At Timbit Wood Design, each bedside table is crafted by hand in our small workshop in Scotland. We believe furniture should serve your life, not just occupy space — so our bedside tables combine solid wood, timeless finishes and thoughtful dimensions to bring both character and utility into your bedroom. Reviews confirm the quality: one customer said “Beautiful quality, just like the pictures… Mario was so helpful when purchasing the bedside tables that I was trying to match with furniture I already had.” 
Here’s how to style one of our pieces so that it works hard for you every night — while looking effortlessly elegant.
1. Define How You Use It
Because a Timbit bedside table is handmade, you can tailor it to suit your habits. Ask yourself:
Do you use the top for a lamp + phone + water glass only?
Do you need a drawer or shelf for skincare or reading glasses?
Is your table next to the bed at mattress height or higher/lower?
Knowing your needs means the styling will follow a purpose — not just decoration.
2. Accent with Lighting
Our solid-wood bedside tables shine when paired with warm, soft lighting.
Choose a lamp height that places the bulb around the same level as your eye when lying down.
If you selected a floating variant (instead of our chunky drawer model), consider a wall-mounted bedside light to keep the surface clear.
Let the warm tones of the wood finish come alive in the lamp glow.
3. Keep Everyday Items Tidy with a Tray
On the surface of your Timbit table, use a small tray to group the items you reach for nightly:
Phone or smartwatch
A glass of water (coaster helps protect the finish)
Lip balm / hand cream
Your current book
This keeps your top surface intentional and uncluttered — letting the natural grain of the wood remain a feature.
4. Add One Decorative Element That Reflects the Wood
Because our tables have such authenticity in the material, you don’t need many decorative pieces. Instead:
Choose a small potted plant with warm tones that complement the wood.
Or a small brass or ceramic piece that contrasts with the wood’s texture.
This accent gives personality but doesn’t distract from the handcrafted elegance.
5. Make Use of the Drawer or Shelf (If You Chose It)
If you selected our Chunky Bedside Table with Drawer you have a hidden storage zone. Use it to keep:
Chargers out of sight
Sleep mask, earplugs
Night-time skincare
Notepad and pen
If you went for the floating/wall-mounted version, you might use the underside or open shelf for:
A stylish basket for current book
A slim tray for your daily essentials
6. Match Height & Proportion
Our tables are designed to complement a wide range of bed heights, but for best effect:
The top of the table should sit at or slightly below the top of your mattress.
This makes reaching effortless and keeps the silhouette visually balanced.
With chunkier styles, pair with lighter bedding to avoid the room feeling too heavy.
7. Let the Wood Be the Star
One of the best things about Timbit tables? The beautiful grain, the craftsmanship, the finish.
To highlight that:
Choose soft, neutral textiles around it (linen bedding, muted cushions).
Avoid overly bright or shiny accessories.
Leave a little negative space around the table — let the wood speak for itself.
8. Personal Touches That Work
Because our furniture is bespoke, it’s ready to accommodate your story.
Add:
A framed photo of your favourite memory.
A book you’re currently reading.
A special object that winds you down for the night.
One user review said: “Perfect, lovely quality and really helpful on colour matching with my other furniture!”
9. Weekly Maintenance for Longevity
To keep your Timbit bedside table working beautifully:
Wipe it once a week with a dry or damp cloth (depending on finish).
Remove any water rings immediately, especially if you use a coaster.
Dust around the lamp base and drawer edges so the craftsmanship stays visible and sharp.
Final Thoughts
Styling your bedside table is more than aesthetic — it’s about making a space work brilliantly for you. With a Timbit Wood Design piece, you’re not just buying a furniture object — you’re investing in something handmade, meaningful & built to last.
