Wrought iron bed in the interior of a modern bedroom

One of the oldest technologies for the artistic processing of metals has been continued in modern furniture production. Without exaggeration, we can say that the most common piece of furniture made by forging are beds. Luxurious and durable, durable, but at the same time elegant, wrought iron beds can bring elegance and chic to even the most ordinary interior. There is an opinion that wrought-iron beds are only suitable for classic interior decoration styles. Let's try to debunk this myth by the example of a large-scale selection of photos with modern design projects of bedrooms, the central element of which is a forged bed.

In the skilled hands of the master, such a solid and durable material as iron can turn into lace lace, a light (but only visually) product for decorating the interior. It is noteworthy that in the case of wrought iron beds, the furniture fulfills its functions by 100%, but at the same time brings European aristocracy to the image of the room, instantly becoming an accent of the interior that attracts all eyes.

For many of us, forged products are associated with the decoration of the palace, the rich dwellings of representatives of the nobility. But in the modern world, there are a lot of options for arranging a bedroom in a home of the most diverse modifications. The wrought-iron bed can organically fit into the neo-classic interior or make an accent in the ultramodern design of the sleeping space.

Modern manufacturers (and custom-made craftsmen of wrought iron beds) offer us a wide selection of models. Depending on the atmosphere in which it is necessary to fit the main piece of bedroom furniture, you can choose a bed with many delicate weaves and wrought-iron decor, or a model with a laconic design, a minimal set of decorations that can become part of a modern interior. You can also find beds, the manufacture of which used a combination of wrought iron with other materials (most often wood).

Forged bed is the undisputed leader in its segment. It is currently the popularity of this type of furniture reaches its peak. Against the backdrop of a quick change of scenery, high-speed pace of life, many citizens want to fully feel the comfort and tranquility of their own homes. The smooth curves of the forged products, ornate curls and the finest lace of the forged decor can not only bring harmony to the interior of the bedroom, but also create an absolutely unique atmosphere. Whether it will be a luxury of the Middle Ages or a creative understanding of the present - it is up to you to decide whether a bed with a forged frame can be found on any of the options for creating the interior.

In addition to incredible aesthetic qualities, forged products have quite practical advantages. Strong and durable furnishings can last you for many years, become a family heirloom and passed from generation to generation. Environmentally friendly material is not able to harm humans or the environment. Children and allergy sufferers can use forged products without any risk (you only need to make sure that there is no toxicity of the paint on which the surfaces are coated). Shod beds are safe and reliable, possess high fire-fighting qualities. Among other things, forged beds are not deformed and are highly moisture resistant.

Hand forged art simply cannot be cheap. Therefore, the cost of wrought-iron beds is significantly higher than analogues from particleboard or fiberboard. When creating forged products, craftsmen can use two methods of metal processing:

• hot;
• cold.

A hot method of processing the material involves heating the raw material to 600-700 degrees. Hard and durable metal becomes ductile, able to take the most intricate forms. During hot forging, both hand tools and a machine hammer are used - it is necessary for the formation of curved parts. Cast elements are made under the press - monograms, leaves and flowers.

The second method of processing metal is called cold, because it is carried out using a stamping machine. Because of this, the second name of this method appeared - stamping. Using a stamping machine allows you to significantly reduce the cost of not only the production process, but also the final cost of finished products. Cold forged parts are available to a wider range of customers.

Whatever way the furniture is made, after all metal processing is completed, the surfaces are primed and coated with powder paint. The models with the so-called effect of antiquity are in great demand. Slightly rough surfaces with intentionally not stained parts look great in the interior of the style of shabby chic, Provence, vintage. The effect of antiquity can only be achieved by manually painting the surfaces of forged products.

Designers use wrought iron beds in various stylistic directions of bedroom interior decoration. In classic rooms, the wrought iron bed with rich decor adds a touch of luxury and respectability, brings country coziness to the country style, in the framework of the romantic style and Provence, the graceful curves of the forged headboards add softness and lightness to the image of the room, the aged surfaces of metal products organically fit into the style of shabby chic.

Obviously, any classic style is perfect for using a wrought-iron bed as a central piece of furniture for your bedroom. But the “modernized”, adapted version of the classic for wrought iron beds is great. A neo-classic bedroom will benefit from the use of forging in the frame and / or the head of the bed. At the same time, there is no need to use very expensive models with many decorative elements forged by hand.

For a country style (almost any of its varieties), wrought-iron beds with minimal decor are perfect. In combination with the wooden surfaces, which this style of design of living quarters is famous for, the metal looks excellent, adding a touch of coolness to the warm atmosphere of the room. To design a sleeping place, organized on a wrought iron bed, in this case, checkered fabrics, a small flower or plain options of natural cotton, linen are suitable.

In a modern style of design of a sleeping space forged beds with a simple design look organically. Reliability and durability of a piece of furniture, its practicality and durability perfectly fit into the aesthetics of modern style with its functionality and love of laconicism. The simple design of the wrought iron bed can be used in the Scandinavian style, even for such a difficult style as minimalism, you can find a suitable model for a berth with a metal frame.

A bed with ornate wrought-iron decor is an ideal choice for a berth for a romantic style of interior decoration. Metal lace will perfectly combine with the romance of the sleeping space, expressed in delicate colors, nice fabrics, delicate decor.

For the Shebby chic style, the wrought iron bed is just a godsend. After all, a metal piece of furniture is best associated with family values, interior elements that are passed down from generation to generation. The bed may have a patina, slightly peeling paint or not be painted at all - for the style of "shabby chic" such an appearance will come in handy.

Forged bed in white is a universal option for various styles in interior design. Even for children's rooms, whose style can not always be determined exactly, such a piece of furniture will not only not spoil, but also decorate. The snow-white design of the bed can be used to create a harmonious atmosphere in the same light color palette of the room decoration or play in contrast by placing it against a bright or dark surface.

The situation is similar with wrought-iron beds in black. Such a piece of furniture instantly becomes the center of attraction of all glances, because the decoration of sleeping rooms is mainly done in bright, pastel colors. To create a harmonious image of the sleeping space, designers recommend duplicating the black color in any element of the interior - the design of a lighting fixture, wall decor, textile or carpet patterns.

The wrought-iron bed in itself attracts glances, often becoming the focal point of the interior. A piece of furniture painted in a bright color is completely “doomed” to be in the spotlight. Often, the design of a bedroom is enough for one such piece of furniture that not only create a color accent and add variety to the room's palette, but also create a non-trivial image of the bedroom.

Forged bed painted in dark or bright color, can become an accent element of the interior. Moreover, the sleeping segment almost always occupies a central place in the room and inevitably attracts all eyes. But often, the owners want to create a harmonious picture of the sleeping space, in which the bed, if it acts as a focal point, is combined with other elements of the interior. So, with what can a piece of furniture made of forged metal be combined?

One of the common options for combining bed materials with other interior items is combinatorics with the design of bedside tables. Repeating the forged decor on the head of the bed (and at the foot of the bed) in the design of tables or whatnots, you can achieve harmony not only in the image of the sleeping segment, but also in the entire interior as a whole.

The second, no less popular option is a combination of forging in the execution of the bed with the design of lighting fixtures (central chandelier, wall sconces or table lamps). For the chandelier, imitation of forging is often used - plastic elements are coated with a special paint, sometimes artificially aged (surfaces can imitate patina).

Another way to create a harmonious image of a sleeping room is to combine forging on the frame and the head of the bed with curtain rods. Even without repeating the decorative elements in the design of window openings, only thanks to the material and the colors of the forged products, it is possible to create not only organic, but also original images of the bedrooms.
