This 225-Square-Foot Tiny Home Has a Main-Floor Bedroom and Still Makes Room for Two Lofts
Giving part of a 225-square-foot tiny home to a main-floor bedroom leaves less room for everything else. This 26-foot Tumbleweed model still fits a living room, full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and two sleeping lofts.
Built in 2019 and listed for $70,000 in Temple, Texas on Tiny House Listings, the home has about 356 square feet of usable space when the lofts are included. Up to four people can sleep here, with two on the main level and more sleeping space above.
Three Upper Windows Hint at the Two Lofts
Blue horizontal siding covers the main level, while wood cladding marks the upper section of the 13.5-foot-tall house. Three windows across the top bring light into the loft level.
At 26 feet long and 8.5 feet wide, the trailer has a narrow footprint despite the separate bedroom and two spaces above.
Kitchen Runs Along One Wall
Blue lower cabinets and butcher-block counters run from the propane range toward the refrigerator. Along the same wall are the sink, oven, vent hood, microwave, open shelves, and knife storage.
Keeping the kitchen to one side preserves a direct path from the living room toward the bedroom and bathroom.
Open Shelves Take the Place of Upper Cabinets
Two wood shelves hold cookware, dishes, and cups above the range and counter. Knives and utensils hang against the white subway tile backsplash instead of filling drawers or another cabinet.
Above the kitchen window, the mini-split uses the wall near the ceiling while leaving the counter below open between the range and sink.
Living Room Has a Sectional Instead of a Bed
The sectional wraps around the front corner beneath the window, with the television mounted on the opposite wall. Open floor remains between the sofa, entry, and kitchen.
Since the primary bed has its own room farther back, the living room does not have to become a bedroom at night.
Ladder Leads to the First Loft
Fixed against the wall beside the living room, the wood ladder provides access to the first loft without the footprint of another staircase.
Looking down from the opening shows how close the upper sleeping space sits to the living area below.
First Loft Fits a Large Bed
Most of the carpeted platform is given to a large mattress, with a window beside it and recessed lights set into the sloped wood ceiling.
Behind the pillows, a low shelf puts the reduced headroom at the end of the loft to use for storage.
Main Bedroom Stays Downstairs
Down on the main floor, the separate bedroom has its own door, window, bed, wall-mounted television, and small shelf.
Neither loft has to serve as the home’s only bedroom.
Second Loft Adds Another Sleeping Area
Across the house, the second loft provides another carpeted sleeping platform beneath the sloped ceiling. Its window sits beside the mattress, while a railing borders the open edge.
Access comes from the staircase below rather than the ladder used for the other loft.
Low Headroom Becomes Storage
Behind the pillows, low shelving follows the end of the second loft beneath the descending roofline. Taller furniture would not fit in this part of the space.
Recessed lights above the mattress also remove the need for bedside lamps.
Stairs and Ladder Meet in One Part of the House
One wood staircase climbs toward a loft while the vertical ladder beside it reaches the other. Both routes are grouped within the same part of the floor plan.
Between them, a window remains open to bring light into the narrow passage.
Washer and Dryer Fits Under the Stairs
Beneath the loft stairs sits the washer/dryer combo, surrounded by open cubbies for storage. Laundry and loft access share the same structure instead of taking separate sections of the main floor.
Across the aisle, the refrigerator occupies the wall beside the kitchen.
Bathroom Storage Goes Above the Toilet
Storage continues into the bathroom with a wood cabinet mounted above the toilet. The window beside it brings light into the narrow space without giving up the wall used for the cabinet.
White horizontal wall boards contrast with the exposed wood trim around the window and door.
Compact Vanity Adds Enclosed Storage
Below the sink, cabinet doors provide enclosed bathroom storage without adding another piece of furniture. The mirror stays flat against the wall above the faucet, with a second full-length mirror mounted on the nearby door.
Wood trim along the counter picks up the exposed wood details found across the interior.
Shower Sits Beside the Main-Floor Bedroom
Beside the passage to the main-floor bedroom, a separate shower enclosure completes the bathroom. Its curtain stays within the shower opening instead of requiring clearance for a swinging door.
With the kitchen, living room, bathroom, laundry, and bedroom all downstairs, the two lofts add sleeping space without taking the main bed off the ground floor.
