# Modern Family Tiny Homes The Laurel Tiny Home Sleeps Four in 423 Square Feet By Amy Duong | Published 2026-08-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-laurel References: [teacuptinyhomes](http://teacuptinyhomes.com/)  The Laurel tiny home is a custom build by Teacup Tiny Homes based on the company's Bernice plan. Measuring 423 square feet on a 34-foot triple-axle trailer, the road-legal home accommodates up to four people while remaining within the standard 8.5-foot transport width. White vertical siding, a black metal roof, and a [modern farmhouse interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cedar-ridge) define the design, while propane-powered underfloor heating, integrated staircase storage, an electric fireplace, and white tongue-and-groove walls maximize comfort throughout the compact layout. The galley kitchen includes a four-burner propane stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, twin-basin stainless steel sink, dishwasher, and a dining table for two. A sliding barn door opens to a bathroom with an L-shaped vanity, flushing toilet, and a combined bathtub and shower, a feature rarely found in [road-legal tiny homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/currumbin).
