Contemporary barndominiums and farm homes are redesigning the concept of living rural. They combine rural warmth with contemporary simplicity that is at the same time timeless and purposeful. At Modern Homesteads Design, we think that the home should be representative of your lifestyle, your property, and your aspirations - and that all begins with intentional custom home design that is one hundred percent unique.

The Rustic-Modern Parity in House Design

A rustic-modern house is lovely because the antique and the contemporary coexist. Rustic touches such as beams left exposed, reclaimed material, and natural texturing stabilize your house in the warmth, and contemporary finishes - slim metal detailing, high windows, and simple forms - bring a quiet and elegance. It works wonderfully with barndominiums and farmhouse styles, providing both designs with a timeless feel.

In our design process, we pay attention to material, layout, and proportion in order to ensure every room is intentional. If you’re designing a barndominium with an open layout or a farmhouse with timeless character, our priority is that our home works both in your taste as well as in the flow of your everyday life.

Principles of Interior Design for Farmhouses and Barndominiums

Exposed Structure as a Design Feature

Cozy bedroom with brick walls, wooden bed, and blue rug. Warm lights, abstract painting on wall, and ceiling fan create a calm ambiance.

Make the story the structure. Exposed beams, trusses, and metal frames can enhance the texture and integrity of your interior design. In combination with smooth drywall or wood paneling, they provide the best of raw and refined. It is one of the characteristic touches of contemporary house design.

Open-Concept Living Areas

Spacious modern living room with gray sofas, loft area, wooden beams, and dining table. Art frames and books decorate white walls. Cozy ambiance.

Open layouts encompass both barndominium and farmhouse design. They open the kitchen, the dining, and the living areas into one another, and they get a sense of connection and light. High, vaulted ceilings and well-placed windows enhance that open feel and keep the spaces cozy.

Mixing Organic and Fabricated Materials

Rustic-modern houses will combine the natural and industrial - such as, concreted floors with reclaimed beams, or matte-black hardware with white walls. It creates depth and visual excitement that is perfect in custom house design.

Cozy Farmhouse Feels in a Contemporary Plan

Add soft fabrics such as linen, leather, and knit rugs to minimalist rooms in order to keep the rooms warm. Ideal farmhouse rooms combine open areas with touches of texture, causing every room to feel lived-in and welcoming.

Custom Kitchen and Bath Design Information

Modern kitchen with marble walls, wood accents, and pendant lighting. Gray cabinets, wooden countertops, apples on island. Cozy atmosphere.

Your bathrooms and kitchens are the center of everyday life. Cabinetry design, through the installation of lighting, a considerate design ensures that usability and style go hand-in-hand. They're essential elements in any custom house design that works.

Lighting and Window Position for Country Views

Natural light revivifies any design. High windows and clerestory glass link the interior to your earth, and purposeful lighting provides ambiance after the sun goes down. Sun angles and sight lines get considered in the initial design process.

Personal Gestures that Make It Unique

All the details must tell your story. In-built shelving, loft areas, and tailored mudrooms keep your home useful and unique. No two farmhouses or barndominiums we design are identical, that's the beauty of custom home design.

Designing a Custom Home That Feels Like Home

All our homes begin with a discussion about the way you live. How often do you cook? Do you work from home? Entertain family and friends? Your daily habits dictate the layout, material, and movement of your home. That’s why our process for home design is all about lifestyle leading the way.

From initial concept sketches through final construction plans, we assist clients in bringing their space to life through comprehensive floor plans, 3D drawings, and construction-ready documents. At the focus is natural light, efficient flow, and timeless beauty - creating your dream home from the foundation up.
