Farmhouse Courtyard Design Ideas
A farmhouse courtyard combines the charming rural simplicity that blends productive gardening with beautiful design with a space designed for homeowners with enclosed outdoor spaces.
A courtyard typically features central feature, wall plants, ambient lighting. Enclosed spaces benefit from a central focal point like a fountain or tree. When designed in the farmhouse style, these elements get elevated with white, sage green, natural wood, muted pastels and materials like whitewashed wood, galvanized metal, stone, brick.
