Vintage Inspired Daybed
A vintage inspired daybed can be the perfect solution when you need extra sleeping accommodations for guests! It serves double duty as both a bed and a sofa.

Sunroom charm
The sunroom at the back of our home is my favorite space! The wall of windows
overlooks the lush backyard. There's a fireplace, which makes for extra
coziness during the winter. A sunroom is a charming space and with my love of
vintage cottage style, I'm infusing this space with as much charm and cottage
appeal as it can hold!
We put a lot of work into this space since moving in. If you missed any of our
sunroom projects, you can catch up below:
Create a cozy guest space with a daybed
As summer approached and we found ourselves anticipating the arrival of our
oldest son and other family, we realized we needed to do something about the
bedding situation in our home!
We live in a home that's about 2800 sq feet...certainly not small by any
means! But we only have 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms are all huge, but that
doesn't help when you need more of them!
That led us to the decision to purchase a daybed for the sunroom...extra
sleeping.
After scouring the internet for a great deal on a vintage-looking iron daybed,
I purchased this one. It
had all that vintage charm that I was looking for! It arrived quickly and my
son and daughter set it up for me. The daybed is sturdy and well-made, but
best of all, it looks like a genuine antique with those gorgeous spindles! I
could have purchased the same bed with a
trundle, for even more
guests. Here's how the daybed looked after we set it up and before the
mattress arrived.
I purchased a
memory foam twin sized mattress and
new cotton sheets
from Target.
Styling a daybed as a sofa
I didn't want the daybed to look like a bed! It will function as a sofa most
of the time, so I dressed it with a king size
white cotton quilt, and
then layered on a ton of pillows both for comfort and support.
The decorated daybed is such a comfy spot and become a favorite place to
relax! Millie and I have already had a few naps on it! It took her a couple
days to get up the courage to jump onto it, but she has mastered that now 😍
And bonus...it's another cozy spot to collect pillows 😃
This pretty daybed is charming, spacious and extremely comfortable! Give me a stack of magazines and endless snacks and I will never leave this spot! In fact, next time Mr DIY snores, this is where I'll be!
This is one purchase I don't think I'll ever regret. It has been bonus sleeping space when guests visit, but is used on the daily because it's large and comfortable.
