Iron bed frames pair well with many wall colors.
Many people love the look of iron furniture but are stumped when it comes to choosing a wall color to go together with the furniture. An iron bed can vary from a silvery color to painted irons to black wrought iron, which can make choosing paint even more difficult. Fortunately, several color combinations blend well with iron furniture. Does this Spark an idea?
Cool Shades
Iron frames often come in shades of black, gray and silvery metallic tones. With these tones, you can choose to use cooler shades on the walls. This includes shades of blue, green and purple. With a shiny, chromelike finish on the iron, consider using a shade of light gray or smoky blue on the walls. Meanwhile, matte finishes could look fantastic when paired with a shade of lavender, though they can also work well with blues and grays.
Warm Shades
Iron bed frames can also come in warm shades of gold and bronze, so it's only natural to pair the furniture with a wall color that is equally warm. Of course, warm shades do not have to be bright or vivid. A soothing golden beige or a rusty brown are both ideal for use with golden- or bronze-colored iron bed frames. Those who are willing to be more vibrant can consider using autumn colors such as a vivid mustard yellow or bright pumpkin orange.
Neutrals
No matter what color the iron bed, neutral wall colors are always an option. They are functional, easy to work with and often light and airy. When choosing a neutral color, such as beige, be sure to pay attention to the undertones. An iron bed that has a brassy color to it can be downplayed by using a beige with cool undertones, or it can be made a focal point, drawing attention to it by using a beige that features warm, golden undertones. Black iron beds are often easier to work with, as black goes with neutral shades of any color without any hassle or stress.
Bold Colors
Those who are looking to make a statement may wish to consider pairing their iron bed with a bold color. For black iron beds, consider using an eggplant or plum purple, as these pair well and allow both the bed frame and the wall color to stand on their own in the overall design of the room. Other colors, such as brassy iron, can pair well with a bright shade of barn red, though be wary of sunshine yellow as this can create a look that is overdone. For metallic silvers, consider using a bold turquoise like that of the Mediterranean sea, or a grassy green.
