If you want a modern feel go for bedside chests with clean lines and simple styling. The modular bedroom range of bedside chests will be ideal. For something slightly more ornate or traditional check out the Shingsu or Chamois bedside chests.

If you have an ornate bed and want this to be your focal point choose white bedside tables that blend into the background, or a colour that matches your walls such as aubergine or grey gloss.

Things to consider when purchasing bedside chests include: Height - do you want the chest at the same height as the mattress on your bed? What will you use it for and therefore how much actual storage do you require - three drawers, two drawers or just one?; What kind of feel do you want to create - matching bedside chests on either side of the bed create a sophisticated boutique style feel for example. Make sure you measure the space around the bed and ensure you have enough space between each piece of furniture.
