Rustic, modern, and full of intentional design details, farmhouse style homes are here to stay for a reason. This popular design showcases open layouts, barn-style doors, and wide plank flooring. The style lets you mix tradition with a modern touch, allowing for a contemporary twist. The neutral color palette, adorned with warm shades, creates a serene look while elements such as such as clean lines, warm woods, black accents, and industrial lighting contribute to the overall aesthetic. Farmhouse style homes use simple but meaningful decor, blending textures and vintage touches to create an inviting atmosphere, as showcased in our Covington Farmhouse at Retreat at Boyertown Farms.
Inspired by traditional farms, the modern farmhouse style home embodies an inviting architectural approach defined by design elements like gables, rooflines, and door and window trim. This traditional style focuses on open living areas, welcoming front porches, and exposed wood elements. Enabling the natural flow of light through interconnected rooms, the modern farmhouse creates an atmosphere reminiscent of traditional farmhouse living, providing a sanctuary to retreat to after a long day.
Elements of the farmhouse aesthetic typically incorporate a particular layout, color, and interior design accents. The following are design elements that define this farmhouse style home:

A modern farmhouse blends design elements from both country and contemporary aesthetics. The interior design often pairs rustic woods with modern metals. Simple wall treatments such as shiplap and minimal clutter tie the home design together. The exteriors incorporate shutters and a spacious front porch, creating a welcoming outdoor space. Modern farmhouse exterior paint colors typically include gray, metal, or black shades. Rustic lighting fixtures, reclaimed wood, and metal accents tie the farmhouse's modern style and the traditional farmhouse style together.
Modern farmhouse colors offer an effortless blend that is visually pleasing to the eyes. Some popular colors include warm and cool neutrals like white, brown, beige, and gray as well as natural earthy tones including greens, blues, and yellows.
The modern farmhouse style sets itself apart from other home styles through its combination of contemporary and rustic elements. Unlike other homes that may stick to specific architectural periods or design themes, modern farmhouses blend sleek lines and minimalistic designs with rustic textures and warmth. This style of home often features open floorplans and large windows and prioritizes simplicity, functionality, and timeless design.
