The tiny house appeal

The tiny house appeal

The small spaces are usually less than 500 square feet and often on the wheels of a flatbed trailer. The narrow house tends to have a kitchen, bathroom, and sitting area, and usually a loft bedroom.

Tiny houses appeal to home buyers who are not interested in living large. For a small but growing segment of the population, the small dwellings are making homeownership a possibility.

  • Maximising natural light will improve a person's mood while wood grains will have a calming influence. 
  • Ensure to add sound-absorbing surfaces, such as rugs or curtains.
  • Curvy patterns in towels or a rug on the floor can also feel comforting.
  • Keep the space not to complex visually by tucking things out of view.
