary, whether it is better to put one bedside table or two bedside tables depends on the actual needs of the individual and the space conditions of the bedroom. If the bedroom space is small or only one person uses the bed, a bedside table is enough to meet the needs. However, for a bedroom with two users or a larger space, two bedside tables are a better choice. Whether it is practicality, beauty or space utilization, two bedside tables can bring more functionality and beauty to the bedroom.
