Beyond the Shiplap: Functionality in the Modern Idaho Farmhouse

The modern farmhouse aesthetic continues to captivate homeowners across Southeast Idaho, and for good reason. Its blend of rustic charm and clean, contemporary lines feels right at home against the backdrop of the Snake River Plain. But for MDS Homes, it’s about more than just aesthetics. It’s about creating a home that functions beautifully for a modern Idaho lifestyle. Our design process focuses on translating that “farmhouse feel” into durable, efficient living spaces perfect for everything from quiet family nights to hosting large gatherings.

Integrating Quality and Style

Imagine vaulted ceilings with exposed beams over an open-concept living area, featuring durable engineered hardwood floors that stand up to snowy boots and summer dust. A statement fireplace crafted from local stone becomes the room’s anchor, while large windows flood the space with natural light, offering views of the surrounding landscape. In the kitchen, quartz countertops provide a resilient and beautiful workspace, complemented by custom cabinetry. Through our detailed selection process, we guide clients to materials and finishes that not only look the part but are chosen for their longevity and performance in our unique climate. The Manticore Floorplan System becomes an invaluable tool here, helping visualize how these elements come together before a single wall is framed.
