I’m kind of in love with metal beds these days. I came across an old antique iron bed a few years ago at a local store. I loved the lines of it but it needed a little love. It was an ugly yellow color, which I needed to change. I decided to paint it a antique golden shade, which was really quite easy. There is something so classic about an antique wrought iron bed that evokes such a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
I have been toying around with the idea of putting one in my bedroom. I just have to convince the hubby, which will not be easy. He is still in love with our current bed, which I love too. I am just a bit more flexible when it comes to change. Here are a few that I have come across lately.

So, lets talk about wrought iron beds:
Did you know that wrought iron and brass beds were invented in the 17th century?! I had no idea! They have been around a long time! They were introduced as a way to prevent the infestation of lice and bed bugs! What! That is so crazy. It wasn’t until after World War 1 that metal beds began being made in mass production. Before this they were all handmade. They were made by hand pouring and polishing intricately detailed castings. They are now made with heavy gauge metal tubing.
I can imagine that the mass production capabilities completely changed the production of wrought iron beds. And today we reap the benefits! And if you are afraid of lice and bed bugs, I guess iron beds are the way to go!
- How do you choose the right metal bed?
Well, there are a few things to take into account. You want to look for something that is first, well built.
Wrought iron beds can take a lot more abuse than most other bed frames. If you choose one that is well built and a heavier metal, you will get a ton of life out of it…just like we are with my daughters.
- What finish should I choose?
There are a few different colors and options when you are looking at wrought iron beds. But, they usually keep the options simple. Black, white and sometimes a oil rubbed or antique metal finish will be an option. Choosing the right one for your home is up to you. If you want something classic, the black metal bed is the perfect way to go. However, I do love the white, this is a choice if you want it to stand out less.
- How much do I want to spend on my wrought iron bed?
I cant believe how big of a range there is on prices for metal beds. I think if you want to make an investment in a bed that you will use for years and years to come, spend a little bit more. But, there are so many good wrought iron beds for sale that you can find one in your price range that wont break the bank.
