Gaining popularity for their relatively inexpensive building cost and multi-purpose living and working usage, barndominiums\u2014also known as “barndos”\u2014are barn-style houses with large, open floor plans that typically range from 1,500 to 2,500 sq. ft. Whether you’re considering building a new barndominium or renovating the flooring in an existing structure, these eight flooring ideas will ensure your space is both comfortable and stylish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Reduce Noise With Luxury Vinyl Flooring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Affordable luxury vinyl flooring<\/a> offers the timeless look of wood or stone with exceptional durability, making it a perfect choice for your barndominium. With wear layers up to 28 mil., luxury vinyl planks help absorb noise while providing comfort underfoot. Easy to install and maintain, this versatile flooring comes in a wide range of realistic wood<\/a> and stone<\/a> designs to match your style. Plus, because it\u2019s a 100% waterproof material, it\u2019s ideal for bathrooms and entryways. (Thinking about a DIY project? Read our complete guide on How to Install Vinyl Flooring<\/a> to learn more.)<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Choose Laminate Flooring for Easy Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like luxury vinyl, laminate<\/a> is a durable, easy-to-install, and low-maintenance flooring option that replicates the look of real wood. The key difference between the two is water resistance: laminate is not a waterproof material, so we recommend avoiding it in spaces like bathrooms, laundry rooms, outdoor spaces, or anywhere else where floors will experience exposure to high amounts of moisture. Available in a variety of wood-look designs\u2014including herringbone<\/a> patterns\u2014laminate flooring offers both beauty and affordability. <\/p>\n\n\n

3. Showcase Your Personality With Patterned Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If wood isn\u2019t your style\u2014or if you want to distinguish a specific area of your barndo\u2014patterned tile offers a stylish solution. From floral to geometric, these designs let you showcase your personality and unique aesthetic. In this charming barndo mudroom designed by @plmdesignsllc<\/a>, Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile<\/a> adds character with its whimsical floral pattern, inspired by the iconic British brand\u2019s textiles. Explore our wide selection of patterned tile<\/a> to find the perfect look for your space.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Add Distinction With Natural Stone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While synthetic materials deliver style, durability and affordability, natural stone brings a one-of-a-kind character to your space\u2014perfect for adding distinction to a prefab barndominium. In this @saramoltumyr<\/a>-designed space, the natural beauty of Andoni Black slate tile<\/a> creates a striking focal point. Like man-made tile, stone is a hard material, so it won\u2019t absorb noise as effectively as vinyl or engineered hardwood. However, when used in an entryway, it sets a sophisticated, welcoming tone.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Protect Your Floors With Wood-Look Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof and scratch-resistant, wood-look porcelain or ceramic tile<\/a> delivers both style and durability. Ideal for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms or entryways, it\u2019s even suitable for showers and wet rooms\u2014allowing you to bring the warmth of wood into spaces where real wood isn\u2019t practical. However, because tile is a hard material, it won\u2019t absorb noise as effectively as luxury vinyl or hardwood, making it a better choice for secondary rooms rather than main living spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Extend the Floor With Versatile Cement-Look Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cement is a popular flooring choice for barndominiums, but if you\u2019d prefer to avoid the upkeep of regular sealing, cement-look tile (like the Softcement Graphite tile<\/a> shown here) provides a stylish, durable and low-maintenance alternative. It\u2019s also more versatile than cement, giving you the option to extend the look onto walls\u2014or even a half-wall, as seen in this chic industrial-style bathroom designed by West Bay Homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

7. Add Natural Beauty With Engineered Hardwood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable, durable and easy to install and maintain, engineered hardwood<\/a> delivers natural beauty in a modern format. Consisting of a real wood veneer and a composite eucalyptus core (up to 15 mm thick), it also helps absorb sound, reducing echo in your open-plan barndominium. This makes it an excellent flooring solution for your great room, especially if you want to bring a natural element into your home.<\/p>\n\n\n

8. Keep Comfortable With In-Floor Heat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Luxury vinyl, laminate, tile, stone and engineered hardwood all share one key advantage: compatibility with in-floor heat<\/a>. A barndominium\u2019s large, open footprint can make heating more challenging, but heated floors provide added warmth and comfort from the ground up\u2014keeping your space cozy even during the coldest months.<\/p>\n\n\n
