If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a big house in the countryside, a barn conversion might be one option to consider. When interiors blogger Kat bought her converted Leicestershire barn back in 2015, she had big plans for its future.

After several years of hard work, including a full top-to-bottom refurb and kitchen conversion, the results are simply stunning. You can see more on Insta @thebarnrenovation but for now let’s take a peek inside…

The fabulous open-plan kitchen is filled with light from the roof lantern, three pendant lights and a Hampton and Astley Sandalwood & Cedar scented candle.

In keeping with the period style of the barn, the kitchen conversion created a brand new 'bootility' room, complete with belfast sink and antique brass taps.
