Metal Bedsteads

Thursday, October 20th, 2011

Metal bedsteads have a minimalist look. They are not ostentatious, or clinging to the limelight, demanding attention. They appear content with what they have, which is a simple and straightforward design, incorporating functionality in a pleasing sort of way, but one that has strength and character. Metal bedsteads can take you back to an earlier time too. They taste of grandmothers and an era when there were bed knobs without the broomsticks. Metal bedsteads are pleasing to have. They are easy to keep clean, and they will never lose their modernity – or their flair for yesteryear.

Metal bedsteads are available in a wide variety of styles and colours to suit every bedroom taste. Brass can look especially good with a kind of 19th century feel, something Scrooge-like for the 21st century home. A large brass knob at every corner of the bed has a kind of satisfying appeal. It may not help you sleep better at night, but it can add quality, style and a sort of splendour that your neighbours may lack. Brass can also work as connecting rods found in vertical rows on a headboard, or the footboard. The yellow gilded effect of brass can definitely lift the average metal bedstead above the ordinary.

The traditional style of metal bedsteads can often have stark contrasting features. Brass and chrome fittings and elements can gleam and shine, while the more functional cast iron part are usually a dull black, almost hidden from sight. This worked well in the metal bedsteads of an earlier time, and it still does today too, but expect more from the metal bedstead of today. Expect to be surprised by an adventurous spirit where white, black, orange, pink and yellow dominate. Where the bare, unadorned metal can shine through in gleaming stainless steel, sparkling chrome, or gilded brass.

It is easy to keep a metal bedstead clean. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth to restore their sparkle immediately. They tend not to have crevices where bacteria and mould can multiply, unlike wooden bedsteads. The metal remains almost detached from the softer materials of sheets, blankets, pillows and mattress. Yet it is all the more functional for being so as it seems to hold more focus, more determination of purpose, and ultimately we love the way a metal bedstead can dominate in a matronly kind of way.

Metal bedsteads have been around for many, many years. Today, they have the same appeal they held for our forebears. We love the hard, cold, unyielding metal surrounding the soft, warm, pliable sheets and mattress. The contrast works well, which is why metal bedsteads are as popular today as they have always been.

Metal Bedsteads – Modern yet Old-Fashioned

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Metal bedsteads have something of the old-fashioned appeal about them. They may remind you of Grandma’s old bed, or of something you may have seen in a period drama on TV where someone approaches their metal bedstead bed at night holding a candle. It’s that kind of vision that gets conjured up when you see metal bedsteads, but that is simply their charm, for metal bedsteads are as popular today as they ever were. These types of beds have as much a part to play in the 21st century as they did in the 20th, 19th and even earlier centuries.

Metal bedsteads come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and even metals. Brass always works well as part of a metal bedstead. It can be a large brass knob found at each corner of the bedstead, or brass rods connecting the top and bottom of the headboard, but wherever brass is used in a bedstead, it always works in a pleasing way. More modern metal bedsteads may have chrome adornments instead of the more traditional brass. Either work well for it’s the shine that sets them apart.

Traditional metal bedsteads are usually quite somber in appearance. The brass knobs and fastenings always gleam and shine brightly, while the cast iron parts are invariably painted a dull black. This still works well, but modern metal bedsteads are far more adventurous, and in many ways, more pleasing too. Bedsteads can now be any colour you wish, from while to black, pink to orange, and every shade imaginable in between. It is still quite common to let the shine of metal show through. Brass is still used, as is aluminium and chrome, as well as stainless steel.

Today’s metal bedsteads are available in any of the old-fashioned, but still very interesting, styles. They can also be found in quirky, modern styles that your grandparents, and their parents before them, would have stared at in disbelief. Colour dominates, whether it is subtle shades that blend in fascinating ways, or bright and bold splashes of statement that arrest the mind and demand attention. Once the basic strength of the bed frame is assured, designers can go overboard with sweeping lines and dramatic colour, and they increasingly do it too.

Metal bedsteads can appeal in a simple way. They can be quiet, uncomplicated and simple in design, or ornate and lavish in a screaming kind of way. It sometimes seems that designers have only just touched the surface of what can be achieved with this type of bedstead material. There’s something of the Victorian lifestyle, and yet the up to the minute, 21st century too in a metal bedstead.

Metal Bedsteads, a Blend of Stylish Simplicity

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Metal bedsteads have a kind of timeless quality about them. They conjure up an image of grandma’s bed, yet they also offer an up-to-the-minute stylish and completely modern bedroom accessory that any home would be delighted to display. The simplicity of metal bedsteads is also their strength. They have a kind of minimalist look that can say more than all the elaborate fabric-covered bedsteads that can sometimes smother appreciation.

Metal bedsteads, like any other type, can come in a wide variety of sizes. They range from the small 75 centimetre wide single beds to the 180 centimetre wide super king size double beds. In between you can choose either the 90 centimetre wide standard single bed, the 120 centimetre wide small double bed, the 135 centimetre wide stand double bed, or the 150 centimetre wide king size double bed. There’s definitely a size to fit every need.

Size isn’t everything though, and design is an important consideration too, as well as the type of finish and the colours used. Designs range from simple straight or gently curving lines to more elaborate form that have bed posts with large brass bed knobs. The latter type are perhaps the ones you may associate more with Grandma’s old bed. These beds are usually delivered in KD form and require assembly. Unlike some types of flat packed furniture, metal bedsteads are surprisingly easy to assemble, usually taking no more than 15 minutes or so the put together.

The colours and the finish of your metal bedstead are important too. You can have your bed delivered in a mechanical and modern chrome look, or if you prefer, an antique brass look. You can instead choose an elegant brushed nickel look, or just have the metal coloured white, black or a more metallic looking silver. Others colours and finishes are also available for a more custom appearance if desired.

We spend around one third of our lives lying in bed sleeping. That’s a lot of time, so it’s important to make sure that the bed we use is a good one. Metal bedsteads offer a degree of simplicity and style that few other types can offer. They have a kind of look that seems to have been around forever, and that will never become jaded. If you are undecided about your next bed purchase, metal bedsteads could be the perfect answer.
