The farmhouse style is diverse and based on homes built in farming communities across North America. Farmhouse plans come in one- and two-story layouts and typically include front and back porches, or a wraparound porch that hugs multiple corners. Traditional interiors feature family gathering areas, grouped bedrooms, formal front rooms, and country kitchens, but many of today's farmhouses are designed with open layouts and split bedrooms.
Farmhouse-style homes are incredibly adaptable. While they are usually built on large pieces of land, you'll also find them in suburban developments now. They also have a variety of regional differences—just compare a farmhouse in a New England orchard to one beside fields of grain in the Great Plains. If you're looking for a farmhouse, you'll find historically inspired plans as well as more universal styles that will fit in anywhere these days.
Farmhouses have A-shaped or gable roofs, plenty of windows, covered porches, and great kitchens. They can be finished traditionally or with contemporary style, so some are more visually complex with porch railings and divided lites while others are streamlined. You'll also find formal and informal interior layouts in the mix. If you're in the market for a farmhouse-style home, you'll have to be more specific to zero in on what you want!
