Antique French-style bedside tables
There is no doubt that the French bedside tables are stylish. Adding some antique French-style accents to your bedroom can give it an effortlessly chic look.
There is a range of French styles to choose from, each of which would work in different styles of interior design.
- Provincial - think French country homes and cottages. Cabriole legs, simple scalloped carving, wheat patterns, woven rush, white colour scheme, and flower designs.
- Baroque - this style originated just after the Renaissance and is full of beautiful, dramatic, ornate, and intricate symmetrical embellishments.
- Rococo - from Baroque emerged Rococo. Just as ornate and opulent, this style takes a more romantic, softer, and airy approach.

Industrial modern-style bedside tables
The industrial revolution began in the mid-90s and any interior designer will tell you that it hasn't slowed down yet. Industrial interior design is all about incorporating pieces that had a different function before the one they now have, with nods to upcycling and salvaging of furniture.
In industrial furniture, you are likely to see hallmarks such as:
- The pairing of wood and metal - the contrast between warm natural wood and cool industrial metal is key to the industrial modern trend.
- Raw edges - industrial furniture strikes that balance of looking unfinished without being too shabby.
- Texture - a mix of different textures is a key element of the industrial modern look.
- Neutral colours - the natural colours of the materials are often left to shine through and if the furniture is painted, it tends to be in muted, darker colours.
16) Grey Metal Industrial Bedside Cabinet
This is a unique bedside table that will add that perfect industrial feel to your bedroom. Its grey metal ticks all the right boxes and the mesh-fronted cabinet door with a contrasting wood handle helps it to truly stand out.

Modern and contemporary style bedside tables
These two styles have a lot in common and can somewhat overlap although there are some differences. Both modern and contemporary styles will feature:
- Clean lines
- No elaborate ornamentation or carving
- Neutral colour scheme
- Wood, metal, and glass
- Geometric patterns
Where they differ is that contemporary design has a slightly softer approach than modern. Modern style furniture will have angular lines only and be quite sharp, its wood will be highly finished, and colours like black and white feature prominently.
In contrast, contemporary design will also have curved lines, its wood is often left with a natural finish, and neutral colours like brown, cream and taupe are common. Some bright accent colours will also be seen.
A good example of a contemporary design movement is Scandinavian. This is all about taking a minimalist approach that strips away any necessary details while also embracing natural materials.
