How many bedrooms can a tiny home have?

It's now normal to build larger tiny houses that include two bedrooms, three bedrooms, or even four bedrooms. While less is more when it comes to adopting the tiny house lifestyle, that doesn't mean you can't live in a tiny house if you want a little more space.

Oftentimes, families and couples look to tiny living to change their way of life. But in the early days of the movement, people built tiny houses that were much smaller than they are today. Now, families and young couples are building their houses on larger trailers in search of a complete lifestyle shift — one with less stress, more financial freedom, and better control over how they spend their time. When I first started building, I wasn’t sure if I could fit all of my needs into such a small space. However, I’ve learned that building a tiny house that feels open and comfortable is possible. There are many design and layout variations for three-bedroom tiny houses that can accommodate a family or guests without making the house feel crowded. Here’s what you need to know.

Hi, I’m Ryan

A tiny house with 3 bedrooms is plenty of space for a family, if you plan it well. The best three bedroom floorplans tend to separate the bedrooms to the opposite ends of the house, leaving the shared spaces like the kitchen, living room, and dining room acting as buffers, so everyone can find a little personal space in a tiny home.

Explore these options to find the bedroom floorplan that’s best for you:

Can You Build A Tiny House With Three Bedrooms?

When people think about switching to tiny living, they usually picture a one-bedroom tiny house. But the tiny house world is rapidly expanding and with it, the number of amazing designs for all walks of life. It’s now normal to build larger tiny houses that include two bedrooms, three bedrooms, or even four bedrooms. While less is more when it comes to adopting the tiny house lifestyle, that doesn’t mean you can’t live in a tiny house if you want a little more space. Adding more bedrooms won’t take away from your experience if you’re intentional about how you design your home and your life.

Why Should You Consider A Three Bedroom Tiny House?

Before you begin designing your tiny interior, think about the reasons you are considering building it in the first place. Doing some hard soul searching will give you great clarity into what you need out of your tiny home. You should also consider the individual needs of each person that will be living in the house. Are you single, a couple, or a family? Each person will have specific requirements that must be met for a tiny house to function optimally.

Living In A Tiny House As A Couple

Living in such a small space with your partner isn’t for the faint of heart. Both people really have to want to live tiny if it’s going to work. What I’ve found living in my own tiny house is that making the switch can bring a new level of fulfillment to your daily life. Part of being an adult is making the decisions that work for you while balancing your responsibilities, and sometimes that means committing to your desires even if they go against the grain. If you and your partner crave simplicity, building a tiny house could be a solid start. You might be looking to escape the demands of the city and create a quieter life. Or maybe you want to build a tiny vacation home or travel across the country. It’s possible that a one-bedroom tiny home will suffice for the needs of you and your partner. However, you may want an extra bedroom or two to travel with family, have friends stay in your home, or make room for future children. If this is the case, you should consider two bedrooms or three bedroom tiny houses.

DESIGN FEATURES TO CONSIDER FOR A COUPLE Do you need one or multiple bedrooms?

Do you need a large or small kitchen?

Do you need a guest bed? Do you want your tiny house to be mobile or fixed?

Do you want a TV, bookshelf or a wine cabinet?

Do you want a yard or rooftop deck?

Building A Tiny House For A Growing Family

Whether you are newlyweds looking for a house your family can grow into or you already have children, creating a tiny house that works for you is totally possible. If your plan is to build a three-bedroom tiny house for you and your kids to live in, my first piece of advice is to think about the individual needs your family has. This can include anything from the features your kids might want to giving parents a quiet space to get away from it all to the land you park it on.

Looking To A 3 Bedroom Tiny House For Extra Space

Maybe you’re considering a larger tiny house just because you need extra room for potential guests, extra activities, or just because you want to build a bigger house. Even if you don’t plan to move your family into your tiny house or use it to travel with a partner, a small home can still be a great option for living a simpler life. Here are some tips for including an extra bed in your tiny house without making your house feel cramped:

Put a fold out couch in the living room

Keep a floor bed or air mattress in the closet to bring out for guests

Which Three Bedroom Tiny House Design Is Right For You?

Two Story For Family With Guest Room

This floorplan is nice for families with one kid who want to host the occasional guest. The ground floor includes an open living room with a full dining and kitchen area. The bathroom features a tub as well as a washer and dryer. The primary bedroom on the ground floor includes one queen bed. The loft space has two sleeping areas — one at the back with a queen bed and one at the front with a twin bed.

Two Story With Kids Room And Two Lofted Queens (Plus Sofabed)

This floorplan is similar to the one above but with a slightly different setup. The kids’ room on the ground floor is next to the full bathroom as well as a washer and dryer. The dining room and kitchen are closed off to the living room. The lofted floor has two queen beds, great for one couple and the occasional guest.

Two Story With Kids Room And Two Lofted Queens

This floorplan is almost identical to the floorplan above. However, this plan stacks the washer and dryer and has room for a smaller couch, creating more space in the kids’ room. The setup still has space for a living room that is separate from the kitchen and dining room. It also still has two lofted queen beds, one at the front and one at the back of the trailer.

Two Story Tiny House For Family With Two Kids (+Stairs)

This floorplan is great for a family with two kids. The plan has an open living room with the kitchen and dining spaces connected. It includes a kids’ room on the ground floor which is next to the full bathroom, stacked washer and dryer, and closet. Stairs lead to one side of the loft where there is room for a queen bed, while the other side of the loft is accessed with a ladder and has space for an extra twin bed.

Two Story For Family With Two Kids

This floorplan also has space for a queen bed and two twin beds — a great set up for a growing family with two kids. The layout closes off a kids’ room at the front of the trailer. It also has a full bathroom with a stand-in shower in the corner. The dining, kitchen, and living room areas are connected. The front side of the loft has space for a queen bed while the back side of the loft has space for a twin bed.

How Much Will A Three Bedroom Tiny House Cost?

On average, a three-bedroom tiny house will cost $50,000 to $80,000. They run a bit pricier than one-bedroom and two-bedroom tiny homes because these designs inevitably mean more bathrooms, storage, features, and appliances to make room for more people.
