The Modernist:
If your preference is for a classic look with ultra-clean lines, presumably, you don’t shy away from being labeled a Modern design lover. However, this moniker also is rooted in a certain classicism. For this London apartment, Russian interior designer Alexander Kozlov, as a case in point, anchored this stately room with a modern interpretation of a daybed sofa. This daybed – oval-shaped with a truncated backrest and globe-style pillows – perfectly channels a modern yet classic style.

The Boho Beau:
Daybedding, as a verb in more modern times, recalls the relaxed lifestyle of the elegant hippies a la Talitha Getty.

These days the spirit lives on through Bo-Bos, which the French like to call them. The name implies a mix of Bougeouis and Bohemians hence Bo-Bo aka Rich Hippies. American artist Brice Marden and his wife Helen perfect the daybed sofa in their “villa” on the Hudson River.
The Outdoor Life:
You don’t have to profess a love for camping or hiking through the woods to be considered the outdoorsy type. In fact, plenty who reside in warm tropical regions do so for the benefit of spending a majority of life outdoors. Subsequently, a patio, deck, or porch outfitted in the furniture to fully enjoy it is a given. For this reason, a daybed for lounging away in the sun, shade, or moonlight is in order.
