Of all the bedroom furniture you can buy, nightstands are the most underrated. They show off your personal style and taste, hold the necessities you pick up first in the morning and set down last at night (for me these include my phone and eyeglasses), and in the best scenarios, give you more storage for everything that doesn’t fit on your desk or dresser. A great nightstand fills in the gaps that other bedroom furniture can’t, and because these aren’t always the cheapest items, we jump at any opportunity to grab one on sale.

West Elm is currently having a sale on their storage nightstands, with some as much as 25 percent off. Each one has a distinct look — ranging from ultra modern and mid-century modern to homey boho-chic — so you’ll have an easy time finding one that fits your style. They’re all incredibly well made and offer ample storage space, which we think earns them a spot in any bedroom. Check out our favorites while they’re still on sale!

Furniture that mixes materials always brings a little more life to a room. Here, while the acacia wood body adds warmth, the woven cord shelf also adds airiness with its tall, open design. One of our favorite details is under the legs where built-in levelers help steady the nightstand on uneven floors.

Simple and clean-cut are always in style, and this classic all-wood nightstand is the kind of piece you'll never part with. Its two drawers are spacious enough to supplement your dresser or closet and hold clothes that have nowhere else to go, so it can be an easy way to cut down on bedroom clutter.

This compact design packs so much personality into one little nightstand. We love how its curved drawer blends in seamlessly with the round frame. Thanks to the real white marble on top, this nightstand has a distinctly upscale look. This also makes for an elegant side table in the living room.

White noise machines may give you the sound of the ocean, but they can't fully deliver on coastal vibes the way this nightstand can. The oak woodgrain brings natural warmth to your space while the shimmery capiz shell drawer adds an unexpected liveliness. If you're curious, capiz is made from a particular type of oyster shell and also shows up in lamp shades and chandeliers.

It doesn't get much more modern than a 100-percent metal and glass construction. Here, however, an antique brass finish adds a little charm and history, which helps this nightstand better mingle with the rest of your bedroom. The mirrored shelf also brings some art deco-inspired flair.

Gold or black metal handles and two generously-sized drawers set this nightstand apart. Details like the fluted wood — in either farmhouse rustic or clean modern finish — add charm that can either complement your existing design choices or give you a stylish starting point.

When you think of tiles, wood isn't the first material to come to mind, but it's used beautifully here to create a stylish pattern that feels right at home with the rest of the nightstand. If you've been looking for something to complement your bedroom's neutral theme, this is the one.

The gorgeous array of colors — we're partial to the reddish orange and cool green options — allows this nightstand to blend in with modern and non-modern decor schemes. Additionally, simple construction, clean lines, and pared down design choices like the tripod legs make it pop (without necessarily making it a statement piece).

Non-traditional nightstands like this open shelf table are accepted and encouraged. If your bedroom can spare the square footage, you'll always appreciate having even more shelf space. The sleek, steel construction (available in black or white) is definitely a modern touch, but one that looks fitting in any decor scheme.

Acrylic furniture has this fascinating ability to both blend in (because it's literally see-through) and stand out, and that's exactly what this simple design does. You can use the nightstand as-is and just give your belongings a place to rest, or you can decorate it with textiles (think using small scarves or kerchiefs as mini rugs) to give your bedside a little flair. Its open shelf also helps you keep track of what you're storing in there.
