1. The Entry
Modern farmhouse house plans combine classic country character with contemporary layouts and home design trends. This type of home plan typically features an open floor plan and lots of big windows for ample light. Furthermore, rustic materials like reclaimed wood, barn-style doors, and other vintage decor may be utilized.
One of the hallmarks of farmhouse homes is their front porches - often larger and accommodating large crowds, these spaces serve as gathering spots where family and friends can congregate during sunny afternoons for some casual conversation and some refreshing lemonade.
Inside a modern farmhouse, its interior typically boasts a neutral color palette and uses both natural and man-made materials for flooring and wall coverings. Antique fixtures and furnishings should only be added sparingly to not overcrowd the space.
Sliding barn doors are an obvious choice for this style of home, as they allow users to separate areas within an open floor plan while opening them up when guests arrive. This home plan's entryway opens to a convenient mudroom and two-car garage, which can also feature an optional finished basement (see options below). Upstairs there's room for privacy with a primary suite and two secondary bedrooms providing plenty of privacy for their residents.

7. The Garage
Farmhouse plans originated on large acreage farms, yet today provide plenty of room for families. These flexible house plans typically feature wide footprints with dormers and wood frame construction as well as porches for outdoor living and spacious country kitchens. Some farmhouse designs even come equipped with walkout basements.
As cars became more commonplace, garages became an integral part of house footprints. This allows residents to transition directly from home to car without leaving the building during inclement weather, eliminating the need to leave. Many garages even come equipped with an integral mudroom where dirty shoes, wet coats and umbrellas can be dropped before entering living areas; built-in lockers or laundry rooms may even help keep things organized!
