Metal nightstands

Metal nightstands provide a classy, sophisticated accent to your home. They can permeate a sense of authority, with cold, hard masculine stainless steel or iron. Or, they can be flirty and feminine, with enough of an ornate design to provide a feminine curl. They come in classic styles that compliment most furniture designs. We recommend that you consider the following design factors when  selecting you nightstand of choice:

Color and Metal Type—Wrought iron metal nightstands are popular.  So are bronzed, antiqued looking stands.  Stainless steel provides a smooth, space-aged appearance.  Black and white metal nightstands will provide a simple look on which you can build.  Do you want the metal to look sleek and modern, or rough and antiqued?  How shiny do you want it to be?  Consider the furniture that will be near it.  The nightstand can be the perfect accent for your boudoir. 

Style and Design—Do you want a scrolled look?  Something thick and bold, or thinner, baroque, and ornate?  Do you want circular curls—with a floral motif—or something with a sturdy and solid appearance?  Do you want it to have clean, crisp lines?  Metal nightstands come in an array of styles, to complement your decorating needs.

Complementary Furniture—Do you have a metal headboard for your bed?  If so, you’ll want to select a metal nightstand that compliments its look.  Will the nightstand go near the couch?  Select a style and color that will look good with the other furniture in the room.

Sturdiness—Metal nightstands provide solid support for your books, lamps, and drinking glasses.

Dimensions—Measure the space in advance, and check the sizes of the nightstands before purchase.  Measure for height, width, and depth.  This will ensure that you select a nightstand that will match your needs.

Assembly—Make sure to check for assembly requirements, so that you can be prepared with the right tools when your metal nightstands arrive.

Storage and Functionality—Are you looking for drawer space or a cubby?  Are you simply looking for a stand to set things on?  Or, are you looking for an accent piece with scrolled legs?  Will you have it by your bed, or in the entryway or hallway or by the couch?  Is it a place to put the remote control?  Will the objects you want to put on it look good there?

Decorating Tips—A wrought iron stand with scroll work would look great with a crocheted lace accent cover (over a solid colored cloth) and a vase of flowers.  It would also look beautiful with a batik print cloth cover.  Experiment with designs, and consider blending the best elements of the fabrics with the style of metal and nightstand design.  Bronzed finished metal nightstands can have clean, crisp masculine lines; or be ornate and feminine.  Use a modern lamp, a silk lamp, a stained glass lamp—or whatever you think will be pretty with the style and color.  If you go for a stainless steel nightstand with clean lines, keep it minimalist.  Lamps and drinking glasses that are simple would be appropriate.
