North Carolina Bedroom Furniture Stores on How to Pick a Nightstand

Bedroom furnishings have graduated from being more than just a matched set to multi-functioning pieces.  The nightstand has taken on the role of bookcase, medicine cabinet, and desk, in addition to being a place to set your spectacles and a glass of water.  Whether you use a pair of matching nightstands, or two complimenting pieces, they will serve as the control center for the bedroom.

Nightstands are an essential feature to a bedroom to provide a place for everything.  The average height of the mattress has grown significantly with the advent of pillow tops and comfort devices, making the nightstand more of a chest of drawers in size.  A height of 32” is now the standard, allowing for more drawers or shelving space underneath.

As you wander through the North Carolina Furniture Showrooms at Hickory Furniture Mart, you’ll also see that the nightstand does not have to be just a rectangular chest or table.  Round skirted tables add a feminine touch.  Heavily carved bombe style chests can offset an oversized headboard.  Painted, distressed, stone tops or sleek lines are all styles you will see in our bedroom furniture galleries.
