While we love bed niches, not all of us have the option of creating one in our home. A stand-alone option with a similar enclosed feel is a canopied daybed:
With four posts and a overhead canopies, these daybeds could free-float in the middle of a large space or create a sleeping "room" in a small studio apartment.

Hmmm, $9,000? I have been searching far and wide for a DIY daybed. Please find someone who knows how to build one! Thanks.

There's something vampirish about the first photo (maybe the tombstone-shaped headboards have something to do with it?). I generally like canopies and clean brightness, but here, all that white cloth seems eerily shroudlike and funereal.
Aren't the beds in the first photo just canopied beds, not daybeds? I thought daybeds were usually placed lengthwise . These obviously have headboards at the head.
