If you are going to live in a former barn or your house features the same shape, you might be wondering how to work and decorate with such a configuration – a sloped roof, very high ceilings, wooden beams and lots of wood or stone in decor. We have some ideas to turn a barn into a beautiful living space, and today we are discussing barn kitchens and ways to style them right.
Choose A Style And A Color Scheme
Barn or rustic style is already in the DNA of your new home, so you may just add a vintage, contemporary or modern feel to the space. Barns are often done in neutrals like tan, creamy, white, grey, taupe and others but you may bring a contrasting touch to the space using black, navy, dark grey, rust and other colors like that. Earthy tones will also be very much in place in a barn, they will highlight the rustic nature of the house.

Add Furniture
Rustic kitchens may feature various cabinetry, stained cabinets will be the most rustic idea but you may also consider shaker style and many other.
