  1. Dimensions. Its size, shape and appearance, the material of the frame and base design.
  2. If your attention was attracted by a wrought-iron bed at an extremely low price, do not rush to purchase it. Low cost should alert you immediately, because the price of the product should include the cost of the material and the work of the master and therefore really high-quality metal beds are always expensive.
  3. Pay attention to the elements of the bed - they should be solid, not hollow. Especially if you want the interior of the bedroom to decorate a real wrought-iron bed, and not a bed of metal tubes. If you cannot see what the bed is made of, rely on information about its weight and durability. Too light a bed will tell you that it is made of tubes, it is unlikely to withstand serious weight, and will not serve you as long as real wrought-iron furniture.
  4. Also before buying it is worth assessing the stability of your future bed. That is why before purchasing move the selectable bed,Sit on it or even lie down to determine if a given bed is creaking, if it really is as strong as the seller is writing. Places of all connections should be inspected to see for yourself - all fastenings are solid and reliable.

Beautiful bedroom interior design

When choosing a stylish and original wrought bed, be sure to consider the size of the room where you install it:

  • In a small-sized bedroom or a room with a narrow space, in addition to the wrought-iron bed, it is better to use a small amount of pieces of furniture. The excessive presence of forged elements can put a lot of pressure on the owners of the dwelling, transforming a stylish bed into a kind of clutter of grids. In this case, it is better to paste over a small bedroom with light wallpaper, but then the bed should also be light or ocher in color.
  • If you want to equip a romantic bedroom, you should choose a metal bed that will have a headboard with smooth accents, floral patterns. Also here it is best to look a little muted light, not giving any accents and creating a kind of natural light.
  • Pay special attention to textiles. Very often, designers refuse a wrought bed in the interior, considering that it will turn a room into too cold and even an official room, forcing other elements of decor into the background. In this case, the fabric in the decor of the room with a wrought-iron bed will help smooth out its most stringent lines. Pillows in the ensemble with metal will make the interior of the bedroom more homely and cozy. Colored bedspreads and rugs are suitable for the forged elements of the original metal bed.
  • A metal bed is always perfectly combined with wood - the elements of such a bed are suitable for rooms in the national style. The wrought-iron bed will fit into a tandem with expensive and massive furniture from natural wood, having a noble color. For a modern bedroom, a single-color neutral background color and an openwork ornament that will repeat the interlacing of branches and bends at the head of the bed will be a good solution.
