High Street Edit: Bedside Tables

I recently came across a bedside table that I can’t stop thinking about. I find good bedside tables hard to find and this one ticked all the boxes for me - solid wood, drawers to hide clutter, pretty handles and a scallop edge - however, it costs a cool £1295 which is totally out of my budget.

In fact, the two bedside tables we have in our bedroom were £10 from a charity shop at the tip and the other free from Facebook Marketplace.

If you haven’t had any success with second hand (and I know it can be particularly hard if you’re after a pair of tables,) then here are my top picks from the high street which are, thankfully, closer to budget than the dream piece. Maybe that will be one to recreate in the future with an upcycle, but for now it will just be saved away under ‘one day’.

  2. Remi two drawer bedside table with scalloped edge in natural, Dunelm

  3. Aurelie green mango wood beside table, Oliver Bonas

  4. Pippin two drawer bobbin bedside table in navy, Dunelm

  5. Hem one drawer bedside table with scallop edge in green, John Lewis

  6. Riya mango wood inlay bedside table, Oliver Bonas

  7. Mustard Made shorty locker in yellow, Urban Outfitters

  8. Giselle two drawer bedside table in mango wood, Dunelm

  9. Annie bedside table, Dunelm

If you have a slightly higher budget, this bedside table from Oliver Bonas is a lovely addition although to me the handles are a little much and I feel some antique brass ones would finish the look better.

And if you’re wondering about the bedside table that inspired this blog post (and had over 1k people on my Instagram stories clicking through to the link) it is this absolute beauty below by the talented Attica Studios.

I’ve been wondering if I could upcycle an existing piece of furniture to get the same look but the sticking point will be creating the scallop edge and ensuring the same finish on that as the rest of the piece - something which is easy enough if painting but when you want a solid wood look, this provides a few more problems.

One for me to think about for sure!
