Her Indigo River Tiny House in Texas Community

on May 5, 2024

Tia, the executive director of a local non-profit in Texas, grew up in a trailer park and was no stranger to living with less. For her, tiny living, sustainability, and minimalism simply make sense.

Her 364-square-foot home fits not one, not two, but three bedrooms! She uses the third as an office, while the other two serve as her own room and a guest space. The kitchen and living room fill out the main floor, and a functional bathroom tucks in beneath the loft bedroom. It is a clever lesson in how far thoughtful zoning can stretch a small footprint.

A 364-Square-Foot Tiny House with Three Bedrooms

Proof that square footage is not the same as livability, this Indigo River build packs three distinct sleeping and working zones into a footprint most people would call cramped. The secret is vertical thinking: by lofting the primary bedroom and stacking the bathroom beneath it, Tia freed up the main floor for everything else.

A Carefully Chosen Color Palette with Green-Blue Accents

Color does a lot of heavy lifting in a small space, and Tia clearly knew it. A contrasting milk wash and dark oak scheme grounds the interior, while a soft green-blue accent ties the rooms together. Sticking to one consistent palette keeps a compact home feeling calm and intentional rather than busy.

The View from the Loft Bedroom

Looking down from the loft, you get a real sense of how the home is organized. Raising the primary bedroom overhead is what makes the three-bedroom layout possible, opening up the floor below for the kitchen, living area, and that flexible office space.

A First-Floor Bedroom That Doubles as a Home Office

For anyone working from home, this is the standout idea. Tia uses the main-floor bedroom as an office, and sliding privacy walls let her close it off when she needs to focus or open it up to borrow light and space from the rest of the home. It is a smart, dual-purpose solution that more tiny houses should borrow.
