# Converted Rustic Guest Homes This Guest House Was Once a 200 Year Old Stable By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-09-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rustic-guest-home References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/200-year-old-stable-becomes-modern-guesthouse/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) This rustic guest home features contemporary elements that make the viewer forget that the space was once a 200 year old stable. The guest house was designed by 'Standard Studio' and is now called 'Little House in the Campo.' The designers ensured that the space retained its [original structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-burns) and some of its design elements in order to maintain the historic nature of the stable. The structure has a [wooden ceiling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fienile-n) that contributes to its rustic nature, while the rest of it is small but made up of comforting yet modern decor accents. The rustic guest home features a bed, lounge area, a fully functioning kitchen and a bathroom. This home offers contemporary amenities that are a step beyond its centuries old existing shell. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rustic-contemporary Fusion:** There is an opportunity for designers to transform old or historic spaces with contemporary elements while still preserving their original structure. - **Functional Tiny Homes:** Designers can create fully functional, comfortable and modern tiny homes while maximizing the use of small spaces. - **Sustainable Home Design:** There is demand for sustainable home design that incorporates aspects of green living to reduce environmental impact and promote a healthy lifestyle. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can innovate and think outside the box by taking old or historic spaces and creating modern and comfortable homes while preserving their original structure. - **Real Estate:** Real estate agents and property managers can showcase unique properties with innovative designs to attract buyers and renters. - **Sustainable Living:** Companies involved in sustainable living can partner with designers to incorporate green elements into home designs to promote a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flexible Tranquil Guesthouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campo-atelier.md) - [Revived Stone Sheds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microhome-renovation.md) - [Compact Stone Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figuier-house.md) - [Paris Stable-Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garibaldi.md) - [Renovated Rural Farmhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-place-in-the-country.md) - [Stone Ruin-Transformed Spanish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-1627.md) - [Farmhouse-Converted Vacation Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estancia-san-jos.md) - [Barn-To-Retreat Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amassa-retreat.md) - [Modern Tuscan Chapel Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pailunga-tuscan-chapel.md)
