If the top is too small for a lamp, put a wall light above it. That is the small-bedroom trick that makes any nightstand enough.
How much space do I need?
Measure the gap from the side of the mattress to the wall or the wardrobe. Leave about 2 in between the table and the bed so the duvet does not catch.
| Gap | Fits |
|---|---|
| 13.8 in | Affe ø12 in, or Lisa on the wall |
| 15.7 in | Lisa 12 in wide, Affe |
| 17.7 in and up | Iris 15.7 in wide |
Why floating wins in a small room
Lisa is screwed to the wall, so nothing touches the floor. The room reads larger, the floor is easy to clean, and you can mount it at exactly your mattress height. Two vegan leather straps under the top hold a book or a magazine.
What will fit on it?
On a 12 in top: a small lamp or a wall light above, a phone, a glass. On Iris at 40 by 13.8 in: a lamp, a book and a glass, and the drawer takes the rest.
Round or square?
Round Affe is easier to walk past in a narrow gap: no corner to catch a knee at night. Square Iris and Lisa give more usable top for the width.
