Curbstones can be compact, but can be large, with spacious storage systems. Special nightstands designed for storing laundry can easily replace a bulky wardrobe. This way you can save the already modest area of ​​the bedroom. There are also types of nightstands in which a mirror is provided. As a result, a simple dressing table is obtained from a simple curbstone, where you can store a large number of different things and cosmetics.

There are many varieties of bedside tables for the bedroom. They differ in shape and size, and in the number of shelves, and in the type of their arrangement in the furniture structure.

• The standard cabinet of the classic type is a model having two drawers. Such options are characterized by high practicality and convenient use. It is these models that account for the largest percentage of sales.

• Found in furniture stores and curbstones with a swing door. Usually they only have 2-3 shelves. Such products perfectly protect all contents from dust accumulation.

• Look a little easier cabinets equipped with only one drawer. It is usually located at the top of the structure. It can be divided into 2 or 4 components. This kind of shelf makes it easy to access the necessary things and gadgets.

• Most bedroom tables are outdoorHowever, there are also more interesting suspension structures. They look much more interesting and always attract special attention. Attachments are usually attached to the wall near the bed. They take up little free space, but are functional in operation. That is why many people today prefer such interesting models of bedside tables.

• If you do not want to buy a simple and trivial model with a mediocre look, you can look at more original designer cabinets. They can have the most non-standard and unexpected forms, unique decorations and other similar details.

The shape and size of the bedside tables for the bedroom can be different. Most often, there are traditional rectangular options for sale. The most common standard product width is 50–55 cm and height is 55–60 cm. If necessary, on sale you can find models with other dimensional parameters. If desired, you can order an instance of a certain width and height. You can choose a more modest version of the cabinet, the width of which will be only 30, 35 or 40 cm.

The rectangular shape is not the only one available. Modern manufacturers produce other attractive options for such furniture. The curbstone can be square, round, oval, angular. Moreover, the model parameters may also vary. For example, a product can be long, narrow, low or high - it all depends on the preferences of the consumer.

Modern bedroom cabinets are made from different materials. The cost and characteristics of the product depend on this parameter. Let's consider what such furniture is made of.

This is the highest quality and most environmentally friendly material. Curbstones are made of different species, both budget (pine, birch), and elite, expensive (oak). The main advantage of such furniture is its absolute safety. In such furniture there are no dangerous chemical compounds that can harm a person. Sleeping in the same room with wooden bedside tables is absolutely safe. Models made of natural wood look aesthetically pleasing and easily fit into many interiors. Their design can be completely different, from classic to artsy. There are unique options, decorated with carved details.

Natural wood furniture is expensive, especially if it is made from a rare and valuable breed. Wooden cabinets do not tolerate high humidity. From time to time they must be treated with special protective compounds, without which they can become worthless from negative external factors. Products made from natural materials suffer from both moisture and wood parasites. Without timely processing, such a product will not retain its beauty for a long time.

Chipboards from chipboard are cheap, look rustic. They are found in many stores and belong to the economy class. Their design is rarely striking - most of the patterns are template. However, it should be noted that formaldehyde resins are present in the composition of the chipboard, which, at high temperatures, release harmful fumes into the environment. Such furniture is not recommended to be placed in the bedroom.

Such curbstones are more environmentally friendly and safe. They do not contain hazardous and corrosive substances. Models from MDF are presented in a huge assortment. They have a diverse design. There are specimens imitating natural materials, as well as cabinets, on the surface of which there is a beautiful gloss - the assortment is huge. True, such furniture is more expensive than options from chipboard.

Very beautiful and original furniture is woven from the vine. In appearance, such designs are very delicate, soft, close to the style of eco or country. They are expensive because they are often made by hand.

The color of the cabinet must match the rest of the gamut present in the interior. Moreover, the shade does not have to be absolutely identical to the environment - it just has to harmonize with and resonate with it. Curbstones should emphasize the coziness and comfort of a bedroom, fit into the general style of the interior.

Pedestal design should correspond to the stylistic direction of the bedroom as a whole, namely:

• for minimalism, a simple model is more suitable without unnecessary decor, the facade should be smooth;
• for classics, a model made of natural wood is suitable, carved parts are allowed; color can be both light and dark;

• for the Baroque style, an intricate design with ornate carvings, bent legs and "pot-bellied" facades is ideal;
• in the Scandinavian interior will look laconic curbstone with light facades;

• for Art Nouveau it is worth picking up a curbstone having smooth forms and rich upholstery, for example, from leather.

The stand is worth choosing based on a number of basic criteria.

• Material. Pick quality models from safe and environmentally friendly materials. For the bedroom you can not buy toxic furniture.
• Style and color. Furniture should match the style of the bedroom interior. This also applies to its color. You should not buy models that will be knocked out of the general ensemble.
• Build quality. The cabinet should be assembled efficiently. Inspect the design before buying. There should be no damage to the furniture. All connections must be strong and reliable.
• Brand Buy high quality branded products. Request documentation, quality certificates.

The stand can be made by yourself. First, a furniture diagram with all sizes is drawn.Wood blanks should be processed. They are cut to size. First, you can make a curbstone from cardboard - this will be a sketch. Next, the workpieces are treated with a grinder and coated with a stain.

Further, all parts are assembled in one design. For this, self-tapping screws and glue are suitable. Hexagon bolts are suitable if you are working in a workshop. For such fasteners, holes of the correct diameter in the structure must be made. In the end, they put the fittings and glue the edges.

Bedside tables are always placed on the sides of the bed. It is desirable that they be the same in design. If the model is angular, it can be placed in the free corner of the room. TV stands are usually placed opposite the bed.

Today, cabinets can be selected for interiors of any style. So, in a room filled with mirrored surfaces, next to a snow-white bed, white nightstands with wave-like elements of the body will harmoniously look. A lamp made of glass and metal should be put on this furniture.

The bedroom, done in pale gray-violet tones, will be a great place for a fashionable bright bed with a high soft headboard. Laconic black square tables with glossy surfaces will look spectacular next to her. They should be placed original angular lamps, decorated with small patterned prints.

In a bright room near the snow-white bed, small hanging tables, also made in white, will be interesting to look at. The stylish facade of the drawer in such furniture will dilute the whiteness - an imitation of a wooden surface may take place on it. The situation will come to life if you put a living plant in a small pot on such a shelf, and hang a suitable decor over the bed, for example, a picture elongated in shape.

An expensive bed with a high headboard will elegantly look in an artsy style interior burgundy or dark brown, decorated with gilded details. Next to such a berth, a nightstand will harmonize with beautiful curved legs covered with gilding. The facade of the furniture can also be decorated with carved elements and gilded surfaces.
