11 proposals for including wrought iron in your interior design projects

Wrought iron is a material that has been used for centuries to make robust, lasting furniture - often for outdoors. These "tough" properties make wrought iron ideal for creating decorative architectural structures. However, when it comes to interior design, wrought iron is often limited to being used for handrails. But so much more can be done with this material.

Wrought iron's malleability allows it to be used to create modern, imaginative objects and design elements. Check out the ideas below:

One common use for wrought iron is as a way to support planters - especially raised pot holders - and are beautiful inside or outside of the house.

And they can certainly have contemporary, modern lines, adapting to any style.

It's hard not to admire the beauty of narrow tables deployed near the entrance of the house and have legs made from ornate wrought iron.

For a touch of timeless style, why not consider wrought iron chandeliers? You may be surprised to discover how well they can adapt to the surroundings.

Small wrought iron decorations can enrich empty spaces such as the corners of a doorway in an unexpected way.

Used like this, they can function almost as half-partition walls, without actually closing off the spaces.

Here's a refined version of a grate that acts as a room divider and without blocking the light.

There are also those who have used a wrought iron grating panel on the ceiling - a true eye-catcher.

And why not consider getting some wrought iron furniture? Not just exclusively for the garden, some chairs might be perfect inside the home.

And the same can be said of tables for the dining room, living room or kitchen!
