The home has just enough room for everything you need. A sofa or sectional easily fits into the living space with room to spare. From here you can see this home has a nice sized bedroom and bathroom, with a loft that includes a cover for privacy.
Just inside the door is the corner kitchen. This space is small but has everything you need, plus an extended counter with a pass-through on the other side that leads out into the living space.
You can see here how there is a bar with a refrigerator underneath, and tons of pantry space along with shelves above for more storage.
This half-wall divides the space without sacrificing space. A few stools can sit here to create a breakfast nook or bar that is cozy and welcoming.
The bedroom and bathroom are sizable spaces and comfortable for your everyday life. A private main floor bedroom is a great bonus for a tiny home, and this one is definitely a nicer one than some. Plus, the bathroom is just across the room makes it convenient.
There is even room in the bedroom for a bedside table! Plus, the lamps above the bed are mounted here permanently, so you don’t have to worry about making room for a lamp.
This library ladder slides out of the way and is so gorgeous. A true custom addition that adds a unique style to the space.
This bathroom includes a traditional flush toilet and shower on the backside with a medicine cabinet, mirror, and sink/vanity in the foreground. It’s simple, cozy, and has a tile surround that is a perfect addition. There isn’t a ton of extra space for storage, but you could easily add a few more floating shelves on the wall for linens if needed. Other items can easily be stored in the lofts until needed.
While a simple, and not terribly fancy tiny home as some have shown, this converted shed is a wonderful smaller dwelling ideal for many looking to downsize. With so much extra storage, private sleeping spaces, and enough room to even enjoy entertaining, it’s the ideal tiny home for anyone new to the lifestyle.
