Forged furniture is made manually, 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.

The style is very popular now. shabby chic. Forged furniture is one of the main conditions for its embodiment. A corridor decorated in this style should be in harmony with other rooms and the general style of housing. Solving this problem is easy - it will be enough to arrange forged elements in other rooms as well.

Before deciding on the choice of forged products for the hallway, you need to study their positive and negative sides. Based on this information, you can make an informed choice.

Let's start with the pleasant - we will study the merits of these products.

• Uniqueness is inherent in all handicrafts. Forged products are no exception, because hallways with these decorative elements are always distinguished by their exclusivity.
• A wide variety of shapes, details and elements makes the choice for the user unlimited. Each master owns different techniques, uses various tools and materials. All this allows you to create truly unique creations.
• Reliability and durability Forged products are at such a high level that no other furniture can compare with them. You will need to try very hard to break or at least scratch the forged product. He does not care about the influence of time, sloppy operation and the impact of other external factors.
• The most easy leaving, which consists in wiping surfaces from dust and other contaminants.

We found only two drawbacks that are characteristic of such interior elements.

• Heavy weight characteristic even for a small subject. If you want to hang a forged shelf, you need to provide a secure mount so that it can withstand heavy 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, the cost will no longer seem so high. After all, such products serve a long time and often become a rarity.

Forged furniture in the hallway is available in a large assortment. Each master seeks to create a unique thing, come up with an unusual design and conquer customers with his skill. All this wealth of iron is divided into several categories.

It is the most common and sought-after item that is acquired in the hallway. Such instances are available in two forms and differ in the installation method.

Hanging option equipped with hooks, it needs to be mounted on the wall. In some models there is 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 arranged in several rows. Top hooks are designed for hats. On the lower hooks it is convenient to place bags, umbrellas or children's clothing. Forged floor hangers are often equipped with wicker baskets or umbrellas.

Shod 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 latter option, since it is more convenient to use. If a galoshnik in the form of shelves is selected, then you will additionally have to buy a banquette or ottoman.

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

The table can be located near the banquet or under the mirror. The wrought-iron tables for the living room are small in size, which is enough for a handbag, gloves, favorite perfumes or keys.

This convenient item for storing and drying umbrellas is not particularly common among Russians. That's because we got used to drying umbrellas in open form, which is a gross mistake. It is more correct to dry the umbrella after rain in the closed state - this allows you not to stretch the material. The best option for these purposes is a forged basket, because this material is not affected by moisture.

The forged mirrors are magnificent. They have no equal in beauty and grandeur. This element of the interior is original and complete, because it does not need to be supplemented with other forged interior items.

Forged furniture can be combined with different styles, and not just with 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 forged furniture in a simple design will look harmonious;

• modern welcomes the combination of forging and natural wood, because such solutions can be safely embodied in the hallway;

• hi-tech and loft, despite the present, they welcome the use of forged interior items, but their design should not have all that without which the Baroque style is impossible.

Forged furniture must not only be chosen correctly, but also placed indoors. Such interior items are special, therefore, the approach to them should also be special.

It is important to consider the nuances that interior designers are armed with.

• Forged furniture is created from natural materials, so it is best combined with the same natural elements. The most successful options are metal, glass, stone, wood. The entrance hall, decorated with such materials, will look natural; authenticity and a unique style will be present in its interior.
• In the neighboring rooms, it is also worthwhile to arrange forged elements. Let them be small, but their presence will highlight the overall style and connect all the rooms in a single composition.
• Next to forging, light furniture looks best. This combination gives the interior lightness and even some airiness.
