Farmhouse Features Traditional or Modern - It's all about Simplicity

Country farmhouse plans are as varied as the regional farms they once presided over. Born on hundred-acre spreads in rural America, family-friendly Farmhouse plans fit right in with suburban lifestyles too.

A classic farmhouse had a simple rectangular floor plan and included a centrally located fireplace for cooking and heating. But today’s Modern farmhouse designs might remind some design-lovers of a Craftsman-style home with natural elements which boast careful symmetry.

Most of today’s classic farmhouses include interior features such as:

  • Natural wood
  • Soft colors
  • Fireplace
  • Beamed ceilings
  • Spacious, cozy kitchens
  • Large living spaces

Exterior features are what make the farmhouse most recognizable. They were built to house families without feeling cluttered or overcrowded. Its exterior features remain simple, yet memorable:

  • Gabled roofs
  • Large or wraparound veranda
  • Clean, simple lines
  • Clapboard wooden sliding
  • Neutral, earthy color scheme

Building your Ranch House - Distinguishing Traits

A Ranch house, also known as a Rancher or Rambler is a popular style of home. The original Ranch style homes date back to the 1920's and became increasingly popular  in the suburbs after WWII and with the passing of the GI Bill in 1944, after millions of soldiers returned to civilian life.  

                                                                  Lindal Ranch style featured in a Lindal 1950's house plan book

Traditional ranch style homes are single-story houses commonly built with an open-concept layout and a devoted patio space. They often feature long, low-pitch rooflines and large windows. 

A ranch style home is generally recognized by 3 distinguishing traits:

All One Level - A ranch style home is usually a low-lying, one story house. One level living makes the ranch style home attractive because it provides the convenience of having everything accessible on one floor.

Open concept floor Plan - Creates a sense of openness and connection and provides for greater traffic flow. Every room flows into the next effortlessly and blends with the outdoors. 

Seamless transition from Inside to Outside - Floor plans for ranch style homes are designed to be informal and relaxed. Great rooms open to courtyards, decks and pools through large doors and expansive windows that allow natural light in and blur the distinction between the inside and out.
