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

  • Depth — eight feet for chairs, ten or more for a table or a swing
  • How the steps and railings meet the walk and the yard
  • Ceiling: height, material and whether a fan or lights are built in
