Choose A Style And Colors

Embrace Rustic Features
First of all, embrace double-height windows that barns often feature – don’t cover them with heavy draperies, let natural light flood your spaces. If you have skylights, do the same – enjoy the light! Almost every barn has wooden beams on the ceiling, so if they require staining or painting, do that but keep them up – this is a beautiful decor feature that highlights the style. Though wooden beams can make a space darker if they are too many, so keep it in mind if you are going to add some yourself. Now let’s speak about the main piece in the room, the fireplace. Embrace your fireplace or hearth repainting or restoring it if needed or even changing a little bit but keep it in place, it will add incredible charm and coziness to the space.
