Do you feel like your home never has enough space to meet your needs? Nearly everyone knows the importance of having adequate storage to free up extra space. But you shouldn\u2019t overlook the versatility of multi-purpose furniture either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A daybed is the ideal blending of a casual sofa and a guest bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be an easy way to supplement the existing seating in a spare room or common area. And you\u2019ll always have an extra bed ready to accommodate guests (or two, if you invest in a trundle frame!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the daybed ideas below to learn how to bring this classic piece of furniture into the modern design era<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Maximize Space with Built-In Daybeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing says \u201cthoughtful, multi-purpose design\u201d like built-in furniture. While built-in bookcases have seen a resurgence in contemporary design, let\u2019s not ignore the stylish practicality of a built-in daybed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A built-in daybed is a perfect addition to any home office<\/a>, guest room, playroom, or space-conscious living space. During the day, it serves as a reading nook or loveseat. At night, it instantly transforms into a functional sleeping surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This style of daybed tends to have a vintage aesthetic<\/a>, especially when installed in front of a large window or bookshelf. Take this into account when choosing the finishing touches for your new furniture (such as bolsters or decorative throw pillows<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create Your Own DIY Daybed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building a traditional bed from scratch isn\u2019t easy. If you\u2019re looking to practice your woodworking skills on a piece of furniture, try starting with a DIY daybed instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lovely thing about building a DIY daybed frame is that the entire thing is extremely simple. For example, you can construct a basic daybed out of nothing more than a wooden pallet and a mattress. Even beginner DIYers can tackle this project with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great option is to convert an existing piece of furniture into a DIY daybed. You can do this with a repurposed bench, storage crates, or stacks of pallet wood. As long as the finished piece can safely support its intended user, nearly any material will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Elegant Metal Daybed Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike wooden and upholstered daybed ideas, metal frames tend to come with a more traditional shape and overall styling. These pieces work great in any bedroom with a farmhouse or cottage aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left bare, a metal bed frame may look cold and uninviting. Soften your daybed with plush pillows and cozy blankets. You can also use your bedding\u2019s color palette to convey some much-needed warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to consider is that metal daybeds are not as comfortable or supportive as other styles (at least when used for seating). If you want to use your daybed as an everyday sofa in your living room, be sure to arrange plenty of dense cushions for back support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Stylish Modern Daybeds for Contemporary Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many homeowners overlook the versatility of this furniture because they believe all daybeds are out of fashion. On the contrary, modern-style daybeds are incredibly trendy and available from many popular retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern daybed frames do not feature ornate metalwork or frilly bed skirts. Instead, they\u2019re sleek and easy to fit into nearly any existing room design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for an upholstered daybed<\/a> frame with simple legs and a neutral color scheme. You can also create a DIY mid-century modern daybed with a cloth-covered bench or roomy sofa. Don\u2019t overpower your contemporary design with too many accessories \u2014 all you need is a bolster pillow and a coordinating throw blanket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Versatile Daybeds for Multipurpose Rooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outside of dorms or studio apartments, relatively few households use a daybed as everyday furniture. However, a daybed is a great option for adding a guest bed to a spare room or home office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need somewhere to sit while working on your laptop? Use the daybed as a comfy sofa. Have a guest staying the night? Quickly convert the daybed to a fully functional sleeping surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of using a daybed in place of a regular double bed is that it can adapt to meet the needs of the room at any given moment. Extra features like storage drawers or a pull-out trundle can make your multipurpose room even more versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Enhance Outdoor Areas with Daybeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There really is no better way to cozy up an outdoor space than with a daybed. You can set up a daybed under a backyard pergola, inside a covered porch, or alongside a swimming pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Outdoor

An outdoor bed is the perfect place to curl up with a book, chat with friends, or cool off after a long day in the garden. Some outdoor bed frames even feature built-in shade coverage to protect sleepy sunbathers from overexposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to invest in a daybed design specifically built for outdoor use. You\u2019ll also want to select outdoor-safe bedding to adorn your new patio furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Bohemian Charm: Rattan and Bamboo Daybeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with leaning into the vintage look of many daybed ideas. If your home decor borrows inspiration from boho or 1970s design, we suggest finding yourself a nice rattan daybed frame<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rattan

\"Rattan
Source: @loveinahome via Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase a brand new rattan-style daybed or refurbish a used frame. While newer bed frames tend to be more durable, nothing can replace the charm of authentic, lived-on furniture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rattan furniture looks right at home on a patio or terrace. You can give your backyard some Bohemian flair with a rattan daybed or wicker chaise lounge. (Remember to invest in synthetic furniture \u2014 natural rattan and bamboo won\u2019t stand up to the elements!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Daybeds with Storage Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the greatest benefits of including a daybed in your home design is the sheer versatility. But you can make your guest room even more functional by investing in a bed frame with built-in storage (or a second mattress!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trundle bed is a hidden mattress built into another piece of furniture like a regular bed, daybed, or sofa. While a trundle fits perfectly underneath when not in use, it easily pulls out to accommodate guests at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you have no need for a trundle, consider buying a daybed with a storage compartment or pull-out drawer hidden underneath. You can always cover the extra storage with a bed skirt for a more polished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Relaxing Swing Daybeds for Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What if you could combine the charm of a porch swing with the warmth of a bed? Swinging daybeds are ideal for any outdoor space where practicality and comfort are equal priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like a traditional daybed you\u2019d find in a living room or spare bedroom, this furniture can be used in several ways. There\u2019s no need to choose between having an outdoor space built exclusively for entertaining or for relaxing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill your swing daybed with a variety of bolsters and pillows for maximum comfort. As always, choose a mattress cover and cushions that can stand up to both rain and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Luxurious Upholstered Daybeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We tend to associate dual-purpose furniture with cheap or transient design. But that doesn\u2019t need to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Upholstered

If you want your guest room to have a luxurious aesthetic, consider investing in an upholstered daybed or trundle. While many upholstered daybeds have a feminine appearance, you can also choose from textiles like suede or leather for a more masculine look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of looking stylish, an upholstered twin daybed is about as close to a \u201creal\u201d sofa as one can get. There\u2019s zero need to pile tons of pillows on top to hide the frame underneath. Guests won\u2019t even notice that your living room seating doubles as a bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Vintage Daybeds for a Classic Touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daybeds pair well with vintage decor. Whether your home is inspired by the Victorian Era or mid-century modern design, skip the double bed and go with a stylish daybed instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you struggling to find a daybed that fits your vintage aesthetic? With a little DIY handiwork, you can easily convert an antique sofa into a fully functional daybed frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, you should look for a vintage sofa that will fit a traditional twin mattress. But you can always order a custom mattress pad in a pinch. Either way, just swap out the original cushions for your mattress and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Sturdy and Chic Wood Daybeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary furniture designers are catching on to the demand for highly functional yet stylish pieces. You won\u2019t have to go far to find a classy wood daybed that suits your spare bedroom or home office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden daybeds often borrow trends from traditional bed frames. Right now, ornately carved panels and light stains are incredibly popular. But you\u2019ll also find many timeless styles featuring clean lines and rich hardwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing is true: You\u2019ll have a hard time finding a sturdier material. Even basic plywood offers a supportive mattress platform that will last for years. So if you\u2019re searching for a daybed frame that will stand up to daily use, look no further than solid wood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
