A farmhouse style home is a type of architectural design that is characterized by its traditional and practical appearance, often evoking feelings of nostalgia for a simpler way of life. These homes are typically made of wood, brick or stone and have a simple and functional design, with a symmetrical facade, a central front door, and evenly spaced windows. They often have a pitched roof, either gable or hip, and a central chimney. The interiors are often characterized by warm and inviting spaces, with a mix of vintage and modern elements, such as exposed beams, fireplace, and hardwood floors. They often have large and functional kitchens, and a sense of connection to the outdoors, with large porch or patio areas. The color schemes are often neutral, with white, beige or gray as the dominant colors, and the decor is often rustic or vintage with a mix of antique and modern furniture.
