How to Choose a Nightstand? - Kipli

How do you choose a nightstand?

Choosing a nightstand sets a calm tone for the bedroom. This small piece of furniture defines the sleeping area: it holds what you really need, clears your mind before bed, and sets the mood of the room. The right choice starts with how you’ll use it. Do you want discreet storage for your books, glasses, or a notebook? Or a very minimalist, almost graphic piece that lightens up the room? In the "Nightstands" category, several styles coexist, all made of solid wood and built to last.

For functional storage and a warm, inviting look, the AVA nightstand offers all the essentials: a smooth-gliding drawer, a solid beech frame, and understated lines that pair easily with a wooden or fabric headboard. Its reassuring silhouette works just as well in a master bedroom as it does in a guest room. If you like this design but prefer an even more minimalist version, the NOVA nightstand emphasizes the texture of the materials and the purity of its lines; it blends naturally into a contemporary, Scandinavian, or Japandi decor.

When floor space is limited, a wall-mounted solution frees up space and creates a sense of lightness. The LIVIA wall-mounted nightstand appears to float, while remaining practical. Mounted on the wall, it allows you to perfectly align the height with the mattress and slide a basket or rug under the shelf. For those who prefer a freestanding option, the freestanding LIVIA offers the same elegance in a freestanding version.

If you're looking for a more artisanal style, the cabinetmaker's craftsmanship is evident in the LUCA nightstand : solid wood, natural finish, and meticulous craftsmanship. Its version with a shelf adds an extra level for setting down a book or a glass of water without cluttering the main surface. Finally, consider the accessories: an ARCO side table next to the bed can hold a sculptural lamp or a vase and, when needed, serve as a nearby surface that extends the nightstand.

No matter which style you choose, there are a few principles to guide you in making a confident decision. Material-and-color consistency: pairing solid wood with your bed frame, hardwood floors, or wardrobe creates a soothing visual continuity. Height in relation to the bed: a surface you can reach without contorting your body encourages simple movements—and thus a more peaceful bedtime routine. Quality craftsmanship: reliable glides, a soft-to-the-touch finish, and wood treated with oil or a natural varnish ensure long-lasting durability and easy maintenance (a soft cloth is all you need for daily cleaning). Finally, choose a model that lets the room breathe: in a bedroom, what truly matters is the comfort you can’t see. The nightstands from the Kipli collection have been designed with this in mind: practical, durable, and unobtrusive, they accompany you through the night with simplicity.
