The Threshing Barn
18th Century Barn Conversion in East Riding
The Threshing Barn: furnishing a holiday home
The Threshing Barn is an 18th-century barn conversion near Gilberdyke in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The property brings a historic farm building into use as a holiday home, with a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen space beneath a galleried landing.
Genesis worked with the owner, Sarah, on furnishing and styling the property. The photographs show how the seating, dining furniture and bedroom pieces sit within the barn’s scale and character, alongside the kitchen island and statement staircase.
In a large shared space, furniture needs to be considered as a complete arrangement. Seating should support comfortable conversation, dining needs its own usable space, and routes between the kitchen, stairs and living area need to remain clear. Our open-plan design guide explores these decisions for homes of different sizes.
For a holiday property, a furnishing brief also needs to consider everyday guest use, storage and the practical care of selected pieces. Explore our holiday-let interiors service to learn more about bringing furniture and styling choices together.
