Some of my favorite daybeds are shown below.  Sleek and Modern Rustic Charm Using different materials and styles, daybeds can be made to blend with the rest of the room or stand out on it's own.  Leather & Wood Mid-Century Style An extremely functional piece of furniture, the daybed can also make a design statement and can be easily used to create a focal point.
