Wrought iron has been around for centuries and reached its zenith of popularity in the 1800s, when it was used for everything from warships ( remember Old Ironsides?) to fence railings and more.
It is a form of iron that is tough and durable and also highly malleable under heat and therefore easy to work and shape into anything the mind can conceive. Did you know that the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France is constructed from a form of wrought-iron known as puddled iron? So as you can see, there is a long and distinguished history to this versatile metal, from construction to wrought-iron decor in the home!
No doubt you will have seen elegant wrought fencing - this is generally used around the front of a home, not only for its use as an element of security but also because it is a visually pleasing element in landscape architecture. Wrought iron can also double as a security measure at windows and doors, while presenting a classic simplicity and grace as a design element.
Wrought iron decor can be used to great effect as a means of dressing up an otherwise humdrum interior design scheme in your home.
Many people use baker's racks or pot racks as part of the wrought-iron decor in their home. These have the added advantage of being eminently practical as well as decorative. If you dislike black, which is the most common color for wrought iron, then you can have your wrought-iron object painted or powder coated to match your chosen color scheme. Really, the only limit to use of wrought iron is one's imagination, and it can add so much interest to your home, why wouldn't you want to use it?
A few examples of the use of wrought iron decor include those mentioned previously, as well as tables, chairs, lamps, coat racks, fireplace screens, and irons...even as a headboard for your bed! This is one of the most versatile materials for home decor that is available on the market today.
You can often find craftsmen skilled in making wrought-iron products, and have items custom made to your own specifications. Deciding to invest in this elegant, versatile and durable material can be one of the smartest home decorating decisions you will ever make - so get started on the path to wrought iron today. Your home will be beautiful and you will be delighted with the results!
