I don't know why but wrought iron beds and other iron furniture always emanate a hint of romance no matter which design. Maybe it is the seeming fragility of the material that evokes this impression. Or maybe because most wrought iron beds are dressed with romantic materials such as lots of pillows, ruches, sheers and silky textiles etc.
Wrought iron furniture never seems to disappear entirely from the sonar of interior design despite any trends. And I know that quite a lot of people share this love for romantic furniture - therefore I did a little research and this is a collection of various styles I found. Maybe it gives you some inspirational thoughts if you are in the middle of decorating or re-furnishing your home.
A completely unusual free form is this lovely bed:

Another very stylish and more classical form is this metal bed:

The next bed is kept in a much more simple victorian style design but nevertheless elegant:

A much more romantic version is this iron bed:

The next example is a wrought iron daybed. Very simple in its design but with the right decoration a very sweet alternative to the classical chaiselongue or settée:

Who would not love the next example - the embodiment of a romantic bed, transferred from a different time right out of the history of old Victorian homes?

A very delicate version of an iron bed is the following example. It looks so fragile that one cannot imagine sleeping in a bed such as this one without collapsing...

Unfortunately I could not find a better photo of the following iron bed. This design is unusual and truly artistic. As a completely free and asymetric form it is reminiscent of a sculpture:

And how stylish is this Italian canopy bed? You simply have to love it:

Now the following example for a wrought iron bed is quite a different caliber. Grafted and gilded it has been transformed into a luxury bed ready to be used by a princess...

In addition to above iron bed what about this one from a Moroccan palace:

Imagine you have a bedroom and then a jewel such as this one. It would be THE eyecatcher and the pride of your home:
image source
This is a bed design that could be the main piece of a goth inspired room. Imagine dark walls, clad in deep purple velvets with lots of precious decorative objects carefully placed in the room, on the bed itself heavy silk blankets and cushions, all black and purple and ruby red and then this bed frame - perfect!

The decoration of the following celtic style bed may not be to its best advantage but the frame is gorgeous. Oh what could you do with it in a goth style room
with the appropriate lush colours such as deep purple and dark reds and
tons of velvet and silks...

Now who says that only beds can be made and designed in wrought iron? The palette of furniture is endless and the designs are innumerable.
Doesn't this sink look gorgeous? I would love to have one and additionally some matching mirror and other small iron furniture for the bathroom...
image source
And what about this beautiful little coffee table?
image source
Another beautiful example is the next one. As you can see it can be more than just garden furniture...
image source
And how sweet would look this little bench in a lovely sunroom? Surrounded by tropical palms and ferns it could become a wonderful dreamy place:
image source
And last but not least - pets are dearly loved family members. So why should a dog or cat not have their own romantic bed such as this one? Don't they deserve some stylish furniture also?

Hope you loved this collection of wrought iron examples. I think I have to do another post on ornamental iron - there are so many beautiful designs one cannot cover just in one post...
