Wrought Iron: A Simple, Strong, and Beautiful Addition to Any Modern Home

 

Wrought iron is a classic accent that has been used to beautify homes for centuries. The strong and simple elegance of wrought iron is a wonderful addition to any modern home. It can be incorporated into home design in many different ways.

 

A Masculine Addition To Any Design

 

Wrought iron is considered to be masculine from a design standpoint. It is a great way to add depth and balance to a home. Wrought iron works well with both light and dark palettes, and can be incorporated into most modern home designs.

 

Because it is fabricated by welding, wrought iron has a strength beyond that of most construction materials. Wrought iron also adds a dramatic finish to exposed beams and ceilings.

 

Wrought Iron Railing Are Strong And Supportive

 

Wrought iron railings are durable and can be fabricated in many beautiful designs. These types of railing have been a popular choice in home design not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because of their strength.

 

Railings of all kinds can be done in wrought iron. Staircases, landings, and decks are just some of the places we are seeing more wrought iron in modern homes. Entry gates in wrought iron make a rich and dramatic statement. They are impressive, add great appeal, and are quality security features.

 

Showcase Natural Woods And Make Them Stand Out

 

There is something so striking about the combination of wood and iron. Accenting a wooden gate with large wrought iron hinges and handles gives the gate new depth and beauty.

 

Staircases are also an excellent place where wrought iron and wood can be combined to create eye-grabbing features in modern architecture.

 

Wrought iron décor items make the richness of wood stand out beautifully. A couple of small sculptural pieces on a wooden mantle or floor will bring attention to the natural beauty of the grain.

 

 

Furniture For Both Outside And Inside Of The Home

 

Wrought iron furniture finds a fitting home in modern architecture. It has always been a popular choice for exterior design, but is being incorporated more into interior design as well.

 

Wrought iron patio furniture and trellises are used as focal points in outdoor landscaping, and the same can be done inside. Wrought iron in a modern kitchen or any room is quite striking. Tables, chairs, and beds can all be found in unique wrought iron designs.

 

Find Functionality With Wrought Iron Fixtures

 

Wrought iron lighting fixtures are dramatic and beautiful. From sconces to chandeliers, lighting fixtures are a functional way to bring wrought iron into a home.

 

Some designers like to showcase the entry of a home with an impressive chandelier. The theme is easily carried through a home by using wrought iron lighting fixtures in the dining room, hallways, and kitchen. Impressive outdoor fixtures and light posts can light the way for visitors to your doorstep.

 

Wrought iron is a simple, strong, and beautiful addition to a modern home. It is a great way to add appeal and value to your house and property.

I miss seeing old  wrought iron staircases and fences.  We have a lot of cheesy white aluminium in this area.

Hi Lisa - I'm changing my front interior stairs to wrought iron - LOVE the look - so I completely agree with you.

 

Hi Chris - I think as the white aluminium get damaged (and it does quickly) wrought iron might start to replace?  That is what happened in my surrounding towns...and the economy is slowly picking up - homeowners are making improvement to their homes now.
