This tiny house has both a modern and rustic vibe, one which largely relies on whites to make the space appear bigger. Creating a zone dedicated to meal times that also opens up onto the outside by way of a lot of big windows, amplifies the space, which is especially well done given the small surface area. 

There’s no doubt that natural light seeping in highlights the obvious contrast between the whites and the dark wood colours. Also, the fact that there’s a small loft area off to the side, above the bedroom, prevents one from having to work in bed, where it’s nicer to sleep!

2) A wealth of light

As shown above, white is always a winner in a home filled with small rooms. We have to bank on especially uncluttered decor, which allows us to appreciate the fair value of the home’s beautiful architectural details. 

It’s also worthwhile to highlight the visual effect it makes on the ceiling, which still has its original colouring. This latter really emphasizes it and avoids creating a setting that is too uniform.

If we’re noticing a lot of tiny houses in which white prevails, others will have an array of darker colours. Apart from adding a lot of character to the overall design, it helps to create a cute country feel.

Visually speaking, we love the fact that some sections are raised, which really helps define the space. Although the bedroom located at the very end appears small, it still benefits from large windows nearby. 

4) White on dark wood for a tasteful mix

This tiny house benefits from its height, as well as its length! As a matter of fact, the countertop gracefully highlights this factor. What’s there to say about the amazing ceiling? Its arch frame automatically draws the eyes upward and adds a healthy dose of grandeur to this tiny house. Once again, choosing a very dark wood creates a really tasteful mix with the white, which prevails yet again.
