Make a daybed

The daybed is a daybed or rest bed, which can also be called a bench.< /span>

Nathalie wants to dress the glass extension of her house. After several searches for inspiration, she decided to make her own daybed.

@ regardsetmaisons therefore produced 2 daybeds which it installed side by side to create a large bench seat the size of its glass roof. The choice to create 2 daybeds is rather simple for two reasons: the fact that Nathalie's canopy extension is really large, a single daybed would have made the project unstable. Plus, she can move the daybeds to other parts of her house if she wants.

MATERIAL

• 2 boards of 250 cm by 75 cm (here spruce)
• Walnut husk hint of mahogany
• Mattresses
• Cover
• 40 Vis
• 8 Tailor-made thin rectangle: H25 L75 black color
• Screwdriver
• Sanding paper
• Brush

DIY RUN

STEP 0

Make a plan according to what you want for your daybed so that there is harmony with the decoration around it, especially if you have a canopy like Nathalie. This is when you choose the arrangement of the feet as well as the spacing of these according to your board.

Good to know: Nathalie opted for a space of 85 cm between each foot.

STEP 1

Sand and stain the tray, first with Le Broux de Noix, using a brush. It is a natural brown color that hides the defects of the wood. It must be applied in the direction of the wood. All you have to do is wait 2 hours for your boards to be dry.

Tip: Add mahogany to your board to give an exotic wood feel .
