Affordable Modern Farmhouse

Modern farmhouse design takes the comfortable, relaxed farmhouse style and adds modern touches such as smooth lines, glossy accents, and neutral color schemes. It's less rustic, and more sophisticated and uses contemporary design elements like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and sleek lighting. Affordable means the materials and labor practices used are leaning towards the lower price cost.

Traditional farmhouses often feature semi-enclosed front porches, asymmetrical massing, and clapboard exteriors. Modern farmhouse house plans hold strong to the asymmetry of traditional design but lean into clean lines, modern materials, and neutral colors to add a contemporary edge to the design.

Common architectural features of modern farmhouse style homes include A-shaped or gable roofs, lots of windows, a large covered porch, carriage style garage doors, and vaulted ceilings in key areas that bring a sense of drama or grandeur to the interior.
