A Corner Bedroom with a Double Bed

A corner sleeping room with a double bed can give your double container room an extra gorgeous look without taking up a lot of space.

Your sleeping room can also clearly feature a double-glazed glass partition. With this, you will create a clear separation between your bedroom and bathroom. Either way, a well-designed sleeping room is essential for your container home.

A Kitchen in the Opposite Corner

In every custom home, a lot of the money goes to the kitchen, and in a container home where you will probably be living with your family, a kitchen will be essential. Having your kitchen at the other corner of your well-designed container home is a perfect design trick.

Having dual purpose rooms is critical in designing small homes. So what do you do when you want to create an even smaller and cozier area within an open-plan layout? There are several ways you can achieve this without spending much.

In a container home, having your kitchen next to the drawing-room wouldn’t make much sense. One would often feel the need to separate them. A glass wall separator is a perfect way of getting this done; it creates the illusion of more expansive interior space.

The most high-grade way to insert a partition is with a glass wall that separates the areas without taking away from the brightness.

Consider a Wooden Tile Floor

There are many different tile types that will add more energy efficiency and design appeal to your container house. However, the wooden tile floor seems to be the most popular type right now for some reason. Let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of the wooden tile floor:

Pros:

Durability – If you are looking for something that will stand out and not get ruined, the wooden tile floor will be a great option.

Water resistance – With the wooden tile floor, you won’t have to worry about your floor getting damaged by water.

It looks like real wood – The processes used in creating wooden tiles makes them look realistic.

Cons:

It can make your home loud – While this might sound like a con, it can also not be, since this depends on the people living in your home and how you live, as well.

Uncomfortable to walk on – Since wooden tiles aren’t like soft rugs, they might sometimes be less comfortable to walk on. Either way, the wooden tile is an excellent addition to your double container home design.

Entrance Door Adjacent to the Kitchen

It doesn’t matter if your home opens up to a classic hallway or a well-decorated kitchen by the corner. It’s the first impression a visitor gets when entering your home. Not just your visitor, but you as well; it’s the first spot that welcomes you to your home after work every evening.

Your double container home having your kitchen close to your entranceway is an excellent design trick. Place a nice looking table or island in the middle of the kitchen, and have all cooking materials by the corner of your kitchen.

Bathroom Adjacent to the Bedroom

A bedroom that has an adjoining bathroom is called an en-suite or an attached bath. Most of the time, it’s next to your master bedroom. The master bedroom is a large private room in a house or flat.

A bedroom next to a bathroom is also possible in a double container house. Having a glass wall between the bedroom and the bathroom can be a pleasant design feature in your container home.

Large Double Glazed Glass Windows to Conserve Energy

If you are looking to replace a window pane, then compared to single glazed glass, double glazed glass is highly energy-efficient. Double glazed glass helps in the reduction of heat and noise penetrating your home.

Since top containers allow massive amounts of heat in and out, insulating the double glazed glass in your home will be the most eco-friendly window glazing option in your home.

Double glazed glass not only prevents heat from penetrating your home, it also gets your home looking gorgeous. Rather than just reducing heat and noise in your home, double glazed glass has many other fantastic benefits.

A Terrace with a Frameless Glass Railing

A glass railing is known as a protective barrier. It’s transparent and clear for a better outside view that maximizes visibility. These railings are in residential, business, and public areas.

How do you choose the best railing glass for your container home? When selecting a glass railing for your home, you should consider the thickness, transparency (for a clear outside view), security features, and safety precautions. Tempered glass is best for this purpose.

Below are some advantages and disadvantages of the glass railing for your container home:

Advantages

• The glass railing maximizes light and allows for a clearer outside view
• It is suitable for various types of environments

Disadvantages

• Needs regular cleaning especially on rainy days

A Home Gym or Yoga Studio

A gym and yoga space made out of a container is one of the most in-demand features of modern container homes recently. Here are some reasons you need to allocate an area for your home gym and yoga studio:

• They are well secure
• Comfortable
• Private
• No queues
• No expensive subscriptions
• Weatherproof
• Long-lasting and hard-wearing
• Adaptable

Container homes are well fortified and secure. Your home gym setup will ultimately depend on the equipment and space you use to get it set up.

Some people need only a small portion of the room to have their gym and yoga setup complete. Others need a whole room for their gym and yoga needs. Either way, a small area in your well-designed container home for your regular gym and yoga training can fit in.
