While we love a good statement wall or patterned chaise, less is almost always more. This cozy farmhouse rests our case. There’s something to be said for the elegant minimalism found in its clean lines, tasteful finishes, and relaxed palette. It’s the sort of house where every design element looks purposeful and hand-placed.
Inside, each room is painted in bright whites, dove grays, or dusty beiges. Rich brass hardware and lighting pop against the bathroom’s crisp white subway tile, while the simplicity of the original hardwood floors is a perfect match for the sprinkling of houseplants and Carrara marble. But of all the many things that charm in this 1930s home, images of the covered patio, lovely porch swing, and lush landscaping that first caught our eye still linger long after the slideshow is done.
