Forged furniture is made by hand, and therefore it will be impossible to find two identical elements. These elements are characterized by intricate, complex patterns from which amazing compositions are created. Despite the strength and brutal nature of the material, such furniture looks light, elegant and sophisticated.
Due to these features, forged furniture is able to visually expand the space, which should be noted by the owners of small apartments.

We found only two flaws that are typical for such interior elements.
- Heavy weight characteristic even for a small object. If you want to hang a wrought iron shelf, you need to provide a secure mount so that it can support a lot of weight.
- High price becomes an obstacle for many users who are attracted to such products. But if you take into account all the advantages described above, then the cost will no longer seem so high. After all, such products serve for a long time and often become a rarity.

It is the most common and demanded element that is purchased in the hallway. Such copies are available in two types and differ in the way they are installed.

Suspended option equipped with hooks, it needs to be fixed to the wall. Some models have a shelf for hats and even mirrors, which is a convenient option. Hanging hangers take up less space and look compact.

Floor models require more space, therefore they are suitable only for large rooms. But they look solid and can easily become the main element of the interior. Such hangers have the form of a bar on which hooks are located in several rows. Top hooks are for hats. It is convenient to place bags, umbrellas or baby clothes on the lower hooks. Forged floor hangers are often equipped with wicker baskets or umbrella racks.

Kaloshnitsa
Forged models are usually created in the form of shelves or a sofa with compartments for storing shoes. We advise you to pay attention to the last option, since it is more convenient to use. If a shoe rack in the form of shelves is chosen, then you will additionally have to buy a banquet or ottoman.

Banquet
In a spacious living room, there must be a banquette. This piece of furniture allows you to sit comfortably to take off your shoes after a hard day at work. The banquet will allow the guest to wait for you in comfort. A bench or a sofa, with or without a backrest - the choice is yours.

Side table
The table can be located near the bench or under the mirror. Forged living room tables are small enough for a purse, gloves, favorite perfume or keys.
If the room allows you to arrange a small table, then this opportunity must be used.

Basket
This handy item for storing and drying umbrellas is not particularly common among Russians. This is because we are used to drying our umbrellas open, which is a gross mistake. It is more correct to dry the umbrella after rain in a closed state - this allows you not to stretch the material. The best option for these purposes is precisely a forged basket, because this material does not care about the effects of moisture.

Mirror
The wrought-iron mirrors are great. They have no equal in beauty and majesty. Such an element of the interior is original and complete, therefore it does not need to be supplemented with other wrought iron furnishings.

Combination with different styles
Forged furniture can be combined with different styles, not just classics and shabby chic. Let's consider some of them:
- baroque and rococo impossible without monograms, gilding and luxurious materials - forged furniture with such elements will fit perfectly into any of these styles;
- country - this is a rustic style in which any wrought iron furniture in a simple design will look harmonious;
- modern welcomes the combination of forging and natural wood, therefore such solutions can be safely implemented in the hallway;
- hi-tech and loft, despite the modernity, they welcome the use of forged interior items, but their design should not contain everything without which the baroque style is impossible.

Location rules
Wrought iron furniture must not only be chosen correctly, but also placed in the room. Such interior items are special, therefore the approach to them should also be special.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/07/kovanaya-mebel-dlya-prihozhej-plyusy-minusy-i-krasivye-primery-53.jpg)
It is important to take into account the nuances that interior designers are armed with.
- Forged furniture is created from natural materials, therefore it is best combined with the same natural elements. The most successful options are metal, glass, stone, wood. An entrance hall decorated with such materials will look natural, authenticity and unique style will be present in its interior.
- It is also worth placing forged elements in the adjacent rooms. They may be small, but their presence will highlight the overall style and connect all the rooms into a single composition.
- Light furniture looks best next to forging. This combination gives the interior lightness and even some airiness.
