Adorable 20-foot Tiny House Reveals a Cleverly Designed Interior

The tiniest of tiny homes come with a series of benefits, affordability being one of the best. Still, this doesn't necessarily have to mean giving up certain aspects of comfortable daily living or switching to a more rustic lifestyle. The Red Door is a fresh, vibrant interpretation of tiny living that integrates the functionality of an urban home into a small package, making it easy to transport, easy to maintain, and sustainable in the long run.

With a length of just 20 feet (6 meters) and an 8.5-foot (2.5 meters) width, The Red Door is ideally suited for a single owner or a couple. It was custom-built by Backcountry Tiny Homes, a woman-owned company in New Hampshire. The company's founders are proud tiny home owners themselves, which gives them a deeper understanding of what customers are looking for and what they truly need. This personal insight is one of the reasons behind the brand's success, reflected in the ingenious styling of mobile homes like The Red Door.

The Red Door packs as much functionality as possible within its tiny living area without becoming overwhelming. It's all about versatility and clever use of space, coupled with a choice of high-quality materials and furnishings for an elevated, contemporary look. This 20-footer comes with a classic open-space layout and a tiny loft that can only be used for storage. Compared to slightly bigger designs, it doesn't have separate sleeping and lounge areas – there's only one larger area that is used for both purposes.

Style-wise, The Red Door clearly draws inspiration from contemporary minimalism but with an interesting pop of color. Carefully added red accents, starting with the eye-catching entrance door in a fiery shade of red, have a powerful effect. They seem to bring this house to life and add a cheerful, friendly vibe. The mix of classic white shiplap walls and deep red accents has a striking visual effect that doesn't just make the house seem more voluminous but also creates a fresh, welcoming atmosphere.

The beautiful red door leads you straight into the main living area, which is both a lounge and a bedroom. During the day, a classic living room setup takes center stage – a cozy sofa, windows on both sides for added natural light, and a compact, multi-purpose table/chair combo. This flexible part of the house can turn into anything from a home office to a cozy lounge. When it's time to sleep, the convertible sofa becomes a comfortable bed strategically flanked by windows.

The center of the house is dedicated to the kitchen. You'll be surprised to see how much storage is available in this tiny cooking area. On the one hand, you have the classic cabinets under the countertop and an overhead cupboard; on the other hand, full-size closets double as a regular pantry with ample shelving. Almost everything inside The Red Door has a dual purpose, and these closets are no exception – they also act as storage solutions for the bedroom/lounge area.

In terms of appliances, this kitchen keeps things to a minimum; the full-size fridge stands out, but it's perfectly integrated to fit in with the overall styling. The bathroom is also very simple and equipped with a basic shower and standard toilet.

The storage loft is an interesting addition that makes the most of the available space. Although too compact to be turned into a sleeping area, this loft adds functionality to this small dwelling. There can never be too much storage in a tiny home, so a loft like this comes in handy. As far as access, a basic ladder connects it to the ground floor and can be stored away easily.

Discrete LED lighting throughout adds even more warmth to this cozy interior, as well as a modern look. By keeping the overall styling to a minimum, owners enjoy more freedom when it comes to making choices and moving things around.

For instance, the transition area between the kitchen and the bedroom/lounge, although small, could house a simple dining setup with a pop-up table and foldable chairs. Despite its minimal footprint, The Red Door boasts enough floor space to allow various modifications and additions that aren't permanent.

Last but not least, this compact home on wheels was built to last. With Backcountry Tiny Homes, customization isn't just about aesthetic elements such as color schemes and furniture. Everything from materials and framing to insulation and ventilation is specifically chosen to match the home's intended location and climate.

True customization is about making a home that can pass the test of time and ensure maximum comfort in a specific environment. On top of that, it doesn't hurt that The Red Door also sports a big personality – it makes downsizing an experience to enjoy every day.
