Beach Theme Daybed Covers

Keep that peaceful seaside vacation feeling close by with a beach theme daybed cover. For many people, there is no more relaxing place to be than sitting on a beach by the roaring ocean, but of course pesky things like work and family life tend to get in the way of spending all of your time at that dream destination. But, if you can’t be by the beach all of the time, that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the beach to you through some clever home décor choices. One way to bring the sites of the beach into your home is with a beach theme daybed cover.

First things first – what exactly is a daybed? A daybed is part sofa, part bed, similar to a futon. You can prop up the back and use a daybed as a sitting area in your bedroom or even in your living room, and then you drop the back down so it lays flat, so the daybed can be used like a regular bed. Daybeds are popular pieces of furniture because of their dual use potential, and they are especially popular for small rooms and apartments, however, a daybed can work in any setting. Handily enough, daybeds are also extremely popular in beach houses, so even before you add the cover, a daybed in itself can remind you of a favorite trip to the beach.

When it comes to choosing a daybed cover, the first thing to keep in mind is how your daybed will be used. Do you plan on using it primarily as an extra seating area? If so, then a daybed cover will be the covering that spends the most amount of time on your daybed. If you plan on using you daybed as an actual bed every night, then you will need to look for daybed covers that will look fine whenever you want to use the bed as a sofa but will also transition easily into bedding when it comes time to sleep.

The second consideration you need to keep in mind when choosing a daybed cover is the size. Most daybeds come in one size – 39” x 75” – which is the same size as a standard twin mattress. You can use this size as a standard guide when you are looking for daybed covers – and indeed if you are looking for bedding exclusively, then you can simply buy bedding made for twin beds. If your daybed is of a different size, however, or if you want overhang on the cover you choose, remember to measure and choose accordingly.

Because daybeds are so popular for beach house bedrooms, finding beach theme daybed covers is very easy. In fact, you may be surprised at the extent of the selection available to you. If you are overwhelmed, consider using one of the following themes as your starting point:

• Tropical Style – With a tropical theme in mind, you can look for daybed covers that feature large, tropical flowers, palm trees, parrots, and images of other things you would see in a tropical paradise. The colors used in tropical theme daybed covers should be bright and bold, like the brilliant colors you would see in your favorite island paradise.
• Nautical Styles – Nautical styles can easily be another alternative for beach theme daybed covers. Anchors with ropes and sailboats are de rigueur with nautical themes. You can go for an old fashioned, antiqued nautical theme by using off-white, red, and blue as your colors of choice or go more modern with white, red and blue. This theme works particularly well on a brass daybed.

• Ocean Animals – Of course, daybed covers with fish, octopus, and other ocean animals will bring home the beach theme. These covers are especially good for children’s bedrooms.
