Modern Farm House

Comfort and simplicity best define the modern farmhouse style. It’s not surprising that this style is growing in popularity in the greater Harrisburg area. Design shows, such as HGTV’s Fixer Upper, have helped popularize and highlight the appeal of the modern farmhouse design.

Why Is Modern Farmhouse So Popular?

The great thing about modern farmhouse design is its flexibility. That flexibility opens up many options for floor plan layout, building materials, and storage options.

• HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” has highlighted the flexibility of this style.
• Evokes feelings of warmth and comfort.
• Traditional feel without being fussy.
• Comfortable and inviting.
• A change from minimalist style of 1990s and early 2000s.

However, the focus in any farmhouse design tends to focus on functionality, storage, and furniture over decoration and ornamentation. You will see this play out in the image galleries below of modern farmhouse homes we’ve built.
