Simple Yet Sophisticated Iron Canopy Bed

An iron canopy bed can bring some drama into your otherwise boring bedroom. The mere presence of an iron canopy bed can add elegance, exquisiteness and uniqueness to your bedroom design.

A great iron canopy bed is the Wesley Allen Lindau complete bed. This piece of iron canopy bed shouts quality. The bed is constructed from heavy gauge iron by skilled craftsmen who weld each piece together. The iron decorations are hand-poured directly over the welded iron. With this, you will have a solid one-piece bed which is quite strong and durable. The bed can come in 30 custom finish making it your own special bed, a unique showpiece. Speaking of finish, Wesley Allen uses the exclusive PowerBond finish which includes baking the bed in ovens to produce high quality and exquisite finish. As for dimensions, the headboard height measures 58 ½ inches, the footboard is 33 ½ inches high and the canopy is 84 inches high.

Another simple construction is the Celia bed and canopy from Crate and Barrel Exclusive. This iron canopy bed has an all classic style written all over it. Constructed from quality steel and iron tubing, the bed is quite strong and durable. The simple straight lines on the headboard and the undecorated, smooth posts and canopy could be a good accent to your existing bedroom design. The headboard curves toward the center and encloses ten vertical tubular steel spindles within a supporting post frame. The bed frame is also reinforced by campaign-style braces on all four corners. The canopy can be installed and removed quite easily through a quick locking system at the crown.

Moving out from the simple designs, one can always go for an iron canopy bed that is more intricate. The Eden Isle canopy bed by Stone County Ironworks is a good example of superb craftsmanship. The headboard and footboard are designed with iron branches and leaves. Even the top of the four posts is decorated by a single leaf on each post. The bed is inspired by nature and is supposed to be a testimony to one’s environment and surroundings. The bed weighs a heavy 220 lbs and the canopy is 82 inches high. The Eden Isle bed comes in full, queen and king sizes.

Speaking of bulky, the Annie Selke Home iron canopy bed gives a good balance of comfort and aesthetics. The bed is made from striking pieces of forged iron with vertical and horizontal iron bars overlapping each other creating a checkered head and footboard. The overall design takes a little from both traditional and contemporary styles. The bronze finish also adds some character and would look good in a bright painted bedroom. The bed is available in king and queen sizes. The king size measures 82.25 inches wide, 82 inches long and 92 inches tall while the queen is just a little short and narrow at 80.25 inches by 80 inches respectively).
