Use Modernism in the Bedroom with Metal Furniture and Accessories
If you’ve been contemplating a modern bedroom makeover – consider metal beds, furniture and accessories! Designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel created the first cast iron table in 1820. Fast-forward a couple of centuries and designs are now readily available in all manner of alloys – bringing unique finishes, shapes and lustre into our homes.
Besides bringing a touch of contemporary styling to your boudoir, metal furniture is often lighter and more resilient than wood, it’s much simpler to take care of and lasts a lifetime!
This versatile material comes in all forms, colourways and styles – from statement industrial bedframes to glamourous gold finished wall shelves, take a look at our most popular modern home interior hits and bring your master bedroom into the twenty-first century!
