A vastly underutilized powerhouse of style and functionality, the humble daybed can really do it all. A daybed can be a cozy place to relax and unwind, a convenient spare bed for guests, an unconventional alternative to the traditional sofa, a dramatic statement piece.

The more streamlined lounge types keep things simple, lending incredible decorative style. This post highlights a diverse selection of 51 daybeds you can buy right now, something for every room in the home.
