Think unconventionally about the placement of a traditional daybed frame. Put in the right spot, such a bed can become a unique and classy couch for daytime (or even exclusive) use. To keep it from actually looking simply like a bed, use a variety of pillow shapes such as euros and bolsters, and refrain from the traditional bed shapes of king and standard pillows.
Whether on a sleeping porch or a multi-use room, a day bed with an interesting frame can be used as furniture or a place for guests to sleep! The pillows keep it from looking like an extra bed you had floating around.
