The Scandi Inn is a tiny house that draws inspiration from Scandinavian design. It features an attractive wooden interior and a minimalist style. The home measures 270 square feet (25 square meters) and focuses on smart, space-saving ideas.

Backcountry Tiny Homes designed the Scandi Inn. It sits on a triple-axle trailer and is 24 feet (7.3 meters) long. This size is smaller for North American tiny houses, more like European models. The exterior combines metal and cedar siding.

Inside the Scandi Inn

The interior walls and ceiling are finished with tongue-and-groove pine, and the floors are hardwood. This combination creates a cozy, cabin-like feel. The entrance leads into a compact living room. It has an L-shaped sofa and feels bright due to a large window.

The kitchen takes up most of the ground floor's space. It includes an oven, a four-burner propane cooktop, a sink, and a fridge/freezer. A two-person breakfast bar offers space for dining or working. The kitchen also has generous cabinetry, including a large pull-out pantry.

The bathroom is on the opposite side of the home from the entrance. It features a walk-in shower, a flushing toilet, a vanity sink, and space for a washer/dryer.

Sleeping and Storage

The Scandi Inn has two loft-style bedrooms. The main bedroom is above the bathroom. It is accessed by a staircase with built-in storage and fits a double bed. A small green wall section adds a touch of color to the room.

The secondary loft is above the living room. A removable ladder leads to this space. It could be a smaller bedroom, but it lacks an egress window, which is legally required for a bedroom. Therefore, it might be better suited for storage.
