How tall should a nightstand be in relation to the bed?

Consider nightstands with drawers or shelves for storage, and ensure there's enough surface area for a lamp, phone, and other essentials.
Can I mix and match nightstands in the bedroom?
Mixing nightstands can add character to your bedroom. Keep a cohesive look by matching their height or color scheme.
How should bedroom lighting be positioned?
Wall-mounted bedside lamps should be positioned with the light source at 24 inches (61 cm) from the top edge of the mattress.
What are the ideal dimensions for bedroom furniture placement?
Beds should allow a minimum of 30 inches (76 cm) of clearance on either side and at the foot of the bed for ease of movement. The top of your mattress should be approximately 24 inches (61 cm) from any bedroom wall-mounted lighting fixtures.
What are some effective ways to clean and maintain my furniture and rugs?
