Get the Most Out of Your Space with a Daybed
A good daybed is one of the most useful and functional pieces of furniture you can own, especially if you are in a small space. A daybed can help a room perform multiple functions. For example, a few throw pillows can transform a bed into a sofa, thus turning the guest room into a home office.
Daybeds are ideal for tight dorm rooms and studio apartments. No one coming over for a cocktail party wants to feel like they are sitting on your bed. If you are lucky enough to have an extra bedroom or two, a daybed is great in a home office or a playroom for when extra guests descend. Some even come equipped with trundles so that you can comfortably accommodate two people with one bed.
Also, with the great variety of weather-resistant fabrics available on the market today, you can enjoy lounging on a daybed outside. Below are some beautiful examples of daybeds serving double-duty:
