13 Reasons Why You Should Invest In a Daybed

If you ask us, daybeds can be wildly underrated. More often than not, they’re reserved for the small-space: a compromise for the studio lacking enough square footage for both a sofa and a bed. With this in mind, we set out to prove that this misunderstood piece deserves a spot in your home, not as a last-resort, but as an accent piece that can make your decor scheme. Here’s what we found.

We love daybeds for their sheer versatility. Pair a colorful pad with an eclectic variety of prints and textures, to impart the area with a dynamic finish.

Springing for a fresh pair of sofas for the living room can run on the pricey side, so substitute in a daybed instead! Think of it as a starter set that’s just as functional as the real thing. The bonus? It’ll be significantly more spacious, and versatile enough for you to move and store elsewhere when you’re ready to splurge on the sofa of your dreams.
