7 Must-Have Farmhouse Features

Your home reflects your personal aesthetic, and if you see yourself drawn to classic, laidback home accents like shiplap, galvanized metal and rustic wood, then you probably love farmhouse style.

The trendy farmhouse style has been on the rise for quite some time with its addictively beautiful and elegant elements, but where do you start if you want to incorporate this look into your new home? Let us take the stress of picking out the perfect farmhouse decor off your shoulders and show you some gorgeous Clayton Built® homes with built-in farmhouse features you won’t find anywhere else.

1. Rustic Ceiling Beams

The ceiling is a place we don’t often think about when it comes to revamping the look of your home. But with rustic coffered wood matched with ornately designed tiling in between, this ceiling will leave your guests with something to talk about.

2. Sliding Barn Doors

Not only do barn doors add the perfect farmhouse look to a home, but they’re also a great alternative to a traditional door if you’re limited on square footage. These rustic, dark wood barn doors make a big design statement and help make the primary bathroom feel like an extension of the primary bedroom.

3. Shiplap Accent

Shiplap isn’t just for walls. If you love the idea shiplap, but don’t want to maintain and clean an entire wall of it, you can add it in small doses. We love this shiplap kitchen island that’s the perfect nod to farmhouse style.

4. Antique-Style Walk-In Shower

Why should the high traffic areas of your home get all the farmhouse glory? We believe in extending the farmhouse theme to all corners of your home! That’s right, that means walk-in showers complete with antiqued wood-style tiling.

5. Farmhouse Sink

A farmhouse sink, or apron front sink as you may know it, can be found in any style of home, but like its name states, it’s most common in homes with farmhouse interior design. This sink has a front side in lieu of fake cabinet drawers and can be made from several different materials and colors to seamlessly fit your home’s style.

6. Rustic Mudroom

Storage is always a tough topic for any homeowner. Why? Because you either don’t have enough storage, or what you do have isn’t the most glamorous part of your home. But, not anymore! Combining rustic elements with a clean and sleek storage design creates the ultimate mudroom.

7. Antique-Style Kitchen Lighting

Do you have a hard time looking away from the details in this kitchen? Of course you do! These pendant lights are the perfect addition for any farmhouse fanatic. An elegant, yet subtle mixture of color allows for a gorgeous, antiqued element.
