Your quality of life is going to improve dramatically once you start buying a bit of furniture here or there, and perhaps the single most effective furniture that you could ever end up purchasing once all has been said and is now out of the way is a bed. However, once you have bought your ideal bed, suffice it to say that your journey is only just beginning because of the fact that you would also need a surface that you can place items on such as a glass of water that you plan to drink during the night or a lamp that you use to illuminate your books while you do some night time reading before you sleep.

A common question that we get asked about bedside tables is whether you need one or two. You can get by with one table without much trouble, but this will make your room look rather lopsided and disorganized. The reason behind this is that you would only have a table on one end of your bed, with the other end looking decidedly bare and forlorn.

Hence, buying a pair of side tables will make your room look far more symmetrical than might have been the case otherwise, and that is something that is more than worthwhile for you. Even if you live alone, having your bed bookended by dual side tables on each side is important so that you can create a wonderful look for your bedroom. What’s more is that having two tables gives you far more storage space which is useful if you have plenty of belongings and don’t want to leave them strewn all across your floor.
