As we could see in the past article, comparing a regular Daybed with a Barcelona Daybed can give us really interesting facts. A regular daybed is great for special spaces like a lounge room, or a family room, where colors and variety are welcome; and if you are fond of decor, you will find this really amusing.

But on the other hand, there will be some costs around. You will have to invest at least in a twin mattress and a set of sheets. Eventually, you will have to buy some replacement or alternative sheets, and some cushions and throws.

All of this, besides the recurrent cost of laundry and cleaning, are elements to be considered if you want a regular Daybed.

Barcelona Daybed (Leather)

The Barcelona Daybed is formed by a series of cushions (72 cushions, to be accurate) supported by a stainless steel frame. The bed itself is leather-upholstered, and that gives the Barcelona Daybed that especial feeling, texture, and comfort of leather.

Soft, shiny, and comfortable, the Barcelona Daybed gives you that feeling of relaxation and luxury that you only get with leather.  Indeed, that leather, black, white, or tan, most of the time, is part of the decor of the room, and part of the charm of this piece of design.  When it comes to maintenance, only a moisturized cloth is enough to clean the leather surface.

Regular Daybed (Bed wear and sheets)

A regular daybed has a twin-size mattress supported by a whole three- side frame. This frame is composed of arms and head top, at the same style as a regular bed. This makes it beautiful and cozy. Nevertheless, a regular daybed never includes the mattress. In consequence, you’ll have to buy it separately.

But you have to take care of the bed wear, too. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. You have the opportunity to play with sheets, and choose different colors and patterns to pair with your family room or lounge.

On the other hand, you’ll have to buy sheets and cushions in a regular way, keeping it in order on a daily basis, just like a regular bed. As you can see then, with a regular daybed, you will have the opportunity to add another layer of decor elements to your room.

We have taken a look at the Barcelona Daybed and the Regular Daybeds, comparing dimensions and materials. Now let’s take a look at the style.

The daybed, in general, is a very sui generis piece of furniture. Neither a bed nor a sofa, somehow it resumes the best of both pieces to whom that are willing to find a piece of relaxing furniture outside the classic bedroom.

But for the same reasons, Daybeds have special some special requests when it comes to decor. A Daybed is not considered as the main focal point of a living room. This space is reserved usually to classic options like a couch or sofa. A Daybed is destined most of the time to spaces like a family room, a large bedroom, a lounge, or a backyard. Is not the case of the Barcelona Daybed, designed precisely to be the center of the room, wherever it is.

This is especially true in the case of regular daybeds. Due to its dimensions and features, Regular Daybeds can be placed better in no conventional spaces, or large living rooms that make enough space to create a separated ambient.  

The Barcelona Daybed, with a sober, minimalist design has the virtue to fit in all spaces, even in classic living rooms, where it fits flawlessly at one side of the traditional combo sofa-loveseat-chair.

So, if you are interested in a Daybed, be sure of review your space/ room options before you make a purchase.

Anger is a bad advisor. It makes you take bad decisions.  Mythological and Biblical are examples of bad consequences. And how is this related to the world of Interior Design? It’s amazing how in little and big things the sin and its consequences are the same. Let’s see.

Thou shall think twice
We all want to see a beautiful house, stylish, clean, and functional.  And we certainly love it when all goes well. A gorgeous velvet sofa is stunning in its very first days, and for some time; but as it usually happens with all types of fabrics, one day one little cut is made by accident, and It may leave some thread of velvet hanging from one arm (At its right side, your  Barcelona Chair, of beautiful black leather, watch the scene aloof).

You can fix that little lose thread right there, with a little intervention, but is not really that urgent in comparison with other issues.  So, you go on with your own business. And so on and so on. This way, time flies.

One day you walk through the living room and find out that the loose thread has left a visible hole, and the arm of your beautiful sofa looks horrible. Terrible.  You feel bad. A mix of emotions crosses for your mind and you finally end feeling anger.  As a result, you make a couple of phone calls and ask an expert to reupholster your sofa.

Apparently you are attacking the problem, somehow and a little late. But the truth is that it wasn’t a good decision. Upholstering is nowadays, almost as expensive as buying new furniture, so maybe your best option was to buy a new sofa instead. If you were attacked the problem in its beginning, simple sewing would work. Now it’s late, and you need to expend almost the same amount of a brand new sofa. When you are pressed by anger, there is not very much room for reasoning.

To avoid falling in the sin of ANGER, the best thing you can do is to avoid the snowball effect. If you know this is a big issue for you, don’t let your problems accumulate and try to solve them as fast as you can. Don’t let that anger let you make bad decisions. Do a list of all the loose threads your house has hanging around (a room waiting for paint, a leak, a  chair with broken legs), and start to attack them, step by step. The main thing is start.

At the end of the day, relax in your Barcelona Chair, thinking in the accomplishments of the day, and willing to work in the next effort.
