If several people live in the house at once, for example, parents and a child, a two-story sleeping place can be installed in one part of the room. A comfortable sleeping corner can be arranged in a 6x4 meter room.
Kitchen
In a kitchen 10-12 meters in size, you need to store everything you need. Usually there is a small electric stove with two burners, a mini-fridge and a sink. Open or closed shelves for storing crockery and other items are usually mounted above the workspace. Free space is reserved for the dining area. In a 5 by 8 room, you can easily arrange everything that is needed for the life of a small family.
Bathroom
Small mobile homes usually share a bathroom with a toilet. But in some cases, a separate room with a dry closet is allocated for it. The layout depends on the number of people living in the mobile home and their needs.
In the corridor, in the remaining free space, you can arrange a work area or a mini-living room. To do this, just put a table or a compact sofa with a coffee table against the wall. Furniture is best used convertible. For example, folding sofas and a folding table. Also, in the living room, you can select a corner for a pet who travels or lives with his family.

For storing all the necessary things, narrow, elongated shelves made of light wood and glass are suitable.
Shabby chic room
For travelers who spend most of their lives on the road, this style is perfect. The furniture in the room is vintage and slightly sloppy. The mobile home is decorated with soft textiles - blankets, curtains, carpets. In such a room there is room for all the knickknacks bought on the road.

In a small building, it is worth placing only the most necessary furniture. All shelves and cabinets must be closed.
