Standout Barndominium Interior Ideas

A wide variety of metal products can help create interiors with rustic and industrial feelings.


Metal Wall Panels

Wainscoting is a panel that is placed on the lower portion of a wall. It helps to protect from scuff marks and also adds a great decorative accent to a room.


It is found frequently in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, foyers, and mudrooms. Some people will also use it in garages and basement spaces.

Metal wall panels can also be used in larger sizes to cover an entire wall. This is a great idea for a divider wall. The usually need to be a custom-sized panel or a large panel.

Metal Ceilings

Ceilings in barndominiums are usually very big, vaulted ceilings. Because barndominium ceilings are so large, a metal ceiling really stands out. 


One of the best ways to create metal ceilings in barndominiums is with custom-sized Dakota Tin pieces, so that large pieces can be used for faster application. Some people also use wainscoting panels and larger panels for ceilings.

Traditional metal ceiling tiles could also be used - they will create a much different look than panels but will also take longer to install.

Metal Backsplashes

In a kitchen, or even in a bathroom behind the sink, backsplashes allow a space to really apply some accents.

While Dakota Tin products are not officially food-grade or food-safe materials, some people do use them in kitchens.** The strips of Dakota Tin edging have been used for backsplash areas - with heights from 4”-15” and coming 10’ long, the edging can easily be cut with tin snips. Some homeowners have also used the tiles, wainscoting and custom-sized pieces to fit into backsplash areas.



Metal Cabinet and Bar Facings

An easy and affordable way to add a metal accent to your space is to use it for cabinet, island or bar facing. Cabinets in bathrooms or kitchens can have a metal panel added to them - usually in a custom-sized metal. Metal wainscoting panels usually work for lining the pedestals of kitchen islands and bars.
