How to Turn an Old Barn into a Dream Home

This house in Canada was previously a barn for livestock, 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 farmhouse style reference.

The interior of the house is designed according to all the principles of the chalet style: wood, marble, light tones, and daylight that flows through wide windows. It feels like you step outside and 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 there's no need to list appliances or storage spaces. Everything fits in this kitchen and even more. Interestingly, right opposite the dining table is a terrace that offers a spectacular view of the forest.

To the right is the living room. Everything important for a country house is here: a fireplace, books, and comfortable sofas.

On the second floor is the bedroom. A classic bed with a wooden frame stands in the center of the room. To avoid occupying space with bedside tables, the owners thought of a wall-mounted shelving solution. Here, as in all rooms of the house, there is a wide window that adds airiness to the bright room.

Another feature of the house is a pool with lighting.
