The modern farmhouse style that captured Americans’ imagination with help from Chip and Joanna Gaines isn’t fading. And the style is perfect for Rivers Pointe Estates. With estate size lots, wooded trails, a community barn, rolling hills and a horse stable, modern farmhouses will look right at home here. Creating a custom home in the community affords you the opportunity to implement this style.
Here are the fundamental features of the style you can ask your custom builder to use:
On the Outside
Choosing the right siding for your house sets the scene for modern farmhouse style. Wood siding, particularly in white, is a popular choice. Window frames (especially black frames) that contrast in color to the siding are another eye-catching feature. Open and inviting front porches with lots of space for good conversation are another quintessential part of a farmhouse.
It’s All in the Details
Rustic wood is a staple in modern farmhouse style. Include elements such as beams, posts and panelling to incorporate wood in any room in your house. Such features can go in your living room, kitchen and even bedroom. Distressed barn doors are another great addition. Consider rustic or distressed wood elements such as cabinets, dressers, desks, vanities and tables, too.
Color selection is just as important as any other feature. Popular colors include white, light or navy blue, black, pale green, gray and even blush. A fun trend is to paint your kitchen cabinets or table a unique color. You can also add a pop of color to your wooden pieces. Using these inviting colors is fundamental to rural-inspired living.
Farm Fresh Eggs
The kitchen is arguably one of the most important rooms in a house. One of the best parts of farm living is gathering to enjoy the fruits of your labor, possibly literally. A neutral canvas can be created using a light-colored backsplash. As the name implies, a farmhouse sink is a natural choice. Fixtures will stand out against the neutral color palette, so consider finishes like chrome, copper, brass or even matte black. The eating area should feel open and inviting, just like the rest of the house, so do not overcrowd the space with excessive furniture or decorations.
