Glamorous Daybed
Glam meets vintage meets Asian-inspired jungle in this flawless daybed designed by Ben Dhong. There's a lot to admire when taking a first look at this daybed. The ruffled detail in the mattress fabric, the black and gold color scheme, and the de Gournay 'Early View of India' antique wallpaper all come together to set a wild and glamorous scene. We love the way the dramatic daybed resembles a sedan chair an ancient prince would be carried in! This canopy daybed has cosmopolitan luxury dripping all over it, yet it's still timeless-like a piece of treasure found in a secret attic room. Ben's taste and appreciation for shape, patterns, and presentation are displayed impeccably in this San Francisco row house.
Sweet, Southern Living
This daybed design is the essence of Southern living in one photo. Leah Bailey designed this oasis, combining soft and simple elements to create a quiet and serene space for her client in Palmetto Bluff. The combination of the light blue ceiling, the polished wood flooring, and the bronze lantern help tie the space together. But the real highlight of this space is the gorgeous neutral daybed, loaded up with pillows. The individual elements come together and create a space that's perfect for a cozy cup of tea or a heartfelt chat with a loved one.
From sunset to sunrise and everything in between, this patio set and its minimalistic design are breathtaking all day. Like a tall glass of fresh squeezed lemonade, Hannah Crowell's punchy and breezy design at this Inlet Beach home left us calm and refreshed. This daybed is all about the quality, not quantity. Clean and simple organic elements like the dense knotted rope or the plank of wood the mattress lays on are the outstanding components to this clean and spacy daybed. Hannah simplified the patio furniture so it wouldn't be too distracting of the incredible view outside the sitting area. The custom daybed's natural, open-concept was enough reason to have it land on our most beautiful daybeds list.
Charlotte's Web
Sugar, spice, and everything nice is the theme for this gorgeous bedroom by Autumn Clemons. When Autumn's daughter, Charlotte, turned 13, both knew Charlotte's room was ready for a change. Combining Autumn's interior design expertise and Charlotte's inspirations, the finished daybed is nothing short of magical. The room is enveloped in soft shades of white, peach, and mustard. A daybed with a pagoda-inspired headboard is the room's focal point, and her peach canopy adds more layers of softness. Autumn's ultimate goal for this daybed was to create a cozy and elegant place for her daughter to sleep and relax in. Accents like the thin sheers over the window allow plenty of light to shine through, but still offer privacy. And the swinging, metal birds are like a cherry on top of the sundae. Autumn's design came right from the heart and that's why it made our list of most beautiful daybeds.
Indonesian Style
A picture is worth a thousand words, and so is this cozy daybed space designed by Los Angeles designer Betsy Burnham. The daybed frame has a perfect lived-in look, thanks to its weathered details. The vintage Indonesian piece certainly has age but is sturdy, and the hand-crafted architecture reflects its Southeast Asian history. Betsy was sold on its aesthetics, but her challenge was to incorporate it into her home using energizing, colorful fabric without being too trendy. Comfort was also essential in order to create an inviting and functional appeal for the outdoor seating area. The solution? A custom made mattress topped with pillows in an outdoor Perennials fabric. Inspiration for the daybed stemmed from a global mix of culture in many eras including Anglo-Indian, Asian, and English.
Moroccan Style
You don't have to go to Morocco to feel like you're there when your room features El Ramla Hamra handmade Moroccan home accessories. Melanie and Salahdin el Haddad created this gorgeous daybed, which is showered with their vintage North African culture. The style is inspired by a combination of Scandinavian and Mediterranean aesthetics. Moroccan craftsmanship is highlighted in this styled daybed with the bold geometric patterns, which are true to Moroccan art. Balance is key when working with vivid design, which is why the white daybed mattress, sheets, and room interior pose a flawless equilibrium.
Tea Party Chic
A place to dream, a place to imagine, and a place to grow, Leah's new daybed is an ideal space for a young girl looking for a special space of her own. When designing a room for a child, it's important to ensure the space can grow with the child; incorporate elements they love now and pieces that will be in use for years to come. Designer Christine Elliott knows exactly how to encapsulate this delicate balance. Leah, her mom, and Christine fell in love with the fabric and colors of the daybed's canopy, and it easily became the design muse for everything else in the room. Floor area was a vital factor in Leah's space - the daybed is a perfect fit, allowing her to create separate spaces for sleeping and playing in a small space. And lucky for Leah, this daybed was made for sleepovers thanks to its trundle bed.
