Camellia Is a Classic Scandinavian-Style Tiny Home With a Twist

This Polish tiny house builder with a solid reputation across Europe has drawn inspiration from traditional Scandinavian aesthetics and continues to do so with each new design. Mobi tiny homes are some of the most easily recognizable due to their colorful, vibrant exteriors. However, behind those pops of color, connoisseurs will recognize the trademark elements of the Scandinavian style, including abundant woodwork in natural tones, white walls and ceilings, and an overall minimalist approach that stays as close to nature as possible.

The compact Camellia Tiny follows the same line, boasting a beautiful wooden interior with natural-toned walls, a slightly darker floor, and all-white furniture. This classic neutral palette helps create a calming, warm ambiance that's reminiscent of traditional cabins in the woods. The layout is also classic, with a cozy lounge at one end, an open-concept kitchen in the middle, and a bathroom at the other end. There's only one bedroom, and it's located in the loft area, making this a typical one-loft tiny house configuration.

Camellia does stand out, however, and it reveals an unexpected blend of rustic simplicity and contemporary glam. The biggest change can be seen in the kitchen area, which incorporates a tiny but very effective dining corner with a pivoting table and a couple of foldable chairs.

What makes this tiny corner particularly appealing and ingenious is the full-size glazing on the side wall. It acts as a glass wall, transforming the apparently rustic kitchen into a modern and cool cooking/dining area. It's not an actual indoor/outdoor design, but the glass insertion has a tremendous effect of bringing the outdoors in. All of a sudden, the house feels much bigger and brighter. Plus, there's nothing better than enjoying every meal with such a fantastic unobstructed view.

At the same time, the kitchen doesn't lose any benefits by incorporating this stylish dining corner. It still provides ample storage (adequate for full-time living) and a wide cooking surface. Custom-made cabinets were added both under and above the countertop, and a full-size pantry keeps everything neatly organized for a clutter-free space.

Even with these full-size cabinets, there's more than enough room left for the dining area, which could also be considered a multi-function space. Thanks to the natural light and flexible design, owners could take advantage and use it as a home office or a hobby area. Plus, the foldable chairs can be easily stored between the ceiling beams (one of the signature features of most Mobi tiny homes), just like the ladder for the loft bedroom sits on the lounge wall when not in use. All of this is meant to free up precious floor space and prevent this compact interior from becoming cluttered.

All Mobi tiny homes feature custom-made modular furniture by the same brand, which is specifically designed to enhance functionality with minimal space. The same mobile dining table can be moved to the lounge area and used as a coffee table, while the modular sofa doubles as a storage solution and an extra bed when needed. Overall, the lounge design and the sofa placement were carefully meant to offer the best views from any angle and take advantage of the natural light. This is what makes the Camellia Tiny so surprising: despite its compact frame, it boasts the luminosity and openness of bigger models.

The modular sofa also means that up to four people can be comfortably accommodated inside this tiny home under 18 feet. The master bedroom is fitted with high-quality flooring and two windows on the same side for extra sunshine.

There's no built-in furniture, and there's not a lot of room for extra storage, but it's perfectly comfortable for one or two people. Plus, the absence of a safety wall offers a full view of the interior. On the other hand, this is the type of bedroom that's more appropriate for folks who are in good shape and willing to go up and down a ladder every day since there's no classic staircase with a handrail.

The standard bathroom equipment includes a shower cabin with glass doors, a conventional toilet, and a sink with a small vanity that is custom-made. The tiny open-shelf cabinet is also custom-made. A large window keeps this compact bathroom well-ventilated, and a classic barn-style sliding door keeps it private.

Unlike other Mobi tiny homes that add a splash of color to the inside as well, the Camellia shows off its lovely shade of blue only on the outside. The interior sticks to a traditional Scandinavian color scheme based on light, natural tones. Apart from the aesthetic effect, this also helps to create the illusion of greater spaciousness; the full-height glass section in the side wall is the final touch that enhances spaciousness even more while also deepening the connection with the home's natural surroundings.
