Iron, brass, whatever -- metal beds are in season.Metal beds are typically traditional in style, and many times have just a touch of femininity. I often picture a brass or iron bed adorned with floral bedding and frilly pillows next to an open window where the breeze is ever so slightly fluttering the white window sheers. Screeching record -- wait. If you don't like the shabby chic or overtly feminine style, that certainly doesn't mean that you can't have a metal bed!
With lots of traditional, transitional and modern designs on the market, there's sure to be a metal bed to fit your style. You can make them work with masculine textiles, modern patterns and mix them up with bold, graphic patterns. Plus, you can find one to fit just about any budget from under $200 to over $2000.
For those of you who might have a more traditional or transitional decorating style, here are a few of my favorites:
Keep it traditional.
