Target Nightstands: Quick Menu
Every bedroom needs a good place to stash all your essentials and a Target nightstand is just the solution. Whether you're curling up with a book or having an all-out lazy day, however you choose to relax, you're going to need your phone, hand cream, and a few other odds and ends nearby.
Before you dive headfirst into the world of small bedroom storage ideas, a little forethought. At present, there are some 947 nightstands listed on Target's site, making the search for something both affordable and premium a little tricky. You know the old adage, "Seeing everything is seeing nothing."
We've put our expertise into sourcing only the top easy-assembly nightstand designs, picking out an array of colorways and styles, spanning minimal white designs to more rustic wooden ones. So, next time you wake up in the middle of the night thirsty, you'll be glad to have the nightstand there, primed with a glass of water and looking chicer than ever.
12 of the best Target nightstands for the ultimate bedside setup
Anyone looking for chic small bedroom ideas will likely need a nightstand, if not just for decoration. Indeed, student housing and shared apartments are rarely decked out upon arrival. It's wise to give your boudoir a personal touch — something I kept in mind during my not-so-distant days as a freshman.
Here, I'm sharing that same wisdom — now enhanced with a few more interiors-obsessed years behind me — towards your search, whether you're after something kooky for that alt-girl aesthetic, Scandi, or mid-century modern.

If you're after something a little wilder, that also ticks boxes for quiet luxury — this is just the ticket.

Being stylish isn't all about making a statement. In some cases, you can whisper panache rather than plastering it across your room. Indeed, this open-shelf design does what it says on the tin and matches with almost any decor — loud or quiet. It's a strong little guy, and you wouldn't even know that it's marketed as kids' bedroom furniture.

Did somebody say slick? With steely looks and a raised edge on its top surface, this offers great space-saving capabilities and major styling kudos alike. Another that's giving quiet luxury if you ask us. Plus, in the gray, it instantly adds a mature and restrained edge — even in the most typical student pads. My favorite feature? That raised top edge prevents objects from taking an impromptu flying lesson.

How we chose
With so many products out there, trialing each and every one physically is an impossible task. So, we take the next best approach, which is to scour through reams upon reams of reviews and feedback from doting (or not-so-doting) customers. After all, the customer is always right, and on Target, they're especially honest. As such, I've picked out only products with a minimum of four stars and some nice words to boot, all while taking into account the current trends sweeping the world of interiors right now.
Once you have your nightstand all figured out, you're going to need everything else that goes with it! First up: Nightstand lamps to brighten up your bedside cabinet and give your room some ambiance.
