Top Tips: Make the Most of Your Space with a Daybed

Daybeds with their perfect combination of form and function add style and versatility to any room. Ideal for making the most of dorm rooms, studio apartments or homes with space issues, the daybed functions as a stylish sofa by day and a comfortable bed by night, adding extra punch to your décor – compact living or not.

In the run up to back-to-school, the daybed is a practical piece for budget-conscious students starting college or university looking to add some style to their living quarters. Transform a dorm room from bedroom basic to stylish pad by adding a daybed in a colourful fabric piled high with cushions. Daybeds are also great for studio apartments, where there may not be room for a sofa and a bed.
