4 Beautifully Designed Tiny Homes

While many home buyers are looking for more square footage, more bedrooms and tons of land, the tiny home movement is seeking to do the opposite. Tiny homes are part of a minimalist trend that helps people live more simply while still maintaining a stylish home that meets all their needs. As more and more people choose the petite style, design has evolved to the point where it is now clear that sacrificing space does not necessarily mean sacrificing style.

Before you start imagining life on a bus, take a look at these beautifully designed tiny homes that will help you live a more economically and environmentally sustainable life in a home that still reflects your personal style.

01 Embrace Separate Rooms

If you think going tiny means you’ll have to live in a one-room trailer or RV, think again. There are plenty of tiny houses out there, like this one from Butikevlersapunk, which proves that you can have a lot of well-defined spaces without taking up a large overall area. This gorgeous, spacious tiny house has a loft bed above the kitchen, a layout common to many tiny houses. This floor plan also includes a living room and even a deck for bird watching.

02 Go Wild for Plants

Do you like plants? The good news is that choosing a tiny house doesn’t have to mean getting rid of all your favorite seedlings. This beautiful little home by hollielovesplants is filled with plants from floor to ceiling, but because the rest of the floor plan is airy and bright, it doesn’t feel too cramped or stuffy.

Plants are a great way to make a small home feel cozy and inviting.

03 A Home Filled With Windows

This tiny house from Wanderinstarfarms has a lot going for it. Located just outside of Austin, this home boasts a little more square footage than some of the smaller modular homes on our list, but still embraces a very minimalist lifestyle. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel larger than it actually is.

04 A Beautiful Sunroom

One of the best things about a small home is that you can focus on the elements you really love and the rooms you’ll use most often. If you love natural light, this stunning cottage in Tyandmakkay has a sunroom to rival any larger home. The high ceilings and two rows of windows make the space feel spacious and very open.
