Recommendations for your Farmhouse
FARMHOUSE HOME EXTERIOR STYLE
Farmhouse-style homes have been around for centuries, originating in Europe before becoming popular in America in the 1700s. Rectangular in shape and usually two stories, the first American farmhouses were often built by the families who lived in them, so they were designed to be practical and to allow for additions to accommodate growing families.
Like traditional American farmhouses, modern farmhouse exterior style incorporates signature design elements such as large, covered porches and simple, neutral color palettes. Modern farmhouse exteriors also showcase features such as vertical board and batten siding, metal roofing, and lots of windows.

POPULAR FINISH OPTIONS FOR FARMHOUSE FRONT DOORS & WINDOWS
White is often the predominant color featured on modern farmhouse styles, which makes contrasting door and window colors such as deep browns or black stand out sharply. Warm brown door colors can add a welcoming feel to an otherwise stark color palette.
