The American Craftsman is an iconic style that has helped shape mid-century architecture. With its carefully designed and functional space, it has become attractive to homeowners. Trusted siding contractor Homecraft Inc. shares more information on the basic design principles of Craftsman homes. We also list a few popular color schemes that are perfect for this type of home.
