Country Home DesignsBegin With A Perfect Front PorchCountry home designs are defined by the front porch. Most country homes have large wrap around porches and are modeled after plantation or southern homes.Contemporary country homes may have smaller front porches but still maintain the appeal of a true country porch. Country homes normally have large high pitched roofs to give the appearance and feel of a cottage. Porch flooring is almost always wide plank heart pine or hardwood which was typical of many historical country homes located throughout the southern states. We hope you enjoy these country porch photos which can give you plenty of ideas for your own country porch!    Country homes take us back to a simpler, more relaxed time period. The most popular country home design features a large front porch or a wrap-around porch with a gabled roof and can be either one or two stories. Many have screened in porches in the rear while others may screen in part of the front or wrap-around porch.   Country homes are prevalent in rural areas and in larger suburbs or neighborhoods. They are also favorites in residential coastal communities and we've noticed they continues to increase in popularity across the country. In fact, planned communities are using this design to include sidewalks and convenience stores are located nearby to recreate a sense of community among neighbors.    Serenity is key to a country home. Open porches, those without railings, are our favorite. If railings are needed, plan for simple rectangular or square designs. Columns should be the same although round tapered columns can work as well.  Porch curtains add lots of appeal along with ceiling fans and an old fashioned porch swing. When designing your country home, be sure to take time to detail your country porch too! Love country? See our featured country porches...
