Wrought-iron beds in the interior

Wrought-iron beds have been used in the interior for a long time. These pieces of furniture do not age and do not go out of fashion. By forging means the process of deformation of the metal (heated or cooled) under the influence of a press or hammer, that is, its decoration. The more elegant the pattern, the finer the work of the master, and accordingly the higher the price for the finished product. The history of blacksmithing originates in the depths of centuries. It began at a time when a man learned to obtain fire and "met" with metal. In Russia blacksmiths were one of the most respected people in the villages, along with the elders. At times superstitious inhabitants attributed to them even supernatural abilities, allegedly the process of metal processing was a matter of exclusively mystical character. It is possible that the transformations undergone by the heated base did indeed seem miraculous to humans.

According to the temperature to which the pig is driven (a piece of raw material), two types of forging are distinguished:

ColdUsed mainly in jewelry. Cool copper, silver or gold.
HotIt is used for manual work.

According to the nature of the work, the classification is as follows:

StampingIn this case, special hollow forms are used, that is, the blank is limited from all sides, and when heated, it fills the voids and acquires the desired shape.
ManualThe workpiece is not limited at all or only partially. All work is done manually (as the name implies) with a hammer.
MachineFor forging special units are used, which are equipped with heavy hammers or presses deforming the metal.

It should be noted that the harder the steel, the lower the maximum temperature of its heating. The fact is that the soft material crystallizes more slowly during cooling. Overheating of steel is fraught with the formation of "grains" and a violation of the integrity of the pig. It can crack or even break up into pieces from one hammer blow. There is also such a thing as burned. In this case, the chemical structure of steel is disrupted, it begins to actively lose carbon, which brings it closer to the iron. Such material is unfit for work. Burning is much more dangerous than overheating, as it is impossible to fix it.

There is also another classification according to the processing method:

  • Ordinary. Of one blank, the entire product is made.
  • Welding. In it, pre-heated parts are connected together.
  • Crimson Crick. The material is taken as a basis, heated to a dough-like state. By forging its smallest particles are compacted and welded to each other, in parallel with this process, the separation of slags occurs.

For a particular type of product, one or another processing method is used. Beds due to large sizes are made in parts, and then welded into a single structure.

Ways of making forged beds

Forged beds are made mainly by two methods:

  • Stamping;
  • Manual работа.

The price for the stamped is several times lower, because they are made faster and are not unique. During the manual work, the master spends much more time, but it turns out exclusive, you can even say a designer product. It can be made according to customer's sketches.

The process itself is conditionally divided into several stages:

  • Heating of the blank (steel base). Gradually melt the oven to the stage of dark red heat. At this stage, pre-heated material is placed in it. The last nuance is very important, since a cold disc from sharp temperature changes in the outer and inner layers can give cracks and tears, which can not be seen visually, but will make themselves felt when swaging. The material is heated to a temperature maximum (for a metal of different hardness a separate threshold is set) and taken out of the furnace.
  • The next stage will be swage. Here the master begins to forge a pig. Philistines may assume that the metal inside has a dense structure, in fact it is not. Under the upper layer, microscopic cavities and "tunnels" are hidden. From them it is necessary to get rid, that is, to "squeeze" the pig: press the hot material with a hammer.
  • Procurement. Almost the final stage. During the preparation, the blank is shaped and adjusted to the required dimensions. It turns out almost finished product, but still with rough outlines. This process, in turn, is divided into several types: the preparation of rings, flat things of solid and hollow cylinders.
  • Final finishing. At this stage, the product is finally adjusted for excision. It is cleaned of cracks, notches and a hammer "bypass" once again. In parallel, use cold water, which the product is pelletized. As a result, scale is formed, which positively affects the smoothness of the surface. Finish work by priming the surface and painting it.

When heated on the surface of the disc, scale is formed. It partially disappears during the swage, and the rest is removed with a broom. Because of this layer, the disc loses a small part of its original size. For this reason, they take a little more than the item they want to receive.

Forged beds in various styles of interior decoration

Forged beds can be of three types:

  • With a head and foot. They, in turn, can be of the same height or different;
  • Only with a headboard;
  • With a forged canopy frame.

Of the materials give priority to aluminum, cast iron, copper, steel and iron. Previously, such products because of the high cost could afford only buyers from the wealthy strata of society. Now the prices for wrought-iron beds also "bite", but because there is no need to replace them for many decades, overpaying quickly turns into a saving.

