Hand-forged Ironwork holds a distinct character—every curve, hammer strike, and hand worked finish adds warmth and genuine craftsmanship to your space. Here are five curated ways to bring that glow into your home, paired with products from Element Hardware that align with each idea.

1. Upgrade Cabinetry with Iron Pulls & Knobs

Even small hardware changes can transform a room. Swap out standard knobs or pulls for textured, artisan-forged iron to add visual interest and richness.

3. Warm Up Windows with Iron Curtain Rods

Window treatments can frame a room. Hand-forged curtain rods or brackets give drapery a grounded, historic feel—especially when paired with natural fabrics like linen or burlap.
