Minimal linear patterns
Clean vertical or horizontal bar patterns, sometimes combined with a matte black finish, are increasingly popular for homes with a modern architectural style. They offer good security without the heavier, more traditional look of scrollwork designs.
Mixed material gates
Combining iron frames with wood or laminate panel inserts gives a gate more visual warmth while keeping the structural strength of iron. This mixed-material approach is especially popular for main entrance gates where homeowners want privacy along with a premium look.
Motorised and automated gates
More homeowners are pairing custom iron gate designs with automated sliding or swing mechanisms, which means the gate now has to be designed with the motor and track system in mind from the start, rather than added on afterward.
