Size doesn’t matter – or at least, it doesn’t in these Georgia hills. We tour the small property – currently available to rent

Bigger is better? Mini Mountain Blue – a tiny house in Blue Ridge, Georgia – begs to differ.

‘Charming and discreet’, this property is the epitome of small space style – showcasing a rustic, country (yet contemporary) aesthetic, exactly what you’d want in a home. Home on the mountain. PS, if that’s the answer to your vacation home fantasies – you’re in luck – because Mini Mountain Blue is currently available to rent via Airbnb – and there are a few available for this spring and summer – if you’re quick.

We’re no strangers to finding the best small room ideas – but what happens when one room serves as the entire house? A space like this calls for smart paint ideas and even smarter storage – like what we see in this home. Here, we tour the unique property.

The best impressions start with proper curb appeal, and the Mini Mountain Blue doesn’t disappoint in that department either. Despite its ruggedly small facade, the blue exterior makes a bold yet welcoming statement on the road.

The turquoise blue exterior perfectly complements the greenery; however, it also gives us a hint of the color ideas we can expect to see beyond its wooden front door. We liked the way the color stood out against its background – so naturally, we matched it to the exterior paint underneath.

If you think this turquoise blue looks familiar, you’re probably right. Painting company Backdrop has teamed up with Barbie to bring the exact colors of the iconic Barbie Dreamhouse pool to life. We also think it matches the Mini Mountain Blue’s exterior perfectly.

Inside, the dominant blue color palette really comes into play. As foreshadowed by its vibrant appearance, walls in (lighter) shades of the color are popular – creating a therapeutic space admired by those in the color industry.

“Blue – and all its different shades – is widely loved in interior design,” says Myland owner Dominic Myland. He says color, in all its tones, has lasting appeal and is very versatile. ‘Light blues can be very soothing while darker blues can be stimulating; Desaturated blues are a great choice for creating a quieter backdrop for other colors in a space, and brighter tones can also be the star of the show.’

Light pastel blues, like those seen on these walls, are popular choices for living spaces. According to Dominic, these colors create “a light, bright atmosphere” and provide a calming, peaceful aesthetic that is welcome in any sized home. And, as experts say, blue of all shades has the ability to make a small bedroom or living room feel larger.

“While there is a common misconception that dark blue shades can make a room feel small and unwelcoming, in fact they can make a room feel larger, he says. than. ‘Blue is popular in many different fields, be it nature, art, interiors or fashion. I always recommend looking at color combinations found in nature for inspiration.’

Described as a ‘clean, crisp, cool blue with a hint of grey’, this soft shade is the highlight of Backdrop on blue. Besides the fact that it’s easy to apply, we like how this paint can be easily removed and is green certified, making it a more sustainable choice.

At a slightly higher level, the color palette changes from blue – but its small bedroom decorating ideas are equally stylish. Featuring a distinct patterned wall, the space breaks up the subtle blue color palette by using a decorative stripe technique to create a smart small space look.

“Considered one of the most difficult patterns to execute in the home, stripes and straight lines have the power to appeal to you,” says Yvonne Keal, Senior Product Manager at Hillarys.

‘Dressing vertically is a technique that professional designers have used for years to create the illusion of more space and make small rooms appear more spacious and bright.’

Although described as “remote”, the house is a short drive from downtown and Blue Ridge Lake. However, its small size and surrounding forest make the house feel remote while still being close enough to the amenities of the northern Georgian city.
