Symmetry is usually the easiest blueprint we follow when it comes to interior design.

Symmetry creates a balanced, mirrored set up that instantly creates a sense of order and calm in any room. That’s why matching bedside tables and lamps remain a timeless choice in bedroom design. 

But sometimes, breaking the rule can be just as effective.

Why Symmetry Works

• Creates Balance: Matching lamps and tables frame the bed, grounding the room.
• Gives a Polished Look: Symmetry can give your space a cohesive, hotel-like finish.
• Simple Styling: You don’t have to overthink it. The repetition does work.

For a classic look, try pairing two Hampton Two Drawer Bedsides with matching ceramic or timber lamps. Clean, timeless, and easy to style.

When to Break The Rule

Sometimes that perfect symmetry isn’t the answer. Asymmetry can add interest, especially if you want the bedroom to feel more relaxed and lived-in.

Try this instead:

• Mix lamp styles. Example: Floor lamp on one side, table lamp on the other.
• Pair a bedside table with a chair or stool on the opposite side
• Use different table styles, but tie them with matching colours or materials.

How to Get It Right

• Keep One Common Thread: If your tables are different, match the lamps. If your lamps are different, keep the tables the same.
• Balance Heights: Make sure one side doesn’t tower over the other.
• Add Cohesion with Accessories: Use matching artwork, cushions, or throws to tie the look together.

Pro-Tip: Symmetry gives instant elegance, while asymmetry adds character. The best bedrooms often use a little of both.
