Iron Bed Ideas

Find an iron bed that suits your taste.


Using iron for bed frames is a very popular trend. An iron bed is not only sophisticated in style, it is also very durable and lasts for quite some time, if taken care of properly. Because iron beds vary in style, theme and color, they make a popular choice for people with different tastes. Iron beds are usually made with wrought iron, which has low carbon content, making it strong but also light. Does this Spark an idea?


Gothic Iron Beds


If you are into Gothic architecture, buildings with intricate designs and many pointed arches, invest in an iron bed frame influenced by the Gothic style. The designs should be elegant, with pointed arches or thin spires. You can decide how simplistic or intricate you wish your frame to be. Most Gothic styles feature the head and foot boards with spires.


Canopy Iron Bed


Iron beds with a canopy create feelings of elegance and romance in a bedroom. You can assemble the frame without adding curtains but, if you do, add flowing curtains that fit the color or theme of your room or mood. The curtains hang from the frame and fall to the ground. If you live in a humid climate where insects are inevitable, use a thin, gauze like curtain and tuck it under your mattress at night to protect you while you sleep. A canopy iron bed can be for this purpose or for an aesthetic appeal as well.


Colored Iron Beds


The color of an iron bed is just as important as the design of it. Depending on who the iron bed is for, you can select and choose a colored frame. Most iron beds are black, however some frames come specially designed in specific colors. If you purchase a bed for your child, perhaps a white wrought iron frame is more ideal for her room. If your child is a boy, blue or grey frames may be more fitting for him.


Rounded Iron Beds


The modern approach to an iron bed contains a frame with rounded edges. This iron bed idea may be ideal for those with young children who enjoy running and jumping on the bed. The child has less of a chance to harm himself while playing on his parents' bed. The rounded frame gives a more modern and simple feel. The bed may be the only accessory needed to highlight the entire room.
