Nightstands are not only important for their functionality, but they can also add more visual interest to your bedroom. That’s why choosing the right one is very essentials in order to create a perfectly interesting space.
There are many different starting points to determine what nightstand colors are suited best for you. One of the best ways to choose is based on the wall behind it. Another popular way is by using other furnishings as an anchor.
Since nightstand will be placed beside the bed, then it’s very reasonable to use any bed element as a pivot to determine what kind of nightstand you should buy. And one of the best elements that you can use for this particular job is the headboard.
In this article, we will show you our designer’s choice for the best nightstand that will go nicely with a gray headboard. Let’s get started :
7 Best Nightstands for Gray Headboard
Gray and Gold Nightstand
Use a matching color between the nightstand and the bed beside it may be a bit boring, but using the same color surely is the best way to create a perfectly harmonious look. To solve this problem, you can use any gray nightstand that had a bright or vibrant accent, and one of our favorites is gold.
This Elegant CosmoLiving Westerleigh Table is a great example. As you can see on the image above, the graphite gray nightstand perfectly matches the gray headboard, while its glam gold/brass accent brings more flavor and delicate looks.
Gray Wooden Nightstand
Other alternatives to avoid the boring, monotonous looks with the gray nightstands is by choosing the ones that using different materials with the headboard.
Since many headboards are using fabric, leather, or plastic materials, then a gray wooden nightstand can be a perfect choice. Using this kind of table can still bring a flawless look but in a different style and texture.
Gray and Glass Nightstand
When choosing gray as the main color palette for your bedroom, chances are, you want to create an elegant and stylish decor style. If you need the nightstand to enhance and emphasize this style, then a gray and glass nightstand can be a perfect choice for you.
Take a look at the glass nightstand that we used in the example above, this nightstand doesn’t have many gray elements, but it’s quite enough to make some color connection with the bed beside it. On the other side, the glass will create sleek, stylish, and elegant looks. It also makes the unique looks that make the table-top and the shelves look like they are floating.
Gray and Black Nightstand
For an industrial-style bedroom, we highly recommend the black and gray nightstand like this.

The white nightstand can also be a very versatile choice, as you can use them for any kind of interior style you want, from vintage or classic to modern contemporary.
