Daybeds are often accepted as symbols of good time and they are inevitably associated with pleasure and leisure. These types of beds are neither chaise longues nor couch or a bed. They are a mixture of all these – a place to lie down. Usually such beds are open on one side and closed on the other three. These are very practical and functional furniture pieces which are very useful for a guest rooms or in small rooms. These furniture pieces are designed for one person and their main feature is the lack of a full back. There are designs with a single or with two armrests and some models have headboard instead of an armrest. A modern daybed is an elegant piece of furniture. In a small living room, it can replace a sofa and in a large room it can be used as a chair. Due to the fact that historically, day beds were the typical furniture in women’s salon and boudoirs, they add a touch of romance and a feeling of intimacy to the interior in the living room or the bedroom.
Most of us seldom have enough extra space to accommodate overnight guests. A daybed with trundle is a good idea as it will provide the beds for your guests without taking valuable living space. A design with pop up trundle stows away neatly beneath a daybed, futon, or bed. You can opt for a full size daybed with trundle or two separate twin sized beds. Another advantage of daybeds is that they can be used as extra seating when you entertain guests and family members. The great versatility of these beds allows you to place them in any room – kids bedroom, home office, living room and the wide variety of designs makes sure that you will be able to fit your daybed with your home decor.
Daybeds with storage would be a great idea as they will provide an additional storage space for toys, books, magazines and various belongings. Such furniture pieces are multifunctional and combine sleeping and lounging space with practical needs as storage. In addition, they will not clutter your living area and your movement. You can have a built-in daybed with storage at a bay window. Modern designs feature straight sleek lines and are very popular in contemporary and minimalist interiors and add a sophisticated touch in the home.
