How to Turn an Old Garage into a Dream Home

This house in Canada was once a livestock barn, but the owners managed to convert it into a luxurious chalet with nine-meter-high ceilings, preserving the layout. The zoning was done using barn beams: it turned out cozy with a farm-style touch.

The interior of the house is designed according to all the principles of the chalet style: wood, marble, light tones, and natural daylight streaming through wide windows. It feels like stepping outside to breathe in the freshness of the Alps.

The kitchen in the house is connected to the living room. Here, maximum simplicity reigns so nothing distracts from the natural landscapes outside the window. The kitchen features large work zones, a marble kitchen island, a large dining table, and listing appliances or storage spaces is unnecessary. There's even space for more in this kitchen. Interestingly, directly opposite the dining table is a balcony offering a stunning view of the forest.

To the right is the living room. This is where everything important for a country house resides: a fireplace, books, and comfortable sofas.

On the second floor is the bedroom. In the center of the room stands a classic bed with a wooden frame. To avoid taking up space with bedside tables, the owners came up with a solution using wall shelves. As in all rooms of the house, there is a wide window here that adds lightness and airiness to the room.

Another feature of the house is a pool with lighting.
