7. The Coastal Driftwood Barn

Perfect for a world filled with beaches and islands, the Coastal Barn feels like it was built from the bounty of the sea.

The Aesthetic: Dark Oak, Spruce, and Blue Stained Glass. The wood should feel weathered.

Architectural Tips: Use Stripped Dark Oak logs to create a “beached” look. Build the barn on stilts over the water or right on the sand. Use trapdoors as window shutters and incorporate barrels and crates around the exterior to make it feel like a working port warehouse. The juxtaposition of the dark wood against the light sand and blue water is incredibly photogenic.
