On the day before the wedding, you'll have a lot of things to do: Welcome bags to deliver, out-of-town guests to greet, maybe even a manicure-pedicure appointment with your bridesmaids. If the schedule is jam-packed that day, do you really need to have a wedding rehearsal? Or is it OK to skip it?
Some people like their nightstands to be lower than the bed. Range of Options. Most commercially made nightstands are between 24 and 28 inches tall, corresponding to the average mattress height of 25 inches. This nightstand height alleviates the need for people who are standing up to bend over when reaching for items. However, since mattresses can be as low as 18 inches on a platform bed or as high as 36 inches on a canopy bed, there is demand for a variety of nightstand dimensions.
Ideal Lamp Height. A bedside table lamp should not be too large or too small, but a happy medium. The size of your lamp should be based upon the size of the bedside table it sits upon and the height of the headboard. If your nightstand is 24 to 30 inches tall, the ideal height for a lamp is 27 to 32 inches tall, advises the website William Miller Design.
