Below are custom ironwork decoration ideas to make your home more appealing.
Wrought Iron FencesA 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 RailingsIron 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 GatesYour 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.

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.
