Metal Sleigh Beds: A Metal Infusion

Grace Collection Wave Sleigh Bed

Two schools exist, when it comes to metal furniture and bed frames. One school consists of the new hip, industrial look found in ultra-chic lofts and other areas where minimalism is the concept and the focus. The other school is a simple, refined one where metal is used to incorporate a modern look while maintaining traditional designs. Metal sleigh beds are enrolled in the second school. The allure of metal sleigh beds is the curve of the frame. This design still allows the metal frame to achieve a warm, welcoming look that offers a touch of modernity, while not being overly urban-chic.

Going Modern
Not to detract from other building materials used throughout the years, but metal screams modern. Metal, of course, is not new. Humans have used, relied upon, and manipulated metal since prehistoric times. We've even named eons after certain metals (Bronze Age, Gilded Age etc.). It should come as no surprise that metal has gained in popularity, especially during the 20th century, finding its way into homes and intimate settings. This contemporary appeal can be found in metal sleigh beds.

Metal sleigh beds provide the sophistication of wrought iron and brass beds. Metal sleigh beds are usually made of steel and zinc. The metal is then coated with a finish. The finish usually provides a contemporary look and gunmetal (a type of bronze), in particular, has a high shine finish. Also, metal sleigh beds can be made of synthetic copper and gold finishes. Gold bestows the bed with a rich, opulent feel. Many metal beds include details and accents, from simple straight lines and bars to more elaborate scrolls. The latter of these details are meant to replicate the look of antique beds. Generally speaking, the heavier and thicker the metal used the more expensive the bed.

Metal sleigh beds add a whole new element to your bedroom decor and offer exquisite details and elegance to your room. When choosing a bed it is important to make sure you choose the right size of bed for your room and style. Remember, you'll be the one sleeping in it.
