Minimalist country barn house tour

I love being able to see different types of homes and interiors, as I often draw inspiration when furnishing my own home after making different observations. This lovely barn house on the Central Coast of California is a great example of how to keep an interior minimal, intentional, yet also visually interesting and balanced. Watch the video above for a tour of this space, and find photos below. This home is going to make you want to fix up a barn for yourself to enjoy the countryside.

The more I draw inspiration from different types of homes, the more I realize the importance of combining different styles and pieces from different eras, as a delicate balance of different designs is often more visually attractive. Taking time to find unique, secondhand pieces and pairing them in an intelligent way can make a simple space stand out a little more - it's those little details that can make your space feel more like home.

An intentionally furnished and decorated kitchen full of warmth and minimalism.

The mix of vintage-inspired pieces and details, wood, and white create balance and visual interest.

The dining area combines a balance of different textures yet also stays cohesive in overall tone.

Minimalist doesn’t have to be without color - adding a statement color and building around with textures and tones can make a space come to life.

Balance out dark pieces with light, and don’t be afraid to mix textures.

Marble and metal can be made warm with wood tones, plants, and a mix of hardware colors.

A dark stained wood can be lifted with lighter fabrics and wood textures.

Floor length linen curtains make the barn shaped ceilings appear taller, and a touch of green brings some life to the room.

The perfect place to watch the sunset.
