Check out these 7 farmhouse floor plans perfect for growing families

Farmhouse style homes were originally simple and functional structures where a family lived while they worked together on the farm. You don't have to be a farmer to live in today's farmhouses, but they're still great homes for growing families.
Spacious family rooms, open kitchens, and welcoming wraparound porches are just a few of the features that makes a farmhouse a great family home. A rustic and eclectic decor fits a farmhouse well, and is a perfect backdrop for displaying family heirlooms.
