Contrary to popular belief, wrought iron headboards come in distinctly modern styles too! You can find designs, like this one, with sleek silhouettes, clean lines and geometric shapes, free from fancy scrollwork and finial studded posts.

The size of the headboard influences the style of the room. Low profile and extra-wide headboards project a much more modern feel, whilst tall headboards often create a more traditional look.

Reminiscent of old iron gates safeguarding beautiful countryside mansions, antique metal headboards are full of a romanticism that only encourages you to dream. Taking inspiration from time-honored craftsmanship, wrought iron scrollwork imitates crawling vines, making it the perfect complement to a rustic country cottage guest bedroom.

If you fancy updating your bed with a queen size wrought iron headboard but the bed frame doesn’t match, try hiding it with a dust ruffle or by draping your bed linen over the side. 

Upgrade your bed tenfold with an elegant wrought iron headboard fit for a Queen! Ornate carved shapes and fleur-de-lis details add an aristocratic touch and sense of grandeur.

Tall, curved iron headboard designs, like this one, do wonders for rooms with high ceilings as they draw the eye upwards. They also work especially well paired with luxurious soft fabrics and elegant patterns.

For a more contemporary feel, opt for a wrought-iron headboard with a painted finish. Antiquated white is a good option as it is a versatile color that will match almost any color scheme and is not overpowering. 

Introduce a Victorian-style iron headboard to inspire your guest bedroom decor. Clean framed headboards with spindles adorned with rounded castings create an understated and timelessly elegant centerpiece and provide the perfect platform on which to showcase your personal style.

Remember, always make sure the headboard is at least a foot higher than the mattress so it doesn’t get obscured by the stacks of cushions and pillows. If you’re looking for comfortable lean-back support, measure your height when sitting in bed. 

Add a hint of nostalgia to your room whilst maintaining a sense of softness and warmth with a wrought iron headboard with an upholstered panel. The iron structure creates a sturdy frame, whilst the soft, padded center provides a comfortable backdrop to lean into when reading or enjoying your morning cup of tea.

The only downside to upholstered headboards is that they require more maintenance. Use a pillow to prevent hair oils from damaging the fabric and clean regularly with a vacuum brush.

Create a neutral backdrop to suit all kinds of bedding with a metal slatted headboard. A simple frame with rounded edges and sleek spindles inspires a rustic charm that complements a range of decors, such as farmhouse, vintage, eclectic or industrial.
