The Story
The idea for Barndominium Ideas came from the television. Our founder had never heard of barndominiums until watching an episode of the popular TV show Fixer Upper. After falling in love with the idea of a barndominium, which offers more space and versatility compared to a traditional home, we found a lack of information on the topic online.
The internet has very little help when it comes to barndominiums, which led to the creation of this website. We built Barndominium Ideas to compile the best information in one place.

You can explore the benefits of barndominiums, find answers to your questions, and get the best ideas for building your dream barndominium.

What is a Barndominium?
If you are just discovering barndominiums for the first time, you may not know what to think of these interesting homes. A barndominium is traditionally a “barn” and a “condominium” combined.
The first barndominiums included a living area built around an open space used as a barn, garage, or workshop. Barndominiums also typically include metal frames. The metal frame allows for more design options, such as open floor plans and taller ceilings.
Barndominiums may also offer greater energy efficiency and protection against the elements. A barndominium can offer many advantages, but you still need to research your options and explore ideas, which is where we come in. Barndominium Ideas contains a vast selection of articles on barndominiums.
