Herschel 2-Bedroom Barndominium House Plan with Oversized Shop Garage (1,108 Sq. Ft. Floor Plan)

There’s a specific kind of couple this house was drawn for: the ones who share a roof, a kitchen island, and approximately zero interest in each other’s weekend projects — where one person wants the open living room and the other wants a bay big enough to park a project truck next to a workbench, and neither one should have to compromise. The Herschel gives both of them what they want, with a single-story layout that keeps the living end connected and an oversized shop garage that gets its own square footage, its own door, and its own life.

Floor Plan – Main Floor

The living room, dining area, and kitchen share one open run across the right side of the plan, with the patio accessible off the dining space. Both bedrooms sit at the top and share a bath between them — Bedroom 2 gets a walk-in closet. A utility room and pantry round out the living side before you hit the oversized shop garage, which takes up the entire left half of the footprint.

Rattan Chandelier, Glass Table, Two Rooms Playing Nice Together

Open-concept done right looks exactly like this. The two-tier rattan chandelier anchors the dining area without getting into a fight with the kitchen’s pendant light, and the brown leather chairs around the glass-top table keep things grounded while the white cabinetry stays clean behind them. Nothing here is competing for attention, which is harder to pull off than it looks.

Concrete Floors, Warm Wood, and a Kitchen Island That Pulls Everything Together

White upper cabinets sit above dark lower drawers fitted with brass pulls — a combination that reads warm without going full farmhouse. Concrete floors run straight into the living area. Three white rattan barstools line the island, and a gold pendant drops just low enough to feel deliberate rather than accidental.

Blush Ottomans and a Real Fireplace Make This Living Room Work Harder Than It Looks

Two stacked blush ottomans pull double duty as footrests and extra seating near the fireplace, which is doing most of the heavy lifting in this room. A pearl garland drapes the dark wood mantel shelf, soft against the matte black TV mount above it. The rug’s faded botanical pattern keeps the whole thing from feeling too put-together, and a mini-split on the wall handles climate without eating up ceiling space.

Rattan Light, Glass Table, and a Yard That Comes Right to the Door

A woven rattan pendant drops over a round glass table ringed by dark walnut chairs, and the sliding glass doors pull the lawn into the room without you having to do anything. Concrete floors tie it back to the rest of the house. Small dining area, but it doesn’t feel small.

Deer Mount, Iron Bed Frame, and Sconces That Actually Earn Their Place

Floating nightstands keep the floor clear, which matters in a room this size. A wooden deer mount and a textured quilt nudge the space toward cabin-adjacent without fully committing, and that olive throw lands exactly where someone actually sleeps — not artfully folded at the foot of the bed for a photo shoot.

Gold Mirror, Black Faucet, and a Vanity Cabinet That Means Business

Dark walnut cabinetry with brass hardware is a pairing you don’t often see pulled off this cleanly — usually one finish overwhelms the other, but here they split the difference. A matte black faucet against white quartz countertop creates contrast without announcing itself, and pampas grass in a squat black vase keeps the whole thing from drifting into showroom territory. The gold shelf unit over the toilet earns its square footage without crowding the room.

1. Over-toilet shelving works best open-frame, so visual weight stays low
2. Matte black fixtures pair with warm wood tones better than polished chrome does
3. A single organic element like dried grass can anchor a room’s color story without adding clutter

Plaid Loveseat, Wood Chest, and Wall Rings That Somehow Hold It Together

Plaid upholstery doesn’t usually share a room with a Persian-style rug this peacefully. A wood storage chest doubles as a coffee table, the metal ring wall art keeps things from reading too serious, and somehow the whole room holds together — which is either good editing or good luck, probably both.

Pin It

The exterior shows a white board-and-batten barndominium with a two-car garage door and a covered patio. The floor plan below lays out two bedrooms, a shared bath, open kitchen and dining, and a 38×37 shop garage that dominates the left half of the building — which is the whole point of this plan.
