Make Your Home A Palace Using Custom Ornamental Iron

By Marjorie Vargas


Whenever there is a period drama filmed in the United Kingdom one thing about the stately homes is always evident. That is custom ornamental iron, be it on the massive entry gates, the fencing or as pieces within the grounds. These pieces do make a statement, and because of the way that they are made also stand the test of time.

Admittedly not everyone can live in such splendor. However there is nothing to stop people making the most out of what they have. This can be achieved with a few well chosen pieces.

Ideally it should serve a practical purpose, but in an appealing way. For example, imagine that your partner was accident prone, but loved to sit on your open porch and read. It is easy to imagine them taking a tumble over the edge, this could be prevented by installing wrought iron railings. In one stroke you have made your porch safer, as well as improving its looks.

Perhaps you like the thought of metal security grilles for your doors and windows. Those constructed from wrought iron, are pleasing to the eye, but still do the job of preventing unwanted visitors gaining entry. With the screens fitted it is possible to have the doors and windows ajar, so you can still benefit from any breeze. As the designs are largely open light is unobstructed.

Perhaps you have a relative, or friend, who is a keen gardener. Maybe they also happen to have a birthday approaching. They would really appreciate a handmade rose arch. You could even get their initials included as part of the design, making it a truly individual piece. A piece that they will cherish as it will be in constant use for many years.

A lot of people feel that this material is best used outside, and not indoors. How wrong they are. If you had the available space, imagine what an impact handmade spiral stairs would have. Parts would not need replacing due to its durability.

Due to temperature variations these pieces will contract and expand, but only marginally. Unlike other materials, which can warp, twist and split under the same conditions. So these individual pieces will have a much longer lifespan than similar items made from other materials.

Most firms that deal with these types of products will provide a very comprehensive service. They will be with you all of the way, from design up to installation. All that you need to do is to dream up your own unique design, and watch it take shape. Even if you have inherited pieces that are starting to look a bit tired, these companies can breathe new life into them.

It is just your own imagination that limits what can be achieved with custom ornamental iron pieces. With their durability they are ideal for outside. Maybe as part of furniture, a safety railing around your pool to keep pets and small children from harm's way, or even as something as unusual as a weather vane. On the inside, bespoke head and foot boards for beds, or even a metal candelabra. The choices are endless
