We help make new barn conversion kitchens the center of your home.

A barn kitchen design opens a limitless number of possibilities, where you can utilise the spacious lofty ceilings, original wooden beams, rustic stone walls and floors - to create a unique space to work, rest and play within. A barn kitchen design does not have to follow suit and be of a traditional style; adding a modern twist with contemporary design; whilst exposing the natural and organic elements of the barn structure will create a warm and charming ambience. 

Your new barn conversion kitchen can be a fusion of styles

A classic mix of traditional features and cabinetry such as the Shaker kitchen style can enhance the overall space of a modern barn kitchen. You can still benefit from state-of-the-art kitchen appliances and cooking technology to ensure your kitchen is practical and highly functional - but these can be hidden away and integrated out of sight, leaving a clean, minimal but traditional and classic feel adorned with original features. There are many kitchen ideas available so you can explore and embrace the size and scale that a barn offers. The high beamed ceilings give a unique chance to potentially display hanging pendant lights, over a central island. An open plan kitchen design will also ensure you receive ample light, opening an expansive area where you can cook and socialise.

Why not consider natural kitchen elements to complement your new barn conversion kitchen design

Barns benefit from being multifaceted with natural, appealing features from stone walls, rustic floors, and the unmistakable wooden beams that most people will want to show off and for hanging items such as feature lamps and lighting. With so many fitted kitchens to consider, it is imperative to capture the overall tone and ambience of the style you wish to convey. A traditional classic kitchen will work wonderfully in a barn setting. However, a contemporary kitchen style with classic features will work just as well, so a modern grey kitchen would not be out of place surrounded by wood beams and stone walls. It would be enhanced by the overall contrast and deliver a fresh and vibrant combination of timeless and traditional. When visiting our kitchen displays, you can talk through your ideas and view some of the kitchen installations for inspiration. You can immerse yourself in ideas and view combinations of how your natural barn features could complement your desired kitchen style. 

Given your available space in your barn conversion property, why not consider a kitchen island?

One of the most notable features for any style kitchen, subject to space, is the central island. Some of the best open plan kitchens, be it a classic or an ultra-modern design, will benefit from an island zone. An island kitchen for barn conversions is almost guaranteed. In their natural state, barns are large spaces, ideal for open plan purposes and will most definitely offer the potential for a large central kitchen hub. The kitchen island is where family and friends can congregate, cook together, and socialise. It is the epicentre of many new open plan kitchen installations and offers further work and storage space with the opportunity to add chairs and stalls, making a great breakfast bar.
