GENIUS Tiny House Design to Maximize Living Space

Explore Maria’s tiny house on wheels in Norway. This Scandinavian tiny home boasts a split level living room, masses of storage, and a homesteading dream garden!

Really liked the aesthetic of the home. Very warm and inviting. Also loved the parking spot with it's amazing views. I personally would not care for a ladder situation to access the bedroom, but that's a personal choice.

Absolutely beautiful.... I love your couch ....your views are breathtaking 😍.... you have lots of storage which is great ... your deck is awesome as well you have great taste...your home is comfy and cozy

One of the best tiny house designs I've seen. The huge living room and huge bathroom is a great surprise. Very nice.

[@jen9774]

One of the nicest tiny homes I've seen. As a claustraphopic I'm not keen on loft bedrooms but this one is so light and airy looking with all those windows looking on to gorgeous countryside.

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

I couldn’t agree more it’s such a light and bright loft - definitely one of the most open I’ve seen so far ❤

[@rkh7904]

I really love the design of your tiny. Plus the beautiful views you are lucky to have.

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

It’s gorgeous isn’t it! When we visited Maria to film this the drive there was stunning too 😊

[@kulaihula]

Thanx, love it here 😍

[@Bridget2460]

Maria, love your tiny house, disposition and funny candor. Your house is perfect, that lovely red and white top you are wearing indicated you have a lot of clothes. 😂 Thanks for sharing.

[@gulfgal98]

Beautiful and very livable design. It appears to be much larger than just a tiny house. I could easily live in this house.

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

Couldn’t agree more it’s such a smart layout 😊

She made probably the best advert to this particular way of living, given her sunny personality and naturalness, not to mention the incredibly simple, yet ergonomic design of this gem of a tiny house. I already dream about it. Thanks for sharing.

BEAUTIFUL TINY HOUSE ..AS WELL AS YOU ARE PERFECT VIEW...LIKE YOU AND YOUR HOME...GOD BLESS YOU..

[@buffster948]

Swiss chard, spring onions and radishes might be good additions for the garden! All able to be planted close together in a compact space and quite well suited to the Scandinavian climate, I think. Depends if Maria likes peppery flavours, though.

[@mydaisycrowndevotional611]

This is beautiful and a lovely design. Well done. Your views are amazing too.

[@rbphilip]

Very nice. I don't think I want a toilet that catches on fire, though. :)

Awesome! But not like your casul "awesome", but really in the meaning of the term. It inspires awe. The design, the layout, Maria herself, and of course the breathtaking spot the house sits on. Love it!

[@monieluvs4125]

What a beautiful build, and what a charming little home Maria has made for herself! I loved the fact that Maria was able to build inside as well as outside her house. I loved the wood couch outside, the planters and deck. It's amazing what we are capable of doing when we put our minds to it. I actually caught myself thinking "hey maybe I could do that too." I've actually started saving plans and designs. As well as looking into a woodworking class. I loved every aspect of her build. I felt encouraged and empowered to consider going down this journey myself. You could see the satisfaction and pride on her face when she shared how she also helped build it and design it to a t. The only thing I'd alter would be in raising up the living room a few more inches, only because I have arthritis and you would not catch me crawling in to that bottom space, lol. Plus what a beautiful spot she found to park her tiny. I would love a similar set up. Well congratulations to you Maria, and thank you for sharing your tiny with us all ❤️🎊🏡🎀

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

Thanks for a lovely comment Monie and I’m so happy that you’re considering your own build! Tiny homes really are something special and there’s definitely something about being so involved in the project that makes it feel even more like home ❤ and Maria definitely shows that with her beautiful little home!

[@kulaihula]

Thanx Monie ❤️ Hope you can build your tiny-dream 🤩

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

It’s really smart isn’t it! Felt so spacious when we visited and I really liked the idea of having storage under the living room 😁

[@mariamarshall6116]

What a lovely home!

