American farmhouses have a straightforward construction designed to function amidst a working farm in a rural setting. They have a simple rectangular floor plan, usually built with local materials, and include a dominant centrally-located fireplace for cooking and heating.

Farmhouse interior design is defined by practicality and comfort, relying on readily available materials and colors. Wood elements and white tones are indicative of farmhouse style.
