Gina Baran Interiors + Design in collaboration with Ambrose Custom Builders has created this barn-inspired family getaway in Woodstock, Vermont. The region has always felt like a second home to the clients. After spending numerous winters there, the owners envisioned creating their idyllic vacation retreat in this breathtaking setting. With mountains on one side and a lake on the other, this location highlights Vermont’s year-round beauty.

In collaboration with the homeowners, the project team created a modern feel to this barn wood-enclosed home. Bringing in plaids in every room they could, and pairing modern finishes with rustic textures, this home truly speaks to its surroundings and the owner’s lifestyle.

The aesthetic of this home can be captured in three words: elevated, approachable, and comfortable. The designer envisioned a blend of Ralph Lauren with clean lines and simplicity, allowing the stunning outdoor views to take center stage. The interior complements the exterior, enhancing rather than competing with the natural beauty.

Above: Gaining inspiration from Pinterest, the homeowner envisioned having swings (topped with tufted leather) in the main living space for a fun way to hang out. They are situated between the kitchen island and the dining area.

This home is constructed from reclaimed barn wood sourced dilapidated barns found all over Vermont.

What We Love: This Vermont barn-inspired home provides a wonderful getaway, with boundless outdoor activities — from hiking in the summers and skiing in the winters. We love how the designers created warm and inviting living spaces with clean lines that would not detract from the stunning views of nature through large windows. Lastly, the hanging swings are such a fun detail!
