About this collection

Modern Farmhouse Patio Ideas, explained.

Modern farmhouse patios take the language of the working farm — gabled roofs, board-and-batten siding, standing-seam metal, cedar posts and porches — and pair it with black window frames, white paint and clean landscaping. The result is warm without being fussy.

Watch how the best patio designs keep the palette to three or four materials and let the lawn and planting do the softening. Save the ones whose proportions match your house, then keep the furniture simple.

Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
