Discover the Vintage Charm of This Rustic-Style Tiny With Two Bedrooms

Everyone has a unique, deeply personal perspective on what "home” feels like. For many, traditional houses will always feel more homely than futuristic abodes with unusual styles and bold features. The tiny living phenomenon that has taken the entire world by storm doesn't stray away from this concept. In fact, it successfully incorporates it, adding the benefits of mobility, freedom, and affordability.

A house like the Mobi 02 Gerber is the perfect example. It's a typical tiny house with two loft bedrooms, yet it also looks and feels more like a conventional house instead of a mobile alternative. The Gerber Tiny was built on one of the most popular platforms from Mobi House, the Mobi 02. It's just a little over seven meters long (23.6 feet), 2.5 meters wide (8.2 feet), and 3.4 meters high (11 feet). It's not as colorful and bright as most of the designs from this brand, which makes it a better choice for those who prefer the classic Scandinavian style.

The Gerber Tiny is a truly minimalistic design with a focus on functionality and a clean, timeless aesthetic. The combination of abundant woodwork and a flexible layout with lots of modular furniture gives it a lovely vintage charm. This tiny isn't flashy in any way but rather understated. The Scandinavian spruce exterior shows off its natural wood color, with the black window and door frames as the only accents. An awning across the home's nearly entire length adds a retro touch reminiscent of classic homes and vintage campers.

Inside, the clean combination of natural wood and bright white creates the same peaceful, homely ambiance as the exterior. The white shiplap walls bring to mind old farmhouses or rustic-style beach homes. The layout is simple, uncluttered, and effective, boasting an aesthetically pleasing symmetry thanks to the two mirroring lofts.

The main loft room boasts enough space for a double mattress, and it's fitted with a large horizontal window that brings in abundant natural light. The solid protection wall isn't there just for privacy and safety. It also doubles as a bookcase with open shelves providing easy-to-access storage for personal items. This bedroom sits above the bathroom and the kitchen area, and it connects to the main floor via a massive staircase with hidden storage.

As you'll see, several items inside the Gerber fulfill multiple functions – it's a clever way to save space and maximize what's available, also efficiently avoiding clutter. A few of them are part of the brand's own line of modular furniture. For instance, the convertible sofa in the lounge is a classic Mobi House piece of furniture, which you'll find in many of their models. It looks classic, but what makes it special is that it incorporates ample storage inside the deep drawers underneath, and it can also turn into an extra bed for guests. During the day, it's a comfortable and welcoming sofa that invites folks to enjoy the views.

The lounge area takes up one end of the house and is fitted with two large windows that help brighten up the entire space. The other wall has room left for storage in the form of a vintage-looking, narrow cabinet. That wall was also left empty in order to store the folding ladder that leads to the second loft bedroom. When not in use, this practical ladder is easily folded and stored neatly next to the sofa.

This second bedroom is smaller, and it feels a bit darker because there's only one small window. This is typically the more versatile room that can be used for multiple purposes, not just as a bedroom. In some cases, customers can prefer to simply use it as a large storage area, but it could also be configured as a home office.

The slim cabinet in the lounge is another piece of modular furniture. It converts to a foldable dining table that takes up almost no space at all. As for the chairs, they're also neatly stored on the ceiling in the kitchen. Folding chairs and tables are great options for small dwellings such as this one. Plus, they're part of the Gerber's vintage charm, reminding us of the classic camping furniture that would accompany us on our outdoor adventures. On the opposite wall, the building team included a dedicated spot for a rustic fireplace, another charming and practical addition.

Gerber's kitchen also benefits from ample storage. It comes with its own custom-made cabinets, overhead cupboards, and drawers, in addition to the staircase with integrated drawers. The basic appliances include a built-in electric fridge, an electric oven, and an induction stove.

Although compact, the Gerber Tiny feels just as homely and welcoming as a classic childhood house. A wall-mounted TV in the kitchen turns the entire lounge/kitchen area into an informal, relaxed space for dining, entertainment, and connecting with the outdoors from the privacy of a warm, cozy nest. Plus, thanks to the ingenious modular furniture, this house on wheels with a retro vibe is also perfectly adapted for a modern lifestyle and embodies the principles of Scandinavian minimalism.
