Featured this month: Faux Iron Grilles.

If you haven’t heard of faux iron grilles yet, you’re in for a treat. Though not technically a style on their own, faux iron grilles are versatile and transformative. With faux iron grilles, you can completely change the mood of an existing space or add some “WOW” to a new one.

The top 5 reasons this décor will be making a statement in the new  year:

1.  Visually Stunning

Visual appeal is, of course, the biggest reason to consider faux iron grilles. The look of aged iron makes nearly any space more interesting, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s some proof:

2.  Versatility in Function & Style

The second-best reason to love and embrace faux iron grilles is their versatility in function and style. As you saw in the photos, nearly any space in your home will welcome faux iron grilles with open arms. Incorporate them into cabinetry, ceilings, and doors. Try them in transoms and windows. Even use them as wall décor or room dividers.

Style-wise, depending on where you incorporate faux iron grilles within your home — along with the type of design and finish you choose — they can add classic elegance, industrial or modern appeal, rustic charm or farmhouse chic… the list is endless.

3.  Creative Freedom for You

Part of the versatility of faux iron grilles is the fact that they put you in the driver’s seat. If you’re a creative at heart, you can design faux iron grilles that express your artistic vision and fit your customized spaces. No space is too big, too small, or too awkwardly-shaped.

The possibilities for using faux iron grilles around your home reach as far as your imagination… and maybe even further!

4.  Low-Maintenance

Maintenance is important in window treatments and interior décor. Usually, the less upkeep the better, especially if your pieces are installed in hard-to-reach places.

Fortunately, faux iron grilles are moisture, termite, and rot resistant. You can incorporate them into your outdoor spaces or in bathroom windows and skylights without having to worry about deterioration, fading, or rusting. As a bonus, they’re also fire retardant.

 5.  Green & Friendly

Just in case you need one more reason to love faux iron grilles this year, they are also environmentally friendly. Constructed from recycled wood fiber and formaldehyde-free, faux iron grilles are kind to the environment. Why not feel good about your environmental impact this year?
