An increasing number of residents are seeking out barndominium spaces for living, whereby a barn is renovated into a unique home. The style has become so coveted that families are ordering pre-engineered buildings with a similar structure and look. Here are three current design ideas worth paying attention to as you contemplate adding a barndominium to your property. 

Barndominium Designs to Know About

1. Open Floor Plan

Carving up the modest size of a barndominium into different rooms can often feel a little constricting. By choosing an open floor plan, residents can freely move through the different zones of the house and never feel cramped. There’s also a much more seamless transition between the kitchen and the living area.

2. Bedroom Loft

To make the barndominium more dynamic, some designs call for a lofted area that includes a bedroom. The loft doubles as an interior balcony, so you can still enjoy the space of the structure. A staircase directly into the upper room creates some separation without making it difficult to move around. 

3. Veranda

Since the idea of a barn is connected to the land, it makes sense that popular barndominium designs would seek to connect with the outdoors. By adding a lovely veranda to the front of the structure, you can take in the outdoor air while still enjoying the shade. The overhang also gives the building more personality and character.
