I’m pretty sure we have well-established that you can’t go wrong with a container home.

Whether you want to make a spectacular home or just a minimalistic weekend getaway, a shipping container can deliver both. And let’s not forget that it is just a fraction of the price of a traditional home!

If you’re new to the whole container home scene and are thinking “What is this all about?”, don’t worry! Stick around, and you’ll be fully in the loop in no time.

Located in the breathtaking area of Texas, this minimalistic container home has everything you need for the most comfortable stay ever.

The front door features a stunning patio with two lounge chairs. This is a perfect little area for your morning coffee or some star gazing late at night.

As you walk through the front door, you will find yourself inside a single 40-foot shipping container that has been transformed into a thing of beauty.

First comes the living room.

This living room houses a beautiful orange couch that is guaranteed to be the most comfortable thing to sit in. Above it is a stunning decoration that really ties in the whole place, making it feel warm and comforting.  

Across the couch is a flatscreen TV that will happily play your favorite show while you lounge around and enjoy your day.

OMG, Those Shelves!

Making your way through the living room, you will stumble into the kitchen.

I absolutely love the design of this space.

A long kitchen counter stretches across the main wall housing all the necessities. From a sink, cooktop, and microwave oven to a mini dishwasher, you have everything you could possibly need to make the most delicious meal ever.

Floating above it are incredible industrial-styled shelves. Even though this is such a small detail that holds your plates, pots, and pans, it still adds tons of character to the space. Truly magical.

A Cool Feature You’ll Love

Right across the kitchen is a little window that hides a really cool feature – a foldable dining table. Apart from giving you loads of space when it is folded down, it also allows you to enjoy your delicious cooking creations with a breathtaking view!

All The Pretty Details

Next is the bathroom.

I am going to be totally honest with you, I was quite shocked when I saw how big this bathroom was!

When you open the sliding bar door, you will find yourself in a little spa.

Featuring a white and brown color pallet, this bathroom truly makes you feel welcome. With a white floating vanity, toilet, and a full-sized shower, you are guaranteed to walk out nice and clean every time.

I absolutely love how the shelves are being incorporated into this space. They are extremely practical and super cute!

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Last, but certainly not least, is the bedroom.

Housing an incredibly soft bed, this bedroom will have you sleeping like a baby every single night.

Even though it’s quite a minimalistic space, the design is absolutely breathtaking.

Next to the queen-sized bed, and behind the little nightstand is a featured wall painted black. With the light fixture, mirror, and some decorations, this little detail makes a huge difference.

Not only does it make the space feel cozier, but it also makes you forget the fact that you are in such a tiny place. It’s like magic!

One More Thing Before You Go

This quirky mural transforms a simple container into a vibrant desert daydream. A cluster of happy prickly pears stands tall against a cheerful blue sky, their juicy red fruits practically begging for a close-up.

It’s the kind of art that makes you crave sunshine, a cool drink, and maybe a road trip out West—because even cacti here are living their best life! Bonus points for giving a glow-up that’s straight-up Instagram-worthy.
