For centuries, wrought iron has been a preferred material for various forms of decor in the home. Some like it simply for the quiet elegance of the metal, while others enjoy the simplicity. Wrought iron can be extremely versatile, which is quite possibly the overall reason for its popularity. When you are looking for wrought iron home decorations, you should consider the history of its use in the home and determine in what ways you'd like to incorporate the hard metal into your decor.
For the most part, wrought iron has maintained value mainly for wrought iron beds or on the patio in wrought iron outdoor furniture or fencing . Patio furniture has long incorporated wrought iron into the building of bases, and even much yard decor has been formed of wrought iron. Also, in the bedroom, metal bedroom sets have become a dominant material, with wrought iron being the most common choice. In children's rooms, the metal day bed has become a fixture, especially for young girls who wish to have a feminine style without the gaudy feminine designs of the past. The new feminine minimalist design is clearly present in wrought iron day beds, which don't incorporate any "girly" colors and are sleek and basic in design.
Iron Frame Beds
Aside from these wrought iron creations, even trundle beds for kids have come to use wrought iron as a material. Because trundle beds can't have large, intricate designs, the small, simple style of wrought iron is one material that can add a little decorum to a trundle bed.
In retrospect, perhaps part of the reason that wrought iron became so popular over time was the abundance of materials and the minimal cost of the product. Unlike wood beds, an iron and metal bed is extremely inexpensive, probably because wrought iron is in plentiful supply. Discount metal beds have become a great choice for individuals and families on a budget who still desire to have a nice, notable pattern of design within the home. Between wrought iron beds and accents, you can create an ultra contemporary design based on the history of wrought iron, using it in places that it would have been used in ages past.
Wrought iron formed feet for the tubs in which people bathed, so mimic the design in your furniture, choosing pieces with wrought iron feet and accents. Frames for mirrors and portraits were just as often formed from wrought iron as from wood, so follow the trend, knowing that the wrought iron frame will last longer anyway. Most of all, use wrought iron in your bedroom, opting for a wrought iron headboard or a whole bed of the material.
Wrought iron has never lost popularity throughout the centuries, and while the design idea seems to pop up more often during brief periods of history, the only real trend is that almost everyone has something made of wrought iron in their home, even if it's just a set of candle holders. This pattern will continue, with wrought iron always being a safe material to assume others like.

Black Friday Heavenly 4-Post Canopy Overview
Mulitfunctional Net Bed CanopyBlack Friday Heavenly 4-Post Canopy Specifications
This bed canopy adds a romantic touch to any bedroom without seeming overly feminine. Four sheer panels of 100-percent polyester mesh suspend from the ceiling or hang from a four-poster bed, cascading a filmy sheath of fabric around the bed's corners. To appease the man of the house, panels are a straight, masculine cut without any lacy or delicate flourishes. The canopy fits over beds of any size, from twin to king, and the bottom either drapes along the floor or ties up at each corner to shorten the length. In addition to its decorative appeal, this canopy also serves as a functional mosquito net, providing a peaceful night's sleep in hot and humid climates. Dry cleaning is recommended as the most thorough and easy cleaning method for the canopy; however, it is possible to hand wash the canopy in cold water and dry it flat. --Cristina VaamondeSAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
