Grey Barndominium Ideas That You Should Look Into
To display the vast possibilities of how grey barndominiums can be customized, we have included several barndominium ideas that you can incorporate into your barndo design.
1. Shades of Grey
Do you know what works well with grey? Another shade of grey! A grey barndo can be accentuated with a darker or lighter shade of grey. The example above beautifully incorporates dark grey accents into the home. Dark trims and two-toned cladding create depth and contrast.
2. Stone and Timber Accents
Earth colors and textures are the classic design elements for a grey barndominium. It adds a warm and familiar feel that creates a welcoming atmosphere. In this example, the supporting structure of the porch is used to the home’s advantage. Stone cladding is then used to complement the rustic exterior.