Many people mistakenly believe that such a bed will bring gloominess to the situation in the room. These associations did not arise from scratch. Previously, forged beds were used in styles with "heavy" luxury. They could be seen in historical films, where the decor of the bedrooms was decorated in dark colors, with an abundance of decorative elements. Such styles were classical for that time, but became far from the interior ideal of modern man. However, the range of wrought-iron beds is represented by thousands of models, which find their continuation in most modern design directions. "Native" such products are considered for classics, Provence and Italian style.

Fusion, kitsch and eclecticism

For a typical interior, kitsch stylistics uses primitive wrought-iron beds. Drawing on the sides will be simple and simple, without the abundance of thin ligatures or complex elements. Often for kitsch, which is very fond of "low-quality" products, punchings are acquired, that is, elements of mass production. Fusion is in many respects similar to eclecticism, in fact these are only two extremes within a single style. The only difference is that eclecticism was created at the beginning of the last century on the ruins of the once popular Baroque and Rococo.

Fusion is referred to younger directions using modern materials in design. Both styles are a mix. For this reason, wrought-iron beds can be of a variety of shapes and metal "weaving". The whole question is only in their combinations with other items of furniture, decoration and decoration. For example, against the background of brick or stone walls of industrial, a classic bed with a complex pattern of curls will look extremely original. In wooden houses made of timber with untreated surfaces, which will "scream" about the rustic style, fusion will place a bed of expensive materials with forged, painted in extravagant colors. The room with a bed in the style of vintage with a soft, gentle pattern, eclecticism will easily turn into a combined room. It will be attended by an American colonial style in decor and elements of stucco baroque.

Modern or art-nouveau

Modern was able to synthesize natural materials, quiet shades (ash gray, beige, black, pastel colors) and smooth, rounded lines. Wrought-iron beds in the decoration of the bedroom will be her accent. The headboard and the footplate are decorated with solid curved lines of different diameters in certain areas. They will resemble long stems of fantastic colors, which create a weird, but naturally-organic pattern by their interlacing.

Modern forging

By the way, forging in this style is used in all rooms: from the living room and to the bathroom. The results of forging work are found in decorative partitions, table legs, backs of chairs, window grilles, chandeliers and wall sconces. Art Nouveau strives to create in the atmosphere a feeling, as if it was made out by nature itself. The abundance of flowers and wavy lines is embodied not only in decoration, but also forged beds. They are adorned with complex, symmetrical elements (flowers and leaves), which are continued in ornate patterns on the walls and carved wood in furniture: author's cabinets, armchairs, pedestals. Forged ornament in art-nouveau will necessarily be the result of the fine work of the master.

Classicism

In classicism, forged products look organically and appropriately. In fact, the peak of their popularity coincided with the flowering of this style. It is characterized by an abundance of small details, elegant lines, patterns and ornament more like a lace of fine work. The wrought-iron bed can be chosen from the samples of the end of the XIIX-early XIX century. It will be decorated with traditional for that time symmetrical patterns with curls. An elegant addition will be a canopy made of satin fabric, which is combined with textile curtains and bedspreads.

Country

В кантри кованые спинки кроватей выполняются с вертикальными «штырями», верх которых соединяет скромный орнамент. Постель застилают одеялом из шотландского тартана (клетчатая ткань), который подчеркнет «ковбойскую» небрежность обстановки. По бокам бортики кровати дополняются высокими колоннами, которые возвышаются над композицией. Можно использовать типовые модели, которые раньше стояли во всех летних лагерях и санаториях, но с добавлением мелких витых элементов. Country во многом походит на простой, деревенский стиль, поэтому не терпит излишней помпезности и роскоши. Для этого направления выбирают простую и функциональную мебель.

Shebby-chick

Shebby-chick, во многом похож на прованс, но использует мебель, которая имитирует отлично сохранившийся антиквариат.

Их помещают в более пеструю обстановку, но такое сочетание не портит общей картины. Ковку окрашивают в нежные цвета: белый, розовый, голубой или персиковый. Они гармонируют с цветастыми покрывалами, мягкими коврами на полу и светлой меблировкой спальни.

They should not play a key role in the interior, with this finish will successfully cope. A wrought-iron bed will only be a functional detail, discreet and practical.

Forged bed and bedroom area

In small bedrooms with a deficit of sq.m. you can not use bulky furniture. This rule applies to beds. In such rooms they will already occupy most of the room, so the forged pattern should be chosen simple, and colors - neutral. In spacious bedrooms, wide beds are more like luxurious beds. It would be superfluous to add an additional canopy, the frame of which is also made of metal and complemented by decorative elements. Original imitation of thin tree trunks with weaving leaves and branches or columns crowned with grapevines is original.
