Whether for a new build, renovation, or looking for a home, “open floor plan” or “open concept” has been the keyword for many homeowners for the last decade. These spaces mix the living area, dining room, and kitchen into a single “great room”, meaning you get more communal living space. That also means you waste less of your interior space on interior walls, so you maximize every bit of the interior of your home. Barndominiums don’t need interior supporting walls. That gives you more freedom to create wide-open spaces, with great rooms that are as large as you want. That means it’s easier than ever to create sweeping communal spaces where you can socialize, cook, work, and play together. These 10 open concept barndominium floor plans highlight that and help you take advantage of your space.
