First, in terms of performance, iron is a metal, wear-resistant and durable, not easy to break, easier to maintain.

Second, in the form of decoration, the texture is dominated by curves and geometric figures, and the pattern is dominated by animals and plants (flowers and birds). The form of composition can be similar to the Chinese outline and paper-cutting techniques, the body is implicated with each other, and the point, line and surface are combined. The pattern units are basically continuous and repeated, in which a point of symmetry can always be found. Some also use stacked modeling to make the product with a feeling of relief.

Third, in the decorative design of iron art, it is necessary to consider the use of the object, the specific environment used, the decorative style of the environment, the tone of the material, etc., but also to consider the processing performance of iron art, weight, energy and the combination of other materials.

Fourth, in the design of patterns, the current style is still based on European and American style. Because people have always believed that the performance of iron art should be European and American sentiment, while the Eastern style is suitable for wood structure. In fact, artisan art can also express the Eastern style, but at present people are more advocating the Western aesthetic value. The pattern design of iron art is basically a texture design, using left and right, up and down, the center of symmetry and horizontal and vertical composition to expand the design, and the array pattern is composed of the screen. In form, there are solitaire and solitaire, solitaire and solitaire, solitaire and linear combination. Of course, these are determined according to the use of the function. A remarkable feature of iron art is that most of the products are composed of iron branches and iron bars, that is to say, iron art decoration presents a transparent feeling. This sense of transparency is one of its artistic characteristics.
