You might not see the need for bedside tables until you realise you need a place to charge your phone, keep your nighttime read handy, or set down that glass of water you drink before going to bed.For people with small bedrooms, bedside tables don’t have to be an indulgence you can’t afford. Here, we’ve compiled bespoke bedside table ideas that will help keep your essentials within arm’s reach without taking up too much space.&nbsp;<h3>1. Fold down when necessary</h3>&nbsp;Having a flip-up bedside table adds more versatility to the bedroom. You can easily flip it up when you need to use it as a nightstand and fold it down afterwards to create more space in the bedroom, or in this case, to access the closet!&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/796fc415-ca3c-4afa-8019-484970093ab3-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/starry-homestead">Starry Homestead</a>&nbsp;<h3>2. Overhead oval nooks</h3>&nbsp;When space is tight, don’t forget to think vertically. In this bedroom, they cleverly covered up an existing recessed wall leaving out just two slices of oval-shaped shelves above the bed to act as bedside tables.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/a4b3dfd3-7f99-4aa9-bf06-2f00367914da-blob" width="960" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/the-local-inn.terior">The Local Inn.terior</a>&nbsp;<h3>3. Marvelling at marble&nbsp;</h3>&nbsp;Carved out from the headboard itself, this bedside table takes up minimal room but adds a huge visual statement with its gorgeous black-and-white marble swirls in an otherwise minimalist bedroom. It's a great way to add a touch of the natural material without breaking the bank.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/266328d8-fe73-4ef6-b7ae-4c4c6606d9dd-blob" width="960" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/ascend-designs">Ascend Design</a>&nbsp;<h3>4. Closet cubbyhole</h3>&nbsp;Ran out of space for a bedside table because you wanted to maximise your built-in wardrobe all the way to the side of your bed? You can always create a recessed cubby within your closet to make room for one. Loving the pop of red that matches those closet handles!&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/c25c491c-422c-4b3c-8e1d-d7ec2338e9cb-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/mr-shopper-studio">Mr Shopper Studio</a>&nbsp;<h3>5. Clutter-free with curtains</h3>&nbsp;This clever bedroom storage idea means you get to use those shelves as a nightstand. And by using curtains instead of a door, it not only saves a bit more room but also adds to the versatility since you can use them to hide clutter when needed.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/2f5f48bc-ac8e-45cc-9eaa-de00b21fe79b-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/knock-knock-studio">Knock Knock Studio</a>&nbsp;<h3>6. Double envelopment</h3>&nbsp;If your wardrobe design surrounds your bed, think about allocating some room for bedside tables. This can help prevent the room from feeling cramped and give you extra breathing space (visually and physically), while also providing a spot for your nighttime essentials.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/806;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5009f828-d743-4976-82d0-04e4962439ab-blob" width="1200" height="806"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/fifth-avenue-interior">Fifth Avenue Interior</a>&nbsp;<h3>7. Bedframe extension</h3>&nbsp;Consider extending your custom bed frame out to the side to serve as a nightstand. It saves space and creates a more cohesive look than using a separate bedside table.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/a7e92e70-de97-4abb-97fa-ebaf2b8b3a6b-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/chengyi-interior-design">Chengyi Interior Design</a>&nbsp;<blockquote>Looking for an interior designer to get you the perfect bedroom for rest?

Tuck it in</h3>&nbsp;Here's another option for keeping your bedside table out of the way when you don't need it. This nightstand conveniently tucks back into the bed frame after you're done using it.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/801;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/5661a654-dc1b-4b1d-b93f-a17b79f1de21-blob" width="1200" height="801"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/346680a5-2171-4b07-a222-6cf0769acf34-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/by:-dan-&amp;-co">By: Dan &amp; Co</a>&nbsp;<h3>9. Two for one</h3>&nbsp;Looking for a bedside table that can also double as a workstation? This ingenious solution offers two different heights for all your needs in just one structural piece.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/800;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/98d54380-aa73-4b67-b185-1d2d2d158bb3-blob" width="1200" height="800"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/arche-interior">Arche</a>&nbsp;<h3>10. Multipurpose headboard</h3>&nbsp;This customised headboard does more than just act as a headboard—it also functions as a privacy screen and offers ample space for all your bedside necessities. Plus, the shelf comes with a sliding door to help keep clutter out of sight when necessary.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1200/857;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/ccb0893f-9857-49b6-b93d-4503e655cc47-blob" width="1200" height="857"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/authors-%E2%80%A2-interior-&amp;-styling">Authors Interior &amp; Styling</a>&nbsp;<h3>11. Make use of a corner</h3>&nbsp;We love how this bedside table fixes itself onto a corner to take up as little space as possible. It's also curved to prevent wayward elbows from knocking against sharp corners in the middle of the night.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/f24c5375-2c9f-4794-8464-319b31d39474-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/buildbuilt">BuildBuilt</a>&nbsp;<h3>12. Crescent delight&nbsp;</h3>&nbsp;Another cool recessed shelf that is incorporated into the headboard. This not only frees up some floor space, but also adds a neat touch to the room. Customise the shap to fit your style, making it both visually appealing and practical.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/1200;" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/14b9e102-ac3f-48d1-bd39-24ceca8ff42e-blob" width="800" height="1200"></figure>&nbsp;Design: <a href="https://www.renonation.sg/professional/buildbuilt">BuildBuilt</a>
