This Iconic Custom Tiny Is a Downsizer’s Dream Home on Wheels

The concept known as "luxury tiny living" has demonstrated time and time again that downsizing can be a fulfilling experience and a bold step toward a happy, sustainable lifestyle. A smaller living space doesn't necessarily mean compromise and lower standards. A house on wheels like the Lindstrom can proudly sit next to any contemporary family home while also boasting all the popular benefits of mobile living.

The Lindstrom tiny is a two-bedroom home with one loft and one main-floor room that's fully enclosed. Size-wise, it's 28-foot-long (8.5 meters) and 8.6-foot-wide (2.6 meters), which is neither too compact nor too big for a tiny house. Boasting 270 square feet (25 square meters) of space, it's ideally suited for a couple or even a small family because of its balanced layout with an elegant, sophisticated interior style.

This tiny reveals a fully enclosed main-floor bedroom, which is an unusual feature for a home this size. We typically find it in mobile homes that enjoy extensive length as a great way to take advantage of that added length. At the same time, Lindstrom offers the benefits of a loft layout that makes the most of the build's height.

This is what makes it so well-balanced. Due to the unusual inclusion of a bedroom on the main floor, the rest of the house boasts an RV-inspired layout with the kitchen and lounge seamlessly intertwined.

Instead of a separate living area next to the kitchen, the two are enmeshed. Two massive armchairs are placed almost facing the kitchen countertop while sitting behind two large windows that take up a lot of the side wall for extra brightness.

The kitchen looks particularly luxurious, mainly due to the elegant quartz countertops. They're a perfect match to the overall clean color palette with abundant white and light shades. The white furniture also seems to blend in with the white shiplap walls, creating the illusion of a wider space and more openness.
The kitchen is packed with premium appliances without sacrificing the room for generous storage.

Different-sized cupboards ensure easy-to-reach storage in the cooking area, while there's a separate spot nearby for the full-size fridge, a modern pantry, and even a washer/dryer unit. In addition to the generous countertop space, a tiny pop-up table acts as a practical extension at dinner time. It's another RV-inspired feature that maximizes space within this open-plan layout.

Lindstrom's kitchen is a chef's dream and one of the home's most luxurious sections. Still, some might not be as happy with the living room arrangement – it's convenient but not the best. Luckily, when it comes to entertaining guests, a beautiful outside deck can do the trick. Without being too big, this outdoor feature can successfully expand the lounge area and turn it into an indoor/outdoor space where the owners can spend more time with friends and family, as well as being out in nature.

What everyone will be happy to discover is the master bedroom. Beautifully crafted, full-height barn doors keep it entirely separate from the rest of the house, which is an unusual bonus for a dwelling this size. Of course, this isn't a lavish room with ample walk-around space, but it's big enough for a comfy, two-person bed and large wardrobes.

The brand's signature main-floor master is extra convenient because it features a Murphy bed with a sewing station underneath. With a simple touch, it becomes an elegant, cozy sleeping cocoon. During the rest of the time, the bed doesn't get in the way, which makes the room more versatile. The double windows on each side are also an essential feature because they add luminosity and fresh air so that the room doesn't feel cramped or isolating.

If you find this bedroom surprisingly elegant, wait till you see the bathroom. Hiding behind a discrete barn door, this is one of the most sophisticated bathrooms a tiny house could have. It doesn't just flaunt an unexpected walk-in shower cabin but also a large vanity featuring the same quartz countertop as the kitchen. It shows what skilled design and top-quality materials and furnishings can achieve despite space limitations.

Last but not least, the loft room is a welcome addition that makes Lindstrom even more functional. Although spacious enough and equipped to be used as a second bedroom, this flexible area can be used for multiple purposes, such as a home office or even a simple storage room for large items. It's also a convenient guest accommodation option since the Lindstrom Tiny lacks the typical lounge setup with a convertible sofa.

Whether you look at functionality or interior style, the Lindstrom tiny is a winner. It's one of those tiny homes that make downsizing not only enjoyable but highly desirable. This $150,000 model by Movable Roots was launched four years ago, but as time passes, it only becomes iconic and a rich source of inspiration for those who dream about luxury downsizing.
