Family-Friendly Barndominium Design: Tips for Creating a Home that Grows with You

Written By Jason Mitchell

When designing a family-friendly barndominium, it's essential to consider the needs of your family both now and in the future. Here are some tips for creating a space that grows with your family:

Open Floor Plans: An open floor plan is a great way to create a spacious living area that can accommodate your growing family. This design allows for natural light to flow through the space, making it feel more inviting.

Durable Materials: Choose materials that can withstand wear and tear, such as concrete floors, shiplap walls, and metal roofing. They're easy to clean and maintain, making them perfect for families with kids.

Multi-Functional Rooms: Create multi-functional rooms that can serve multiple purposes, such as a guest room that can also be used as a home office, or a playroom that can double as a media room.

Plenty of Storage: Storage is key in a family-friendly barndominium. Consider built-in shelving, closets, and other storage solutions that can accommodate your growing family's needs.

Outdoor Space: Outdoor space is essential when designing a family-friendly barndominium. Consider a covered patio or porch where your family can spend time together, and where kids can play outside safely.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
