There is no doubt that tiny house living can have its challenges. To begin with, there’s this need to prioritize which things can go with you and which ones you should donate or throw away. But these are small concerns compared to the many benefits that await the new tiny house homeowners.
Why Americans Choose 2,200 Square Feet
Americans are obsessed with the tiny homes for many reasons. One of the leading reasons is that tiny homes break the bank the least. With many millennials now starting to pay off their college loans, owning a small home means minimal maintenance and lower costs.
These days, tiny homes are no longer just for impoverished people anymore. Plus, wouldn’t you want to pay for less interest, lower down payment, and sign up for a greener lifestyle? Living tiny also means you are mobile and, therefore, freer.
The Hooker Furniture Living Room Nesting Tables are perfect for tiny house living because they ‘nest’ into each other when they are not both being used.
Smart Decorating Guide for Small Spaces
Living in a smaller space does not mean that you have to compromise with regard to style.
So what could you do to beautify your tiny home? You can begin with the kitchen storage. You would have to let go of the usual kitchen cupboards and learn to love the more open and organized shelving that go well with smaller kitchens.
A dining area and the kitchen can be in one space but the segregation could still be evident by having a line of demarcation. A small divider would do and so does an area rug.
When you’re out to deal with a tiny bedroom, then you can take this as an opportunity to sneak in a small home office in the same space. A nook between two tiny closets can become your tiny home office. Just take the time to decorate it with books a small desk and a tiny chair such as the Orient Express Furniture Bar and Game Room Maison Counter Stool.
When it comes to the tiny bathroom, your best friends are going to be the small canisters which you can glamorize with buttons, sequins, and such. Use wicker baskets on shelves so that you present an interesting place for your toilet knickknacks.
You can also store toiletries right under the vanity.
Another way to make a space appear seemingly larger is to keep everything light – from your lighting choices to the materials that are used on your furnishings. Just have one focal color for a power-packed design punch but keep the rest of your space, light, crisp, and airy. Adding mirrors is also one of the oldest tricks in the world of interior design when it comes to opening up any space.
Curtain and other dividers can also be used to lightly divide two separate spaces. Use sheer curtain instead of heavy draperies. An Asian-inspired sheer curtain would be perfect as an addition to an airier atmosphere.
As for window treatments, you can visually add to space by using floor-to-ceiling curtains. Those extra high ceilings in tiny homes aren’t there for no reason. Despite the smaller floor plan, you see, those high ceilings can make all the difference.
All in all, tiny living means you have to define the spaces that can have multiple purposes. A multipurpose space can be that bedroom and home office as mentioned, or a living room that can become the bedroom at night as the daybed unfolds to reveal a comfy, plush bed. You can also use spaces that are not normally utilized such as that space beneath the stairs.
It’s also all about getting creative. Whether you have small kids or pets, you just have to be more creative in terms of storage, dual-purpose on furniture, etc.
