Country Home Design Something about these Country Style House Plans brings us home to our roots, where we feel comfortable, safe and secure. Mark Stewart Country and Americana Home Designs: bringing you back home. This American Rooted Style is a bit of  an update of the popular “Colonial style.” The colonial home is  influenced by 18th century colonists bringing European styles with them. They’re probably most recognizable for featuring two windows on either side of the front door and five windows on top, with the middle window directly above the door. Country houses aspire to be warm and inviting. They generally have wide porches, shutters, dormers, and wood detailing. The Modern Country Style House Plan that is seeing a resurgence now has fuzzy ties to the Modern Farmhouse Movement. These homes evoke simpler times, bring back great memories, feel permanent and generally are structurally straightforward to build. Modern touches, color schemes and technology have brought this style into current day home style vernacular.

The look is bright and breezy, plenty of natural daylight with discreet window treatments to really let the light pour in. Elegant Hampton’s House Plan M-2503cr Mark Stewart Home Design began working in this style in the mid 2000’s, and predicated the now very popular use of this style in new construction. The early Mark Stewart Hampton’s Style Home Plans featured fully detailed gable roofs with return eaves, shingled siding and neat trim white exterior accents. More recent house plans include hipped roof versions, and in the custom design category some wonderful shabby chic versions. Timber floors throughout are all part of the look, either in a very dark chocolate brown or pale and bleached. Keep this look fresh and interesting by mixing old with new. Go antiquing for a few rustic items like old timber dining chairs and pair them with a new plain oak table. Retro kitchen canisters, old shop signs and bottles add charm and fun while contemporary art, lamps and furniture pieces keep things very young and very now.
