Hi Lucie. Regrettably we don't know, but the client bought it from France.

I agree with Jonathan, make sure you have dimmers so that you can vary the level of lighting. You need to consider different layers of lighting; pendants and downlighters will throw light down, whilst uplights either on the floor or walls will throw light up and illuminate the lovely beams you have. And don't forget lamps will throw another dimension in. Having the ability to vary these using dimmers gives you lots of versatility to create different moods depending on what you are using the space for. You may want to use some spotlights that you can angle to wash light down the walls or highlight a picture. If you can stretch to it, a system like Lutron gives you greater flexibility over what you can achieve with your lights. It's basically a super-duper, all-singing dimmer switch that can allow you to program different moods according to how you are using the room. For example, when eating in your dining room you may want some downlighters on a low setting providing a background ambient light whilst the feature lighting (ie. pendant &/or picture lights) are slightly brighter. It's the combination that will make it much more warm & inviting. Have a look at books by Sally Storey of John Cullen lighting (or their website) for more inspiration. Your 3rd picture was of Bocci 14 lights. These come individually or in groups (some custom made installations of these involving hundreds look absolutely incredible, with a price tag to match!). The actual dimensions of each ball though is only 10cm, so you may find you need quite a few to give you enough light & wow factor. We have used 2 of these chandeliers by Flos to light a similar space: http://www.davidvillagelighting.co.uk/product/Flos_2097_30-Arm/219.

Personally I'd go for wooden shutters , then when you get fed up with then you can paint them a nice complementary colour to suit your room decor.

A few pictures this time from the interior - specifically the hallway Animal Pens were the only real feature inside :) The door to the right is basically the position of the small stairs in the first picture. https://notesfromthebarn.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/barn-construction-before-and-after-2.html
