we found a daybed at ikea that we plan to get for marlee. ?the bedding i like has a definite head end and foot end...would that look odd on a daybed? ?i can't decide.

we have a small house, and this is great b/c it expands to a queen size, so we could use it for guests (and mj can camp w/ us). ?the storage drawers are another plus. ?we really need multi-function!

i thought it was sweet...and cheap! ?i was going to have a quilt made, but it's so pricey. ?i haven't settled on it or anything, i'm just finding that lots of things i see have top and bottom ends.?

I don't think so. I had a daybed growing up. I always made my bed with the pillow at the head end, so I don't think the bedding would make it look weird.?

It wouldn't be really odd - but it wouldn't look as good in my opinion, as something without a top and bottom.

I think it might. ?I would have to see the pattern though.

I'm confused by what you mean exactly......like you can tell the comforter has a top and bottom because of the way it's stitched or because of the pattern?

We are putting a daybed in our guest room. The bedding I'm getting pretty much looks the same all around though (black and white paisley print) and I'm just planning on making throw pillows to go all around the bed so you can't really tell what the top and bottom is. Ours will only be used a few nights a month though, so might be a little more of a a paint to replace all the throw pillows every morning.

I really like that bed! I plan on getting the Hemnes 8 drawer dresser for our nursey! I think it would be better to try to find bedding that maybe is the same all the way around. But I think either way it will still be super cute!?

renee143

yeah, i'm kind of feeling that way too. ?thanks for confirming. ?i'll keep looking.

I think it would be fine, especially if you added throw pillows around the bed.  I'm a total pillow slut, though, so this is totally biased.  But I think that if you found a patterned white bolster to go at the foot, you might get it looking more balanced.

both are very cute

I don't mind it. ?I think it's natural for even a daybed to have a "head". ?Could you buy a sheet that matches the print at the head and sew a stripe on the foot too to make it symmetrical?
