Cherished for centuries, the timeless industrial beauty and remarkable functionality of wrought-iron furniture and accessories make them a winner across design aesthetics. The intricate designs and durable nature of wrought iron make it a popular choice to enhance both indoor and outdoor spaces. Exploring the charm, adaptability and versatility of wrought iron will take you on a decor journey that includes furniture, mirrors, lanterns, and obelisks. 

The mention of wrought iron as a design option conjures up images of Parisian cafés and Tuscan Juliette balconies. From balustrades to chandeliers to candelabras and bird feeders, it is a rugged and robust material that transforms spaces into the perfect blend of rustic and sophisticated romance. 

Dating back to medieval times, wrought iron furniture has a rich history. Skilled blacksmiths handcrafted each piece, giving it an artisanal touch that mass-produced items can never replicate. The ornate detailing celebrates craftsmanship, dedication and passion.  

An all-rounder for all spaces

The balanced juxtaposition of pairing a more ‘masculine,’ minimalistic medium with artisanal ornate and feminine flowery lines makes wrought iron pieces the ‘yin and yang’ go-to for designers, architects and homeowners. 

Wrought iron pieces are the perfect mis-and-match solution for all spaces in your home

Its long list of qualities – including beauty, durability, versatility and low maintenance – make wrought iron furniture and accessories a classic addition to any room or corner of your home. Because of their history, wrought iron pieces fall into the antique category, making them investment pieces that are set to increase in value over time.

Organic or geometrical, traditional or innovative, decorative or linear, it’s no wonder wrought iron has captivated the decor world and transcended design trends for hundreds of years. 

Whether it’s a bed frame, dining table, coffee table, garden urn or mirror, wrought iron adds a touch of refined charm to any room. It all comes down to its versatility. 

An inspirational addition to outdoor spaces

Outdoor spaces highlight the unique versatility and beauty of wrought iron options like no other space in your home. Not only is it durable and weather resistant, but its dark linear or curvy lines and angles – with negative space – give it a poetic element that dialogues beautifully in garden areas or on patios.
