6 farmhouse floor plans featuring a great room

Farmhouses tend to be on the more traditional side, so when they use the updated elements of a modern home it’s like an extra bonus. Such is the case with using great rooms in a farmhouse. In case you’ve never been in one, a great room is a large room that combines multiple functionalities into one room.
Great rooms have the combined qualities of a living room, family room, study, dining room or another functionality. They’re wonderful for people who love their space to be more open and versatile, as is common in more modern homes. Below are six farmhouses that boast great rooms as part of the floor plan.
