Wrought iron décor gives your home a timeless elegance. Iron fixtures are also highly functional and will serve you for a long time. When decorating your home, you want to incorporate a style that fits your personality. Custom iron works give you free rein over your home decoration choices.

Below are custom ironwork decoration ideas to make your home more appealing.

Wrought Iron Fences

A wrought iron fence significantly improves your home's curb appeal. The fence is also a great security addition if you have it made with spiky ends. Iron fences can resist pests and extreme weather like rain and high winds. Thus, they have few maintenance requirements, unlike wood.

As long as you keep your fence clean, regularly check for and remove rust, and clean the fence, it lasts very long. Additionally, because this fence can resist water damage, you can install a wrought iron fence around your pool or hot tub as an extra safety measure.

You can have your fencing contractor customize your wrought iron fence by adding whatever patterns you like. You can also paint your fence to match your exteriors.

Staircase and Railings

Iron staircase railings are strong and gorgeous. Additionally, they suit all home designs, from colonial homes to contemporary house designs. A custom iron staircase adds sophistication to your house, especially when you use a decorative pattern rather than mundane bars.

You can use floral or intricate geometric patterns for your staircase railings. You may even get your entire staircase made out of iron. A wrought iron staircase and railings are also ideal for your exteriors because they can withstand all weather conditions.

Wrought Iron Gates

Your gate is one of the first things people see as they drive towards your property. Thus, the gate sets the tone for the home's look and adds to its curb appeal.

A custom iron gate makes a good first impression on your visitors. Additionally, you improve your home's security as the gate is hard for intruders to break.

Ornamental Balcony Railings

Balconies tend to look plain, which detracts from a home's beauty. But, you can make your balcony look less boring with ornamental railings. Ornamental iron railings are a great decorative choice if you favor subtlety in your home décor.

Juliet-style balconies are a great option if you want to open up your home by installing larger windows but have safety and security concerns. Iron railings are sturdy, which improves safety. You can hang vine plants or small garden boxes on your Juliet balcony for a more decorative touch.

Garden Trellises, Arches, and Gazebos

Ironwork blends seamlessly into gardens when used to make trellises. You can grow vines and flowers along the trellis to blend in better. A trellis with floral patterns goes together with your garden even better.

If you love spending time in your garden, an iron gazebo is the perfect garden addition to improve your comfort. A gazebo provides shelter from the elements, and you can use the space as a picnic area. An iron arch is a perfect solution if you want a garden entrance.

Fireplace Covers

An iron fireplace cover adds a decorative touch to your home while improving safety. A custom fireplace cover matches your home's design and your style preferences. This can help you improve the beauty of your living area.
