Hamptons Bedroom Storage

So you’ve decided to decorate your bedroom in the timeless Hamptons style—a smart choice for creating a calm and luxurious retreat. Now you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch: the perfect Hamptons bedside table to suit your home and your needs.

While often overlooked, a bedside table or chest of drawers can either enhance or disrupt the flow of a beautifully styled bedroom. In Hamptons interiors, where balance and elegance are key, choosing the right bedside requires attention to detail.

What to Consider When Choosing a Hamptons Bedside Table

Here are the four key factors to help you make the right choice:

1. Size: Get the Proportions Right

Why size matters:
Too short, and your bedside will look out of place next to your bed. Too bulky, and it will overpower the room.

Measure your space carefully:

• Start with the width of your bed and available space on either side
• Consider the overall room size to ensure balance
• Most importantly, pay attention to height: modern bed ensembles and bedheads are taller than ever, so your bedside should match or slightly exceed the mattress height

2. Material & Finish: Keep It Timeless

Hamptons interiors favour timeless, neutral finishes. Our collection focuses on timber bedside tables in colours and textures that stay stylish year after year.

Popular Hamptons Bedside Finishes:

• Satin White:
  Crisp, clean, and endlessly versatile. Our satin white finish brightens any room and pairs beautifully with white bedheads or oak accents. Unlike rustic whites, satin is smooth, easy to clean, and doesn’t lean yellow.
• Whitewashed Oak:
  Crafted from American Oak, this soft, neutral finish features a subtle whitewash that enhances the wood grain. It offers a warm coastal feel that complements beachside and relaxed interiors.

3. Style & Practicality: Choose What Works for You

Your Hamptons bedside table should suit both your style preferences and lifestyle needs.

Ask Yourself:

• Do you need storage? If so, how much?
• Do you prefer closed drawers, open shelves, or a combination of both?
• What shape or detailing suits the rest of your furniture?

4. Functionality: Style Meets Lifestyle

Not all customers want storage—some prefer an open base for styling or a clutter-free vibe. Others need maximum drawers to replace a lack of built-in robes.

Our most popular configuration?
One drawer plus an open shelf. It’s stylish, practical, and perfect for holding books, lamps, or chargers.

Think about what you actually use your bedside for—and choose accordingly.

Hamptons style is all about light, layered neutrals with soft coastal accents, so avoid anything too too colourful, glossy, or overly ornate.

We like to stick to crisp whites, warm whitewashed oak and occasionally black,  These tones reflect natural light and maintain a timeless look. Our bedside tables are classic designs and will suit a wide range of homes.

How Do I Choose the Right Colour?

Choose a colour that:

• Matches your bedhead (e.g. navy linen with white or navy table)
• Balances your room’s light (white brightens darker rooms)
• Coordinates with décor and style of housde (e.g. artworks, rugs, or lamps)

Not at all! While our bedsides and chests are designed with a Hamptons influence, their classic detailing and versatile finishes suit a wide range of interiors—from modern and farmhouse to country and coastal. Choose classic, choose forever.

We offer a variety of sizes to suit all bedroom layouts, from compact tallboys to wide storage units. Popular options include our Regency (152cm wide), Ascot (152cm wide, tallboy coming soon), and the spacious Sophia (183cm wide).

Under Australian safety standards, chest of drawers are considered one of the highest-risk furniture categories for tip-over incidents, particularly in homes with young children. This category is classified as Category 1 due to the increased risk of serious injury if furniture is not properly secured.

For safety, all chest of drawers should be anchored to the wall using appropriate anti-toppling restraints and installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We strongly recommend following all safety guidelines and ensuring furniture is secured correctly after installation.

Choosing the perfect Hamptons-style bedside table can elevate both the look and function of your bedroom.
