The Best Plinth Side Tables for Bedrooms

Plinth side tables sit on a solid base rather than on legs, giving a calm, architectural silhouette that suits the quiet mood of a bedroom. They are also practical: there is no gap underneath for dust or lost earrings, the wide base is difficult to knock over and more of the piece can be given over to drawers. In this guide we look at the plinth designs that work best beside a bed and what sets the better ones apart. We compare solid wood plinths in oak and walnut, high gloss finishes that bounce light around smaller rooms, fluted fronts that add texture and stone or stone effect blocks for a minimal look. We also cover upholstered options, the choice between drawers and open niches, how to keep proportions balanced in small and large rooms and which lamps suit a solid base. A short checklist helps you assess any design before you decide which one belongs in your bedroom....
