Top 10 European Farmhouse Exteriors

This post is a round up the Top 10 European Farmhouse exteriors! You may ask what is European Farmhouse? Well, its a great combination of old world charm and architecture that you would find in the countryside of European countries.

With spring approaching all the outdoor projects are on my brain. I love getting back to yard work and planning for green days again. Sometimes my mind could wonder too much and I start thinking how I would love to add some stone siding and maybe copper gutters to bring our modern farmhouse exterior to a little more Old world charm. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, but I thought what a fun post to round up the top 10 European farmhouse exteriors to inspire not only European aesthetic in the interior but also the exterior too.

I shared all about how to achieve authentic farmhouse in a previous blog post.

#1 The Modern English Cottage

Starting with this beauty that embodies European Farmhouse charm with it’s German schmear facade, arched doors ways, and sloped roofline. Not to mention the charcoal painted trim is the perfect contrast.

#2 Dutch Colonial

This stunning updated dutch colonial has all the roof line angles that bring that “special” factor and the cedar roof with copper gutters is certainly the way to bring European flair.

#3 Tudor Cottage

I love a great Tudor home, initially I called my style for our home A Farmhouse Tudor because I love the diamonds windows of a Tudor home and the traditional charm. I think a Tudor is a 1940’s European inspired home. Love this cutie Tudor style European charmer.

#4 European Ranch

This has the European stone charm and the wooden beams. The shutters also add to the European charm. It feels a little more rustic then for my taste but that’s why I am calling it my Ranch than farmhouse.

#5 European Haven

This amazing jaw dropping home has the elements of painted brick and reclaimed wood that just feels special! Lets not forget the cedar shade, sloped roofline, and that tall Italian cypress for vertical drama.

#6 French Cottage

this stunning ranch home makes me think timeless and Old World, nothing modern here!

#7 European Magnifique

True charm and stone on this property, not to mention the coordinating landscaping. What I love about a great European design is the shutters that face outward as if they were flung open to smell the lavender fields.

#8 French Country

Traditional and styled home with amazing roof peeks. Plaster walls and traditional lantern lighting.

#9 Modern European Farmhouse

This reminds me a little of my house…maybe I should add shutters?

  1. I like the look of your house but if you were thinking of adding some European touches, shutters, as you mentioned, would be an option along with possibly wrapping your porch posts with cedar or another type of wood. I can picture a window box below the window that is above your garage doors. Filled thick with greenery like in picture 8. Or your favorite plants. And of course the shutters. I’m sure any changes, or additions, that you come up with will be beautiful.
