Metal bed - a good rest in any interior (23 photos)

Metal interior items were highly valued in the old days and have not lost popularity and relevance today. Excellent combinations of hardness and reliability with grace are the main reasons for the attractiveness of metal furniture and especially beds.

Strength and durability of products is determined by the characteristics of the material, the characteristics of care, their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of metal beds:

• resistance to temperature changes and damage (difficult to scratch or break);
• the ability to withstand significant weight loads - suitable for different categories of customers;
• interior versatility - forged products can fit many styles. Beds with decorative elements made of wood, glass, stone look original. Art forging emphasizes the individual taste of residents;
• environmental friendliness, although for many consumers the naturalness of materials is associated only with wood. However, modern metal furniture made in accordance with all the rules of technological processes is also environmentally friendly. Metal does not collect and does not emit harmful impurities, therefore it is ideal for a bedroom;
• stability - some models are very difficult to budge.

Disadvantages:

• instability to moisture;
• the coldness of the metal - it is unpleasant for some owners to touch cool surfaces.

Design manufacturing options

Modern metal beds are made in two ways. Stamping is a conveyor process for the production of parts. Forging - complex phased work with metal (at high temperatures), requiring professional skills and individual craftsmanship.

Factory bed models

The main material for the manufacture of furniture is iron. Sometimes brass is used - an alloy of copper with zinc. Iron hollow tubes or a steel profile (thickness 1.5-2 mm) are the main materials in the manufacture of factory beds, so a bed with a metal frame is relatively light. Such designs can withstand weight up to 200 kg (an average of two people). Excessive loads can cause bending of parts or damage to furniture.

Forged models

These beds are made primarily by hand. Since the metal is processed at high temperatures, it is able to withstand significant loads. The manufacturing process of forged beds is exclusively manual labor using special tools and fixtures. The style / handwriting of the master is shown in the works and each product is unique.

The cost of beds is determined not only by the method of production. The price is affected by the choice of material used to make the models: copper, cast iron, iron, aluminum.

For external decoration of the product, powder coating technology is used. Thanks to unlimited colors, you can choose a shade for any interior.

Types of Metal Beds

Conventionally, several parameters can be distinguished that will help determine the choice of a suitable bed model.

By owner

Beds are available for children and adults.With adult beds everything is clear (standard length is from 200 cm), but children's models still have an age division: cradle (with the possibility of rocking), for babies from six months old, for preschoolers / schoolchildren (up to 160 cm in length), teenage (less than 190 cm).

By the number of places to sleep

The type of bed is determined by the width of the model: a metal single bed (80-100 cm), double models. From Soviet times, the term "lorry" has remained - models 140-150 cm wide. However, now the definition is more widespread - compact double beds.

As a rule, the model step of a double bed is 20 cm (140 cm, 160 cm, 180 cm, 200 cm). The choice of product should be treated responsibly, as you still have to choose a mattress.

A variety of forms, designs

The most traditional and common form is the rectangular model. Advantages of such beds: it is easy to choose furniture for any interior, many manufacturers, various costs (handmade products with complex patterns are not cheaply valued).

Oval and round furniture look unusual. Evaluate the beauty of the design and ease of use is better in large rooms.

Special options are four-poster beds or racks for installing an alcove canopy.

Bunk metal models can be fixed or mobile and are installed in children's rooms.

Headboard Options

This design element can be high, low, solid or openwork. A double bed with a metal headboard can have one solid headboard or two independent parts.

Fixed headboards are one with the bed. Hinged elements are mounted on the wall above the bed and are more important as a decorative element.

Metal bed in the interior

In order for the bed to look organically in the interior, it is advisable to think over the style of the room in advance, imagine the model in the room, its combination with decor, wall decoration.

Harmony of metal in the bedroom

Metal beds are self-contained furnishings. However, to create a holistic environment, it is advisable to use additional forged elements or some design techniques:

• a forged chest will perfectly cope with the duties of a familiar chest of drawers, which is especially true for oriental, Arab interiors;
• pouf with metal decor perfectly complement the decor of the bedroom in a classic style;
• lamps with wrought iron bases installed on bedside tables or mounted on walls will create an interesting “ensemble” with beds;
• non-standard solution - repetition of forging patterns in interior items, for example, on mirrored doors of a built-in wardrobe;
• shod frames for mirrors, candlesticks, hangers will emphasize the mood of the room.

Forging in the setting

It is just to the touch the metal is cold. Thanks to skillful artisans and creative designers, special and unique room interiors are created using forged products. Metal beds fit perfectly into different styles.

Most organically forging emphasizes the Provence style. Lightness will be given to a romantic interior by a bed with a headboard having smooth lines of drawing. A combination of forging and vintage or country design styling is also considered traditional and popular.

A canopy or canopy bed is the main detail of the oriental interior. For a low wide model, only a curly headboard can be installed. Beautiful carpets, a combination of shades of gold, ivory, purple will also give the bedroom an oriental luxury. Exquisite design will not leave anyone indifferent. Bronze and copper items (vases, chests) will make the room cozy. Carved wrought iron lamps give the bedroom a mysterious atmosphere thanks to the play of light and shadow.

Rectangular beds with chrome / matte finish will be relevant in minimalist style bedrooms. Moreover, the head should have simple shapes (no patterns).Models with wooden elements will be appropriate.

The manufacturing technology of furniture allows you to embody any shapes / patterns for legs, backs / headboards. If the bed is purchased for the finished interior, then the area and style, the decoration of the room are taken into account. When considering the situation from scratch, you can dream up with a combination of metal furniture and interesting design solutions.
