Convenient and inviting, daybeds are a dual functional bedroom furniture item that suits well in a variety of homes. No longer limited to bedrooms alone, daybeds can also be used as lounge couches for living rooms and dens. Beautifully styled, daybeds now feature different options as opposed to just adding and taking out pillows. Extra storage space, pop-up trundles and canopies add delightful visuals to the daybed.
Underbed storage is a popular option that many consumers purchase after finding that more space is needed for extra accessories such as linens, pillowcases and blankets. Some daybeds fortunately, come with underbed storage included in the package. Other daybeds even offer a shelving unit in place of drawers for other personal effects such as shoes or reading literature.
Metal Frame Daybeds
Pop-up trundle beds are popular among children's beds, making daybeds that feature this option ideal for younger kids. Ideal for sleepovers for your children, or even for visiting relatives, trundles are easy to use and conveniently stay under the daybed until needed. What's also convenient about the pop-up trundle option is that you can use the trundle itself as an ottoman where you can put your feet up when reading the paper, enjoying your favorite show on television, or even as an alternate table.
Adding a canopy to a daybed can be a tricky feature, but if done correctly, it will add a charming appearance. Usually available for metal frame daybeds, be sure to keep in mind that adding a canopy over your daybed may make it look a bit too feminine or like a bassinette. In which case, opt for simpler, geometric canopy shapes that allow you to gracefully hang the drapery or tie them off when unneeded. However, if you are looking for a more classical appearance, a curved canopy frame will suffice.
As an updated furniture piece, daybeds have taken a contemporary route in design and functionality, adding to its popular resurgence. Especially perfect for smaller homes but fitting well in even the largest living space, daybeds are a versatile furniture item that anyone can truly appreciate.
