FARMHOUSE:Authentic Charm
FARMHOUSE: COMFORTABLY RUGGED AND CHIC
Although it’s been hundreds of years since the first farmhouses appeared
in America, the defining elements of the style still hold true in the modern
incarnations. Farmhouses aren’t just for farms anymore either. You’ll find
them in both rural and urban areas. To talk about Farmhouse style isn’t
so much about the architecture but rather the details. From shiplap to
painted brick, to rustic accents, there’s a story behind every element.
We’re sharing five ideas on the roles of windows and doors in Farmhouse
design and how to use them in your next build or remodel:
• Entry doors
• Barn doors
• Wood windows
• Colonial grilles and Farmhouse hallmarks
• Mahogany finishes
To capture the Farmhouse look, start with the
front door. It’s the first thing your guests will see
and sets the tone for the style of the home. The
Dutch door, a favorite with its two independent
sections, is quintessential Farmhouse. Help your
client decide if they prefer a solid panel Dutch
door, or one with glass panels to allow more
light and brighten the entryway. Dutch doors are
available in our IWP® Wood and IWP® Aurora®
Fiberglass exterior door lines, and are offered
in a variety of styles and finishes.
FARMHOUSE ENTRY DOORS

Barn doors have made their way from
the barn to s tatement p ieces in many
homes, mainly because they of fer both

FARMHOUSE WOOD WINDOWS: REAL BEAUTY, REAL DURABILITY
Hundreds of year s ago, a l l fa rmhouses had wood windows.
Wood was , of cour se, p lent i fu l and a natura l opt ion for
w indows. Whi le v iny l has become the lead ing mater ia l for
w indows, wood i sn’ t forgot ten. And i t shouldn’ t be in any
new or renovated farmhouse.

COLONIAL GRILLES COMPLEMENT FARMHOUSE DETAILS
Gri l le s add charac ter to w indows. A t rad i t iona l

On the interior, a beautiful shiplap wall is the perfect place
for a Colonial grille window. Shiplap isn’t new; it’s actually
quite old. But it has become very popular in modern
farmhouses. Shiplap is wooden boards often with a rabbet,
or groove, cut into the top and bottom. This allows for a
tight fit and is what gives shiplap its unique appearance.
Shiplap, once used in building sheds or barns, is now a
sought-after interior finish. These stacked strips of white
wood can be found in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms
and most any room in the house. The shiplap may cover the
entire room or just a feature wall. A feature wall of shiplap
with a Colonial grille window is a brilliant way to create the
Farmhouse aesthetic for your client.
Another s tandard of a Farmhouse k i tchen i s the
Farmhouse s ink. The Farmhouse s ink f i r s t came
to be in a t ime when there was no running water.
I t s deep des ign a l lows i t to ho ld subs tant ia l

natura l water sources . The depth of the s ink

was to reduce water over f low f rom damaging
cab inet s . Farmhouse s ink s can be made f rom
f i rec lay, porce la in, s ta in les s s tee l and copper.
A fu l l wa l l of Co lonia l gr i l l e double -hung windows
are the per fec t complement to a Farmhouse s ink.
They br ighten the space and are a def in i t i ve way
to de l i ver the look of a Farmhouse k i tchen.
A mahogany finish replicates the mahogany tree. It is straight-grained
with reddish-brown coloring. The mahogany finish is seen throughout
farmhouses, particularly on hardwood flooring and interior doors, or in
wood furniture, to bring warmth to the often white-planked walls.
If you’re working with a tight budget, you don’t have to use real wood
to provide a mahogany finish. Instead offer a prefinished interior door.
Our Woodview™ Collection combines the durability of molded doors
and the artistry of hand-brushed finishing techniques that exhibit the
look of real wood. Mahogany is also a warm and inviting stain for an
exterior door. Again, you don’t have to use real wood. Try a fiberglass
door that effortlessly replicates the grain and color of mahogany.
FARMHOUSE FINISH: MAHOGANY
Our Design-Pro™ Fiberglass exterior door line is specifically designed
to resemble the natural look of real mahogany. Real wood doors are
stunning, but fiberglass can give your clients additional design options
and long-term durability.
Using a mahogany stain on the interior trim and moulding of the wood
windows is another way to incorporate the finish, and is a beautiful way
to complement any other mahogany coloring in the room.
FARMHOUSE:Farmhouse style has expanded from its humble roots.
But it hasn’t strayed far. The original elements of farmhouses are
timeless, which is why they are still loved. From barn doors to
narrow windows, Farmhouse style reflects both rural and modern
life. Textured details and rustic accents abound in Farmhouse
style to create its down-to-earth charm.
