Whether you hang your hat in a bustling city, a shady suburb or at the end of an isolated country road, home is what you make of it. For homeowners looking to outfit their residence in the manner of a classic farmhouse, certain decorative hallmarks can prove handy.

The interior of the home should utilize floral patterns as much as possible – in the curtains and table cloth, for instance. Wooden floors are par for the course, and they should be covered in strategic fashion with throw rugs. Outside, key indicators such as copper weathervanes will put visitors in a laid-back country state of mind.
