http://decor-ideas.org 12/22/2013 22:40 Decor Ideas
A backless daybed is a beautiful and functional piece. It’s perfect for all kinds of spaces. In the center of a long room, it won’t block the view, and those seated can face either direction. In an office that doubles as a guest room, it can work as seating by day and bed by night. And in a nursery, it’s seating and sleeping in one.
A backless daybed is the definition of a flexible decorating piece. Several of the options listed below are customizable in terms of fabrics or finishes, making them wonderful furnishing design solutions. — Darlene from Fieldstone Hill Design

Marlowe Daybed - $1,399 I like the flared sides on this piece as well as the tone-on-tone pillows. Ready for snuggling, this daybed invites you to stay awhile.

Emmerson Daybed - $1,299 My favorite thing about the Emmerson daybed is the wood structure. I’m picturing this piece on a sitting porch or even in an extra-large foyer.

New Canaan Daybed - $749 Available in several fabric options, this daybed has a great boxy shape that contrasts with the roll pillows. You can opt to add a trundle bed beneath its skirt.

Afton Daybed - $599 For a classic rolled-arm shape but on a more flexible piece, here is the Afton daybed. I think it has a great shape that could tempt even the most traditional decorator to break the rules.

Isabella Right Corner Daybed - $849 Not fully backless — but backless enough to let the eye pass over — this elegant daybed is both simple and stunning. With its tiny back, I think it invites you to really lounge.

Lubi Turquoise Sleeper Daybed - $899 The shrink is in. This gorgeous daybed is perfect for when you are feeling blue. My favorite touch is the movable bolster.

Diandra Daybed - $649 This high-sided daybed has a sleigh-like, romantic look. I like that you could put your feet up, and your back would still be fully supported. It’s great for reading books solo or for reading to a child.

Paramount Daybed, Left - $1,899 Part backless daybed, part sofa, part bed — it doesn’t get much more versatile than this! I love the slender legs, which give it an airy feel. Buy on Houzz

Isabelle Daybed - $1,899 How about a romantic, feminine French daybed with a pin-tuck mattress and a white wooden frame? Details abound on this piece. I would love to see it surrounded by strong, bold colors and furnishings.

Haven Daybed, Cambridge Gray - $1,299 This daybed has a sleek, modern feel, but it’s still inviting. I like the soft gray fabric matched with the white pillows.

6-Foot Field Bench - $3,650 With tufting, slight sides and elegant wooden legs on casters, this piece is not your ordinary daybed. I think it would be lovely as a centerpiece in a long, formal space.

AFK Harrison Bed, Arizona Indigo - $3,155 In bold blue with nailheads, this daybed is not for the faint of heart. As I always say, it takes guts to create beauty. This piece is a gutsy choice that would really make a space.

St. James Panel Daybed - $1,995 The architectural wooden frame makes this daybed a stunner, anything but ordinary. Throw in the fact that the bed has a trundle and supportive sides for reading, and I am tempted to use it in lots of decorating projects.

Eloquence Clignancourt Twin Daybed, Swedish Gray - $2,750 Every home could use a touch of Provence, no? This fantastic piece is long and lean and lovely. I would love to see it with some chartreuse velvet pillows.

Liv Daybed - $1,982 Great for lounging, this simple daybed is customizable in different fabrics and finishes. Because it has such a simple shape, I would go bold with the fabric choice.

Night and Day Convertible Sofa, Green - $649 This amazingly fun piece is part daybed and part sofa — the back comes up if you need more support. I am in love with the color, the tufting and, of course, the flexibility of this piece. It also has a great price tag.

Raleigh Upholstered Daybed - $1,199 Nailhead trim adds a bit of fun to the classic lines of this daybed. With a tucked-in mattress, this particular piece feels more like a bed to me, so I think it lends itself more to a fantastic nursery or multipurpose guest room.

Calloway Brown Linen Daybed - $1,775 I love this pretty daybed for many reasons. I think it would be just as at home in the living room as it would be in a bedroom. I also love the flowing linen and the higher arms for support. The thick pillows are a plus.

Chesterfield Daybed - $1,895 A chesterfield — in a daybed. For chesterfield fans everywhere who would love to have a more open and versatile piece, this is your answer. I love its sophistication.

Ida Daybed - $1,585 Customizable, this fantastic daybed features a gorgeous design on the arms. I have loved this piece for a while now, and I am itching to use it in a project.
