6. Farmhouse with Gable Roofs

Gable roofs are a hallmark of cottage-style homes. Incorporate multiple gables with contrasting colors or textures to create depth and a picturesque look.

Why it works:

  • Classic farmhouse silhouette
  • Allows for lofts or vaulted ceilings inside
  • Enhances overall architectural interest

Tip: Accent gables with decorative trusses or brackets for added detail.
