The original farmhouse house plans were situated on agricultural land and offered a companion to the rugged functionality of the lifestyle and a place to relax at the end of a hard day's work; straightforward, purposeful, and with little ornamentation or elegant detailing, these homes were practical and sturdily built.
While not necessarily every sub-style of farmhouse floor plans includes each item, these are the standard design elements found in farmhouse plans:
- Practical and straightforward design elements
- Simple, rectangular, or square floor plans with one-and-a-half or two stories
- Light-colored exteriors with expansive or wraparound porches and overhead dormers
- Dominant fireplaces/exterior chimneys
- Formal front rooms with standard rooms and a large kitchen at the rear of the home
With interest in a simpler, "back to basics" lifestyle, many today are increasingly interested in building and living a "farmhouse" lifestyle, whether on a large parcel of land, in a rural area, or in a suburban neighborhood.
Often synonymous with a country lifestyle, both Farmhouse and Country house plans have similar feature design features on the exterior and interior. This ode to nostalgia results in comfortable, inviting, and sturdy homes built to last and provide shelter, warm rooms to gather in, and large amounts of outdoor space where entertaining and relaxing are enjoyable. This idyllic way of life has become so popular that entire blogs, magazines, and design sites have devoted the entirety of their content to the evolution of the Farmhouse, both on the exterior and interior of homes.
