Discover timeless farmhouse

Discover timeless farmhouse design for the modern homeowner: Practical, simple, and effortlessly beautiful.

The modern farmhouse is where cozy meets contemporary and is one of the most popular residential exterior and interior design styles. With peaceful and functional aesthetics, the perfect farmhouse can create a unique and idyllic living experience for you and your family.

Traditional farmhouse plans

Though they share many common characteristics, farmhouse style is generally separated into two distinct design aesthetics: traditional and modern. According to Architectural Digest, modern farmhouse ranks first in popularity in American home design, and traditional farmhouse ranks second.

True to the name, traditional farmhouse plans — also known as classic farmhouse plans — draw inspiration from the design aesthetic of rural homes and agricultural buildings. Classic farmhouse floor plans typically feature a simple rectangular or square floor plan, a gabled roof, and a front porch. Traditional farmhouse floor plans bring influence from more niche farmhouse home designs, like the farmhouse barndominium plans.

Common features of these old style farmhouse plans include natural materials like wood and stone, a functional layout, and a focus on simplicity and comfort. The style creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with rustic elements such as exposed beams, shiplap walls, and antique decor.

European farmhouse plans

Modern farmhouse plans give the classic American farmhouse a modern makeover, ditching some of the rustic elements and adding more sophisticated features. Keeping the country charm, but mixing in a modern or industrial look creates the perfect blend of refinement and familiarity. Modern farmhouse floor plans and exteriors are characterized by metal roofs, black grid windows, reclaimed wood beams, and industrial lighting. Using minimalism and sleek design can give your custom farmhouse that modern look you’re after.

Modern farmhouse plans

Modern farmhouse style is a design aesthetic influenced by American farmhouse plans that blend traditional elements with contemporary features. The modern farmhouse style ditches rustic elements in favor of more contemporary and sophisticated features, like grey kitchen cabinets. Modern farmhouse floor plans typically include an open living area, master suites with massive walk-in closets, clean lines, and neutral colors with natural wood and metal accents.

Modern farmhouse interiors often incorporate industrial touches, such as black metal fixtures, exposed pipes, and farmhouse stained concrete floors, to create a unique and contemporary look. Modern farmhouse decor often features antique or vintage pieces mixed in for contrast. Exteriors commonly take advantage of board and batten siding, large windows for natural light, wraparound porches, a gabled roof, and natural finishes such as wood and stone.

Overall, the modern farmhouse style provides functionality and simplicity with a warm and inviting atmosphere suitable for urban and rural living.

The perfect farmhouse.

Take the guesswork out of creating the perfect farmhouse.

Creating the perfect farmhouse can seem daunting — especially for first-time homeowners. Finding the right designers, builders, contractors, and engineers can be expensive and time-consuming. Unfortunately, overpriced architects and new contractors are more likely to underestimate the cost and time it takes to complete a project, leading to cost overruns and construction delays.
