I’m here for all this quiet luxury realness. While this isn’t strictly a nightstand, I can def see it working as one. The top table is tall enough to reach from your bed, and it also has two smaller tables underneath. You could pull out these as extra seating for you and your roomie, or even as extra storage room — the possibilities are endless, bb!

As a beach girlie at heart, anything with a touch of rattan seems to find its way into my basket. So, I’m living for this sweet table. It comes in white and blue, which are both giving me major coastal grandmother vibes. With the curved lines and looped legs, it looks really relaxed, and I think it will work in any style room.

You might not be able to keep an eye on your roomie all the time, but you can make them think twice about stealing your Starbursts with this all-seeing table.

My college dorm had basically no clothes storage, which was a disaster for a fashionista like me. I wish I’d thought out the box and grabbed some drawers. Don’t make the same mistake as me! Instead, go for a versatile drawer set like this, which doubles as a nightstand. I also think this would as apartment furniture, so you can use it even after dorm life is done.

I love a glam moment — what can I say, I’ve got an inner Sharpay! Put a mirror and makeup organizer on this and you’ll have a gorgeous makeup station, while still having enough room for your phone and nighttime necessities. This is a slightly larger width than some of the others on this list, so if you have space to fill, this could be a fab option.

Mirror, mirror, on the drawer, who is the most fabulous gal of all? It’s you, girlie. Add a shimmery, retro vibe to your dorm with this nightstand, which has four whole drawers. It also has wheels on it, so you can move it ‘round your dorm if you need to. Dormify reviewers say it’s easy to put together and very cute.

This isn’t just any table — it’s a functional AF table. The tray is removable, so you can lift it up and take it over to your desk. Or, if you want to give yourself the full hotel experience, you could load up breakfast on it and have breakfast in bed. When you’re outta dorms and in your first place, this would also look so cute as living area or patio furniture.

Only got a teeny gap for your nightstand? This is the solution. I like that this has a clever route for cables to loop through, keeping them tidy and untangled. It also has a handy handle, so you can move it around your dorm if you need to. Ooh, and don’t forget about that huge storage bin, that will fit so many textbooks/midnight snacks.

Storage cubes were my jam when I was at college. I had a lot of stuff from home that I didn’t know what to do with, and they were such an easy way to keep it all contained in a tidy way. In fact, storage cubes are still my jam today, TBH! You can fit two storage cubes snugly in this nightstand, and still have enough space up top for your sleep mask and phone.
Found everything you need? Once you’ve got a nightstand figured out, you can move on to decorating your bed. I’ve also rounded up Dormify bedding, curating everything from sheets to shams. Getting your sleep zone sorted is a key part of making your dorm feel relaxing and comfortable, so I def recommend getting this done first. Sweet dreams, bestie!
