These daybeds will have you heading to the nearest store to pick one stat for your home
Highly underrated and mostly second in line when it comes to choosing furniture for the home, the modern daybed is actually a very versatile and stylish seating option that can work for a variety of interiors. Typically featuring three raised sides – the back, the head and the foot – and sometimes opening out to a full bed, the modern daybed has taken on multiple avatars as a cross between a bed, a couch and a chaise longue. Whether you are looking for additional sleeping space for guests, or to add charm to your living room, or to simply take a quick nap in the day, these daybeds make the transition from study to living room to patio with ease.
