Iron Headboards
There are a few things in life that are unchangeable. One of them is that we must get a good night's sleep. Part of getting that much-needed rest is being comfortable in your surroundings, with the kind of environment that relaxes you and helps wind you down.
It has been our experience (over the last 11 years) that iron headboards are one of those bedroom design elements that keep people relaxed. People who order iron beds or headboards are usually search based on a few criteria, such as the desire to connect to the past or they have a romantic vision of the bedroom. These are both good reasons, but in fact, today's designs in iron and metal headboards extends far beyond the traditional, ornate designs of the past. Our largest supplier, Wesley Allen, is renowned for their innovative designs that can blend with a huge variety of decor styles. They also offer some outstanding iron finishes in both the standard palette (the most popular being Golden Brown finish) and the customer palette (the most popular being Aged Bronze).
We have found that there are usually several reasons for customer ordering headboards instead of complete beds. The first reason is that they may just not have the space. Even though the footboard does not extend out far beyond the mattress, it can perceived to be crowding a smaller space. Decorating with just an iron headboard is perfect for a more confined environment, such as those used for guest rooms or in vacation homes. The other reason some people prefer iron headboards as opposed to complete beds is that they want to watch television in bed. Some footboards have higher posts which can obstruct the line of vision from the bed to the television. Lastly some people are just very tall! They like having a "headboard only" configuration to keep from banging their shins on a footboard.
We sell headboards from iron bed manufacturers like Wesley Allen, Stone County Ironworks, Fashion Bed Group, Matthews and Company, and American Drew. For Traditional to Transitional designs, we recommend Wesley Allen. For more naturalistic, rustic designs, we think that Stone County Ironworks and Matthews and Company are great choices. American Drew, who is known primarily for their all-wood bedroom furniture collections, offers a wonderfully graceful iron bed in the Ashby Park Collection. Whomever you choose, we are happy to help with the particulars of choosing your new iron headboard.
