Home Design Styles To Fit Your Needs

To continue our commitment to superior design, we frequently update floor plans based on customer feedback and the latest industry trends. Here are three of our most current designs to help narrow down your selection.

Cottage

Drawing their inspiration from England, cottages feature steeply pitched roofs, an exterior made of stone or wood and window shutters. The architecture is often asymmetrical and unbalanced yet aesthetically pleasing. Cottages emphasize first-floor livability, with the kitchen, dining area, living room and workspaces all on the main level. This type of home style also maintains a steady design flow from one room to the next. Perry Homes’ cottage-style homes feature stone and brick exteriors that come in a variety of colors, making you feel cozy from the moment you walk through the front door.

Craftsman

Craftsman homes are one of the most popular home styles and are easily recognized by their low-pitched or clipped gable roofs, covered porches with tapered columns and exposed beams, brackets and rafters. The exteriors often feature three types of siding — board and batten (vertical), lap (horizontal) and shake — which are typically combined in earthy tones with stone accents.

The craftsman style extends to the interior of the home, providing a mix of warmth and simplicity. Squared-edge trim is often used for molding, doors have flat panels and mission-style or shaker elements appear in the cabinetry and staircase. While many craftsman homes feature natural wood tones, some modern styles incorporate white or light colors.

Modern Farmhouse

Modern farmhouse architecture draws its inspiration from rustic barns and old farmhouses. They often include features like open-concept designs, large windows and wood floors. You will also find spacious outdoor living spaces, such as wrap-around porches, to replicate the look and feel of an old country home.

This type of home style offers various options for architecture and has many finishes that can be personalized based on your preferences. Perry Homes’ modern farmhouse designs include high roof pitch lines and board and batten siding. These homes also offer gable windows with grills and traditional farmhouse colors to complete the look.
