This Californian Single-Level Home Personifies Tiny Living Excellence

Among the numerous tiny house-building companies out there, Forever Tiny Homes stands out as one of the few woman-owned family businesses in this industry. Backed by more than a decade of experience, this brand knows how to cater to its customers. Each project comes with RVIA certification and a wide range of some of the best features available at the moment while remaining affordable enough to be a smart alternative to conventional housing.

This Cottonwood-based builder also invites customers to personalize the available floor plans or turn their own ideas into a real-life ideal home. The brand's 32-foot (9.7 meters) layout is one of the most popular, and we can see why.

Apart from the well-known advantages of a single-level configuration compared to the typical tiny homes with one or two lofts, this design is one of the most ingenious takes on contemporary tiny living. An excellent choice of materials complements the minimalist aesthetic that makes this abode both inviting and reliable.

The clean look and neutral color palette are key elements in contemporary minimalism. From the outside, you'll notice the multitude of tall, vertical windows – in contrast to the expanded length of this single-level layout, they create a powerful visual effect in terms of height by literally drawing the eyes upwards. This creates the illusion of a taller house, but it's not just a magic trick. Inside, this 32-footer reveals high ceilings and an open-plan layout for an enhanced sense of openness and flow.

When it comes to the main bedroom, future owners can choose whether they want a fully enclosed room with a traditional door or a modern-style, bohemian room that connects seamlessly to the lounge area. The second option would create a larger rest and relaxation area that mimics the feeling of a contemporary resort-style oasis. In other words, future owners can opt for a more traditional or contemporary feel.

Either way, the lounge remains an impressive part of the home due to its spaciousness. Tiny homes rarely feature this type of central lounge with ample room for a huge sofa, a big TV screen, and plenty of space for additional seating or storage. It's even versatile enough to double as a home office with a compact desk area that gets plenty of light. Even with the bedroom fully separate, this lounge still looks ultra-luminous and airy. Those beautiful tall windows have a remarkable opening and brightening effect both here and in the bedroom.

The bedroom itself is modest in size – it's designed to fit a queen-size bed with no walk-around space. Still, the easy access makes it more comfortable, while the tall window adds beautiful views. At the opposite end of the home, an elegant bathroom reveals an outstanding sense of harmony and symmetry. The vanity, the shower, and the mirror all follow the same slim and narrow lines that match the vertical windows. A purely white color scheme adds brightness and highlights this ultra-clean, minimalist aesthetic.

The visual effect of pure white, this time in a glossy shade, is amplified in the kitchen as well. Surprisingly generous for a house this size, the kitchen features a wide countertop surface, ample storage, and top-notch appliances, including a two-burner induction cooktop, a full-size fridge with a top freezer, and a microwave. Next to the refrigerator, an oversized pantry makes this kitchen even more efficient.

One thing's for sure – nothing about this compact dwelling is rustic or outdated. In addition to the smart, minimalist design that successfully makes this interior seem much bigger and brighter, this 32-foot home features some of the best options in terms of materials and appliances.

Instead of a traditional wooden countertop, it boasts a modern quartz alternative that is much more resistant, easier to clean, and to maintain. The Pergo Outlast Plus is a type of laminate flooring that is not only waterproof but also great-looking: the color scheme with added cracks and knots adds that natural, aged look that everyone loves.

Even when it comes to the exterior façade, Forever Tiny Homes models feature fiber cement board siding that claims to be much more durable than traditional cladding and siding. Plus, it's non-combustible, weather-resistant, and easy to clean. As for the bathroom, the single-piece, stand-up shower with subway-style tiling is not only a comfortable addition but one that contributes to the overall contemporary, fresh look.

Considering its sophisticated styling and highly comfortable amenities, this tiny house is remarkably affordable. For just a little over $60,000, you could have your dream home brought to life and customized to match your lifestyle perfectly. The Forever Tiny Homes range also includes a smaller, more compact version, and all of its builds can be delivered across the US.
