Gray Contemporary Daybeds For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of gray contemporary daybeds for sale on 1stDibs. The range of distinct gray contemporary daybeds — often made from fabric, metal and steel — can elevate any home. Gray contemporary daybeds are generally popular furniture pieces, but Modern, Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Large gray contemporary daybeds can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller gray contemporary daybeds available at 1stDibs — each spanning 15.75 inches in width — may make for a better choice. BassamFellows, Capital Studio and Joanina and David Pastoll each produced beautiful gray contemporary daybeds that are worth considering.

How Much are Gray Contemporary Daybeds?

Gray contemporary daybeds can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price at 1stDibs is $7,198, while the lowest priced sells for $784 and the highest can go for as much as $107,929.

Finding the Right Daybeds for You

An antique or vintage daybed is a practical solution for furnishing any modest-sized bedroom or guest room and can even be a versatile option for the reading nook in your living room.

Daybeds, which traditionally comprise a simple three-sided frame and twin-size mattress or boxy foam cushion, have a long history that dates back at least to the early Greeks and Romans. The spare construction and multipurpose nature of these multifunctional marvels — they’re not loveseats, sofas or chaise longues, but each share some commonalities — have over time rendered them an easy and often essential piece of seating.

All manner of daybeds have materialized over the years. There are ornate, unconventional versions created in the Louis XV, Art Deco and Empire styles, while popular mid-century modern iterations include the Barcelona daybed, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, as well as the Nelson daybed, which architect George Nelson created for Herman Miller in the 1940s. But you don’t have to limit yourself to one of the classics.

Variations on the daybed have been developed all over the world, and contemporary examples come in all shapes, upholstery options and sizes. (They’re no longer limited to twin size.) No matter what style you choose, this luxury furnishing ensures that you don’t have to wait until nighttime to start dreaming.

On 1stDibs, find a cozy collection of antique, new and vintage daybeds today.
