farmhouse
Agrarian residence building
A farmhouse is the main dwelling on a farm, typically where the farmer and family live.
The word evokes rural architecture—sturdy, practical houses often with large kitchens and wraparound porches.
As a modifier, farmhouse describes a rustic aesthetic popular in interior design: farmhouse style, farmhouse sink, farmhouse table.
The look emphasizes natural materials, distressed wood, and vintage touches.
