4 iron beds that make the perfect statement
Whether you’re going for a rustic farmhouse aesthetic, a traditional Victorian-esque style, or a minimalist industrial look, iron beds are the perfect statement piece. Incredibly versatile and durable, an iron bed will seamlessly evolve with your room as your decor style changes. Therefore, it’s a worthwhile investment piece.
However, due to them being handcrafted and often customisable, they can be a little tricky to track down. So we’ve done the groundwork for you, and rounded up a selection of four of our favourite iron beds. For your reference – unless stated otherwise, all pricing is based on a double bed with no bespoke features.
