Whether you favor a glance all about rustic country, the surprise of an ultra-modern interior or a smart mix of both these beautiful barn conversions are a world away from their humble agricultural beginnings. Few of us may never have the chance to complete our own metamorphosis of the barn, but one can dream ...

juxtapose old and new
the wood-frame 17th century contrasts sharply with the extent spiral staircase made of glass, creating a wonderful juxtaposition of ancient and modern. The mixture of eras was conducted through a furniture, too, with the old master and contemporary sculptural chair echoing the old meets the new theme.

Keep it simple
Less is sometimes more, especially when you have so many beautiful architectural features. Rather than bringing too much furniture and too many colors that could harm the purity of lines, the owners of the barn chose furniture that are connected to the environment, such as the tree trunk table echoing the oak beams above and gray sofa supersized that links with slate hearth.

Expose the fabric of the building
a barn converted successfully offer a careful balance of the original stonework exposed and smooth plaster walls - the key word here is balance. Too stone is overwhelming, while too plaster hiding the building's history.
This environment is perfect for industrial-type kitchen like this, which proves that there is much more realistic option than sticking to the combo of Shaker units expected teamed with traditional country an Aga.

Enjoy high ceilings
the great height of this beautifully converted barn must have been a dream for the architect, and the addition of a mezzanine floor was clearly essential to make the most of space. Just like good photography follows the rule of thirds, here the space visually was cut into three, with the beams dictating the proportions.
Barns of a smaller size may also have a mezzanine area, if even just to squeeze in a cozy reading corner.

mix your windows
a trio of different sources of natural light will transform any space throughout the day as the sun makes its way around the building. In this conversion of the barn, the owner opted for a roof light above the kitchen area, folding doors by the dining table and a glass ceiling section that continues right the way to the floor on each side . Variety is the key to its success.

Create an oversized focal point
When dealing with cavernous spaces, zoning helps to divide open space into pieces more manageable. One of the best features to define your living space is a supersized custom fireplace. A standard size fireplace would look lost in the barn, so the owners have opted for a modern curved design with a pipe up to roof height.
Alternatively the reuse of original brick outbuildings demolished or those of recovered supplies is a great way to build a new home XXL with old world charm.

reconsider door openings
When faced with the luxury of a new beginning with the interior walls, why play it safe with openings of conventional doors and doors of standard size? A converted barn offers the perfect opportunity to reflect on vaulted or extra-wide doors, with or without doors.

be subtle with lighting
As the beams are the stars of the show in this old barn, the owners have chosen track lighting which discreetly puts their beauty . As the fasteners can be attached to the walls on each side, there is no need to drill and potentially damage the original wood. The simplicity of this lighting allows the building structure to really shine through.

Capitalize on location
An isolated barn throws up so many opportunities when your closest neighbors are likely to be cows or sheep. So if privacy is not an issue, enjoy the splendid isolation with a fully glazed gable. Illuminated at night, it offers the ultimate in curb appeal - without the sidewalk