[@NicMercy]

At first I wasn't keen on the raised living room, but then one thing made it click for me. It would make that house perfect for my cat. Because of how it's laid out, my cat could get up to the sleeping loft by going into the living room area and walking along the top of the kitchen cabinetry to get up and down from the sleeping loft! As an additional bonus, the litter box could be kept in the storage area under the living room. Still accessible but out of the way. Beyond that, this house is amazing. It has most of the stuff I'd want. Incinerator toilet (a standard flushing toilet would be fine too, but I wouldn't wanna deal with compost), dishwasher (screw washing dishes by hand), washer/dryer combo (need to be able to do laundry in house). About the only thing that isn't quite what i want is having to use a ladder to get to bed. I could live with it, but it wouldn't be my first choice. But hey, when cramming all those wants and needs into such a tiny space, sometimes you have to compromise. In any case, great house!

One time there wasnt enough ventilation so there was smake everywhere. The second time there wasnt enough waight in the bag so it was cought in the middle of the hatch. Then the flames came out from the burningpot.

[@Jillysmom63]

wow what a view of the countryside.. gorgeous! cute tiny home too. Now I want to know how and why the toilet caught fire. I have thought about getting an incnerator toilet but maybe not now? lol Seripusly I have never heard they can catch fire.

[@7Jennifer]

So lovely! Anyone know where I can find a shirt jacket like she is wearing?

[@janwoodward7360]

This is the second time in 2 days that I have seen a range top next to the refrigerator. Think folks…..heat element next to the cold box? How is this efficient or even smart? Perhaps moving this whole setup about 6-8 inches to the right would solve this problem. And there should always be a clear space next to the fridge door opening for efficiency and ease of operation. Kitchen designers opinion.

[@lafarmhouse]

lové

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

Thanks 🤗

[@sharoncarbonara2402]

Cute house! How did the toilet catch on fire?

[@kimberlylyell6944]

Thank you for sharing your tiny home. I am wondering about infrastructure. Where does your waste water go? Where do you get your potable water? Do you own the land or lease it?

[@kulaihula]

I Lease land, wast water gos out in nature so only clean products used. Have a water cable from the farmers house to mine.

[@reflectionsinthebible3579]

I hope all the wood is treated for rain. I imagine it is. But even treated wood doesn’t last all that long. I hope she keeps up the treatment on all that wood.

[@kimfindlay3500]

Did you casually say the toilet has caught fire twice? Was this operator error? Thinking of getting a Cinderella toilet, but not keep on fires!

[@kulaihula]

My bad One time there wasnt enough ventilation so there was smake everywhere. The second time there wasnt enough waight in the bag so it was cought in the middle of the hatch. Then the flames came out from the burningpot.

[@curlyjen1507]

The most important information for me is: On whose ground is the house? Does the land belong to relatives or is it rented? Or tolerated for a limited time? In Germany, for example, it is not easy to find a property on which a tiny house is allowed.

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

The rules vary in Norway depending on which county you live. Some counties have banned them, some require a permit, some have set rules and time limits but it varies so much for each little area.

[@curlyjen1507]

@@TinyLivingScandinavia Thanks for the answer. I would find this information important right at the beginning of every video in every country. That way you can get a better impression and it would be good for decision-making. Maybe you decide to go to another country because you can live there as you want.

Erfaringene med vaskemaskin/ tørketrommel i en og samme: Hva er de? Jeg har lest mange ( norske) kommentarer på nett om at dette fungerer meget dårlig, at ting ikke blir tørt, at det tar latterlig lang tid osv. Hva er din erfaring rundt dette? Ellers: Takk for titten og kos deg i minihuset ditt!❤️

[@TinyLivingScandinavia]

Hi Marianne, I actually have the same washer/dryer in my own tiny house and it does a great job - the only thing is that you need to do slightly smaller loads than a regular washing machine so that it dries fully. Overall I’m very happy with it and would definitely recommend to others 😊

[@mariannerognerud]

@@TinyLivingScandinavia Thanks! Good to know!

[@cjevans6365]

Why did the Cinderella toilet catch fire? I’ve always thought I’d choose a Cinderella toilet for a tiny house, but when you said it caught fire twice, now I’m not so sure… 🤔

[@Widdershins.]

It's my (very limited) understanding that you must include urine with your "deposit" to ensure there's enough weight to make the whole thing fall below the trap and into the flames. If you don't include urine, then adding water will provide the extra weight needed. Too light, and the "package" will not drop far enough, and the flames will occur ABOVE the trap door and inside the toilet, which is obviously not an ideal outcome.

[@cjevans6365]
