I love the look of metal furniture, so when I found myself in the market for a new bedroom set, iron bed frames were the perfect place to start. I began my hunt online, where I found dozens of websites dedicated to this specific type of furniture. I found all kinds of bedroom sets that would match my taste to a "T"; now all I had to do was select the one I liked best.
This turned out to be more challenging than I first thought, as I began looking at page after page of beautiful iron bed frames that I could imagine myself sleeping in. Some were reproductions, while others were the original pieces from a century ago, completely refinished to withstand the lifestyles of today. I also found companies that made iron bed frames by hand, using similar techniques to those from many years ago.
I liked the idea of purchasing an authentic iron bed frame from the late 1800s or early 1900s that some of my forefathers might have slumbered in. The problem was that the biggest pieces would only accommodate a full-size mattress " not so helpful for my queen-sized taste! The good news is that many of the online retailers can convert those sizes into queen and king without losing the original charm of the piece.
Some companies keep iron bed frames in their inventory unfinished, so you can order a piece to your own individual specifications. I liked this approach a lot, because it meant that I could buy the design I liked the best, and then get the finish that would coordinate the prettiest into my bedroom. Some of the designs of these authentic antiques were truly one of a kind, and I found many to fall in love with.
Then I began surfing the sites for reproduction pieces and I found some great choices in iron bed frames here as well. I scanned styles that ran from ultra sleek and contemporary to those that looked like they just came out of a 19th-century home. Some even came with a canopy for the ultimate in romance! There were different sizes and finishes to delight every taste and budget.
Speaking of budget, I am happy to report that the iron bed frames I found were quite reasonably priced, allowing me to purchase a few matching pieces for the rest of the bedroom as well. I chose a style that was accented in a rich, warm wood tone, to add coziness to the ambiance of my room. I love my new iron bed frame, and would strongly encourage anyone to give one of these pieces a try. Check out the Internet for the latest and greatest, and sleep well tonight! - 16035
