30X40 Barndominium Floor Plans
When it comes to Barndominiums, 30×40 floor plans can offer you a unique combination of convenience and comfort. From spacious living areas to ample storage space, these plans have everything you need for a comfortable lifestyle. However, there are some important things to consider when choosing a 30×40 barndominium floor plan for your new home.
30×40 Barndominium Floor Plans Things to Consider
When considering 30×40 Barndominium floor plans, there are a few important factors to consider. First, think about the size of your family and how much space you need to accommodate them comfortably. You’ll want to make sure that there is enough room for everyone in the home and that all necessary amenities are easily accessible. Additionally, you’ll need to consider the layout of the plan—does it provide sufficient privacy when needed as well as ample collective space? Before planning and designing your very own floor plan, you must factor in some important aspects.
Lifestyle
A barndo with a 30’ x 40’ floor area is best for a small family with one or two children. The parents can have the master’s suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, while each child may occupy their own bedroom. They have the option to share a bathroom to maximize space.
If you are newlyweds this barndominium floor plan will be the perfect size for starting your new life together and a great starter home.
If you are looking to retire and size down with this floor plan you will find you ample space for gathering together in the common areas but the right size to not spend your days cleaning and organizing.
Surroundings
If you are fortunate to own the land in a place with an amazing view, consider using large windows and installing them strategically. This way, you can still enjoy the scenic landscape when the weather requires you to stay indoors.
Consider adding a back porch where you can lounge on the weekends, or make space for a play area for your kids. You can even consider having a sliding door leading to a balcony from the master’s bedroom as well.
Traffic Flow
When designing a home, it’s important to plan for the traffic flow in and out of different rooms. For example, if you have a family room and kitchen on opposite sides of the house, consider a hallway or open space that runs between them.
This will allow people to move freely throughout the home without having to constantly backtrack or pass through tight spaces. When planning bedrooms and bathrooms, take into account how family members will use each—is one person likely to be getting ready while another is already in bed? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you design a floor plan that works best for your needs.
Closets and Storage
Couples and small families normally don’t have much stuff to require a lot of storage space. So, bedroom closets might also have sufficient space to store out-of-season clothing, as well as towels and linen.
However, you should still include a utility room for cleaning appliances and repair equipment. This can double as storage for holiday décor, luggage, and travel or party accessories.
You may also take advantage of the walls and ceiling of the laundry area. It’s a great place to store bulky items such as comforters, curtains, and winter jackets.
Parking
The best part of owning a barndominium is its flexibility, both inside and out. For the exterior, you can choose the kind of parking space you want depending on your needs. It can be a carport, a garage, or a paved driveway.
30×40 Barndominium Kits
If you’re looking to start building your barndominium, one of the first things to do is to get a quote for a barndominium kit. By using the quote service below, you’ll get connected with a barndominium kit provider within a few hours at most.
While some builders will help you order the barndominium kit, we suggest doing it separately to avoid a potential markup on the barndominium kit.
That’s it! By using the tool above you’ll get connected with a kit provider for 30×40 barndominium kits.
