Which Outdoor Wrought Iron Patio Furniture Style is Perfect for You?

Outdoor wrought iron patio furniture is not only strong and durable; it also comes in various styles to fit various moods. Some styles are highly ornate and are best used  with a central theme, while some are basic and are easily incorporated into practically any existing design. Black is their most common color, but you should also find them available in white and other distinctive hues. Here is a quick look at several styles of wrought iron furniture.

English Rose

These pieces are highly ornate, delicate and curved. They style feature lines and scrolls and various lattice and  rose patterns. The backs of such furniture are quite low, and are mostly bordered with curved lines and swirls. Their legs are also curved, sometimes finished  with scrolls and swirls. Such a look is reminiscent of a manor or country cottage. The Dimante 48″ Round Cast Aluminum Dining Table in Aged Iron Finish with Umbrella Hole by Alfresco Home is for sure  one fine example of this.

Tuscany

This furniture is large, thick and very heavy. It  come with bold lines that square off the pieces and are mostly decorated with bold scrolls, circles and swirls. The style can be ornate but is stays simple instead of being crowded with design. Its backs feature thick oblongs, circles and scrolls while legs that are generally straight or slightly curved outward. Such style evokes Old World charm.

Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo iron furniture is also heavy, large and thick, perhaps more than the Tuscany style. It tends to be less ornate than the other styles, with bold circles accenting it once in a while. It has this sleek and urban feel instead of something that you would find in a country garden. An example of this is the Living Cast Iron Rim Stone Finish Fire Pit by Well Traveled Living. Notice its heavy frame and short and thick legs, giving it a somewhat brazen and harsh look.

Milano

The Milano style is similar to that of Monte Carlo, except that it has a slightly lighter touch. Its angles are less harsh which often feature rounded edges, while its lines are much more narrow. The backs of these furniture pieces mostly feature a simple outline and perhaps with a line or two while the legs are slightly curved. Check out the Westgate 6 Piece Loveseat Set by Tortuga Outdoor. It does invoke a relaxed and low vibe.

Lattice

This style is a standard that can easily be incorporated into the other wrought iron styles. Some furniture manufacturers refer to this style as Barcelona. On its most basic level, this style features crisscrossed iron slats that resemble a lattice pattern, gracing the seats, tables and  backs of furniture. its frames are relatively thinner and simpler, and they come with straight legs. This successfully puts the lattice design in center stage.
