No. 80 Pergolas · Modern Farmhouse
Dark Timber Pergola with Louvered Roof
Beside a white board-and-batten modern farmhouse with black windows, a metal roof, and a covered porch, a timber pergola with a louvered roof shades an outdoor kitchen on bluestone pavers.
Design notes
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.
What to look for
- Clearance under the beams — 8 to 10 feet feels right
- Slat spacing and orientation against the afternoon sun
- Posts placed outside the furniture, never through it
