Actually in this case it is still is a bed; it's just one you won't find traipsing around Ikea. Family-owned brand Wrought Iron & Brass Bed Co., makes everything from classic-looking bedsteads to off-the-wall designs in wrought iron, brass and nickel – and it'll even go bespoke.

The William is made entirely from genuine recycled scaffolding, and comes either painted or with a clear lacquer to preserve its distinctive grungy look. Either way, it's certainly one way to add some industrial chic to your bedroom.
