The exterior appearance of the barn home plans in this collection draw inspiration from a typical barn structure. They often include a gambrel roof, barn doors, outdoor living spaces, and lots of windows. This style is continuing to gain popularity, along with its counterpart, the barndominium. Barndominium floor plans are similar structures that have the appearance of a pole barn and are designed as living space but include barn-like storage and working spaces.

As architecture shifts into more modern styles – with geometric lines and a minimalist appeal – more homeowners seek to hold onto the rustic charm and warmth of older architectural styles like barn inspired house plans. Some of the plans in this collection combine both traditional and modern features, creating a modern farmhouse feel.

For those looking for a warm home with timeless appeal, view our collection below.

Features of a Barn Style Home

The features of this style are what make these home designs highly desirable. These common details include:

• Exposed timber beams
• Gambrel style roof
• A front porch/ wrap-around porch
• Shiplap – either inside the home or used as house siding
• Open floor plan
• Barn doors
• Laundry/mud room
• High pitched ceilings
• Living space on second floor

Barndominiums have similar features while also including a shop or work area along with the living quarters. They are often metal buildings, but there are plenty of options that use more traditional building materials.

Though these styles are similar to the farmhouse category, their exteriors and interiors vary greatly.
