Simple and Practical Tiny Cottage That’s Not Really a Home

It was love at first sight when I laid eyes on this simple and practical tiny cottage by Monika Hibbs. I was surprised to find out that no one lives in this adorable small dwelling. It’s actually a store that looks like a home. The idea is that visitors can see products in living spaces to help them choose items. Regardless, this would be a charming place to call home. Take a look!

Located in Vancouver, Canada, the tiny cottage was crafted from a trailer to serve as a shoppable home. There are so many quaint details throughout, including the front Dutch door painted a powdery blue.

A window encased dining nook creates an ideal spot for banquette seating. Gauzy cafe curtains provide privacy while allowing natural light to flow into the tiny cottage.

White and gold is the color palette throughout the kitchen and dining area. The table is set with items that can be purchased from Monika’s online store.

The kitchen features Shaker cabinets and open shelving, along with a pretty farmhouse sink and gooseneck faucet.

From this angle you can see the round window in the peak of the dining area. The gold hardware and custom cabinetry lend elegance and charm while a windowpane rug provides texture underfoot.

The vaulted white ceiling throughout the trailer creates the illusion of space. This little cottage on wheels feels larger than most tiny houses.

A pale gray-blue runner is painted on the simple staircase leading to the loft area. Beneath the loft is enough room for a small sofa and television.

When you’re dealing with limited square footage, you need to make the most of every inch. Shelves were added under the staircase for additional storage.

Simple blue and white artwork adds interest in color.

The cozy loft provides comfort while catching a few winks. A row of windows lets in natural light while a sconce lamp can be turned on for bedside reading at night.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at this adorable tiny cottage by Monika Hibbs. Too bad it’s not available to rent for an overnight stay!
