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.
1. Perfect for minimalists is the Barcelona Day Bed designed by Mies van der Rohe, a master in modernist furniture. This daybed in black leather is the epitome of sophistication with Its clean lines and structural simplicity.

3. This daybed’s blush tone is the perfect foil for a fuchsia-patterned mattress littered with cushions in a riot of colours – kitsch done right.

4. Nailhead trim and an ultra-thick mattress make this three-sided daybed a luxe spot for a quick snooze in the sun – the warm throw is a handy addition.

5. This Chinese-inspired daybed would be a smart addition not only in a study but even in the living room. The black-and-white combo is a sleek look that can steal the show in any room.
6. Give your room a coastal vibe with a white-painted daybed, blue mattress and nautical-print cushions. Three large drawers in its base provide enough storage to put away off-season bedding.
The Raj Company
7. One can almost imagine a minor maharaja or prince puffing on his pipe whilst sitting on this antique opium daybed; its delicate carvings and the canopy add a touch of regal elegance to the space.
Hampton Design
8. Boasting natural rattan in a curved wooden frame, this daybed with soft white bedding and a peek of salmon accents suggests a gracious laid-back lifestyle.

9. With its intricate carving that’s almost lace-like in appearance, this lounger can transform your verandah or living room with its effect of baroque grandeur.
Reed Design Group
10. Velvet, animal print, faux fur – that’s luxe multiplied three times, not to mention the loveseat design that makes it perfect for a cosy twosome on a winter’s day. The coolness of the ice blue is offset by the warmth of the rich fabrics.
Elad Gonen
11. Here’s a daybed crafted simply in bamboo, with pure white bedding and a matching sunshade, which spells style – a temptation one can give in to all summer long.

12. Recreate an Arabian night – or two – on this deeply comfortable daybed in avocado green and sunburnt orange. The lanterns hanging from the canopy are a nice touch.
