Farmhouse-style can be a bit of a mix and match, whether it’s for interior design or outside landscaping. Natural materials are essential, with plenty of leeway in how different elements are put together. Someone may try to sell you artificial turf, but that’s where to draw the line. Rustic and timeless are hallmarks of Farmhouse style, however, the look can also tolerate contemporary flair. We’ve put together a curated gallery of Farmhouse landscaping ideas to inspire your own outdoor project.
