Clicky: Do you think metal frame beds are out of style?

lmdbww

Like brass beds, wrought iron beds, etc....  I am just browsing online for bed frames for our guest room. I like other styles better and probably wont get one, but wondered if people thought they were out of style?

I feel like brass is making a small comeback, but it's NMS.

I definitely think it depends on the style and what purpose you have for it. I looked into metal framed daybeds for my office/guest bedroom, but it was going to have to be very straight lined and either a chromed look or finish. So it really depends on how its going to be used. (great for shabby chic)

I don't think it's as much in and out of style as much as it is style specific.

If you have a shabby chic/antiquey/more country style they fit right in.

Is it the trend of the week...probably not... but was it ever really?

I don't think they're out of style, but they hurt more when you bang your leg on them, lol.

Wood is just warmer and inviting than metal. I like wood.

Normally not my style but for a guest bed, I'd be willing to do it. Think of it this way, it will make the room look nice for guest but you won't have to see it very often.

lol.   I'm pretty sure it was the trend when my bed was made...in the late 1800s. And again in the 1970s, when we got the bed frame from my grandmother, and when my brother bought a newer style brass bed.

I don't even feel like the beds are necessarily style specific.  Besides our simple frame that has fit with every style we've thrown at it, from rustic antique to  contemporary/modern, we have another that is more ornate that also seems to be a bit of a chameleon.  Maybe it wouldn't fit in a super modern space, but I think mixing eras and styles can balance a space so it works for me.

We just bought a king size for our bedroom. It is oil rubbed bronze and I love it.  It makes the room feel bigger and I have all white bedding on it.

I think that if you like it, that's all that matters.

NMS, but I've always thought they were classic ???

I love them. Not necessarily a fan of some of the brass ones, but in general I think they work with a lot of different styles/rooms, etc.

I like them.  We are planning to get one of the Ikea ones for our queen bed (which will become a guest bed at some point).  Probably we will get a wood bed for our "forever" bed, but I do like the metal ones just fine.  And they are cheap!

I like them in the right context. It has to make sense with the rest of your decor, but I don't see anything out of style about brass per se (except maybe those rad 80s style brass beds are kind of out LOL!). I actually think they can be quite romantic - I instantly think of that Lay Lady Lay song, so I have a strong positive association.
