If there’s one thing people fear when deciding whether to downsize to a tiny home, it’s the cold weather. ‘Will I be warm enough in a tiny home?’ ‘Is it hard to keep a tiny home warm?’ Those are just some of the many questions regularly asked.
The newest creation of the Oregon-based company Tru Form Tiny takes all the guesswork and concern out of it. To answer those questions: Yes, you will be warm enough.
From the high-R-value insulation and energy-efficient Low-E windows to the heating system engineered for subfreezing temperatures, Tru Form delivers with a climate-driven design philosophy. What’s more, all utility systems in this beautiful four-seasons tiny home support off-grid flexibility. No matter your location, your comfort and warmth for everyday life are well taken care of.
This modern and inviting tiny home is the crème de la crème of all-season living. Designed for full-time occupancy in the harsh winter climate of Northern Colorado, it boasts an abundance of four-season performance features for peace of mind.
Externally, this 38-foot tiny home by Tru Form Tiny in Oregon boasts an eye-catching design with cedar accents, iron ore, and a tri-fold glass entry door.
As you enter through the glass entry door, you’re guided into a modern, warm, and welcoming living area with high ceilings that offer the illusion of extra space. The well-equipped kitchen is to the right, while the living and dining area is to the left.
It’s hard not to fall in love with the living area, with its fresh white walls and pine ceilings to brighten the interior. The durable flooring throughout is designed to support the region’s snowy conditions.
The occupants of this tiny home stay warm year-round thanks to the wood stove. There’s nothing quite like watching the warm glow of the fire while snow silently falls outside. The high-efficiency mini-split further supplements that warmth.
While the large windows let in plenty of gorgeous natural light, heat remains inside the tiny home thanks to its energy-efficient design, with low-E glass paired with high-R-value insulation.
The kitchen is any home cook’s personal paradise. The easy-care plank flooring complements the light pine ceilings and fresh white walls. The gorgeous wood countertops are the icing on the cake. You can also look at what’s happening outside while you prepare meals.
While the large windows drench the kitchen in sunlight, there are also additional ceiling lights to brighten the space on those duller winter days. What’s more, a full-size gas stove takes pride of place near them.
Best of all, there’s no need to tie yourself to a camping ground or residential address. This tiny home has tankless hot water and utility systems for off-grid flexibility.
Storage is a prominent feature in this tiny home. A short hallway with a storage built into the stairs leads you through into the oversized bathroom and laundry area.
The laundry area in this tiny home is certainly not an afterthought. There is plenty of room for all parts of the washing, drying, and organising process. The sleek black tile floors complement the light ceilings and walls.
Instead of incorporating a traditional downstairs bedroom, Tru Form Tiny utilised the space for a larger bathroom. A gorgeous wood vanity with a black top and vanity pairs beautifully with the black barn door and black floor tiles.
Living tiny doesn’t have to mean giving up luxury and comfort. A generous tiled shower with a glass door is the crown jewel of this room.
The loft bedroom is easily accessible via the storage-laden staircase in the main living area. You’ll undoubtedly appreciate the standing room by the wardrobe and drawers, the raised bed, and the windows. Being on both sides, they provide a delightful cross-breeze during the warmer months. It’s a relaxing, calming, and modern space with fresh white walls and easy-care flooring.
