When choosing the dimensions of curbstones for a bed, it is important to remember the size of the berth itself, while applying the principle of uniform dimensions. If the bed is very large, and the bedside tables rather look miniature, visual imbalance immediately becomes noticeable, which is not always pleasant to the eye.

For many ordinary people it is extremely difficult to answer the question of how to choose the colors of their new bedside tables. There are no general rules here, designers usually use typical color schemes, one of which you will obviously have to taste:

• The headboard and bedside table next to it are made of different materials, but kept in the same color scheme. For example, the head of the bed can be brown, and the color of the nightstand can be coffee with milk.
• The color of the bedside elements is directly opposite to the color of the bed. The bed can be saturated black or red, then the thumbs should be dazzling white.
• The color of the bedside tables is fully consistent with the non-basic subton of the bedroom interior design. Wenge-colored furniture is perfectly suited for this purpose, if the whole bedroom is designed in a strict classical style and uses textures that most closely resemble natural wood.

• Bedside cabinets are matched to the color of other pieces of furniture, which are also successfully present in the interior (only the bed is not taken into account).
• Bedside tables fully support the original color of the walls, floor coverings or doors.
