Introduction
W e currently live in a world where people often get wrapped up in quantity over quality. We see streets lined with modern monstrosities and impressive mansions, but are these massive homes necessary for everyone? Of course, there are always larger families that demand this kind of square footage in a home, but more often than not, this kind of excess is unnecessary. In a time when materialism and consumption seems to be at the highest points, it is refreshing to know of the Tiny House Movement. The Tiny House Movement has introduced luxurious living on a smaller level to the real estate market. This movement has begun quickly, and it is now thriving and catching on at a breakneck speed.
A Tiny House is a small home that has been adapted into a streamlined and livable abode. These homes are generally less than 500 sq. feet, and smaller models often rest on wheels for mobility. Every space and corner is used economically for maximum storage capacity. All features of the home must be leveraged to create functional storage and living spaces. This home allows a more mobile lifestyle. Comforts and possessions exist, but not in such large masses that you do not know what you have or do not have. The idea of downsizing becomes new and improved when partnered with mobility. Living on a smaller scale can cause one to be more appreciative of the important things in lifenot so focused on material possessions.
The absence of mortgage payments, extensive yard maintenance, major home repair bills, and general upkeep of a traditional home can also be motivation for switching to a Tiny House. Tiny Homes still feature essentials like an oven, washer and dryer, and even a bathtub in some designs. There can still be comforts and luxury in your home, but selected and deliberate luxuries exist.
A Tiny House could also be used as a functional space other than a home. Tiny Homes can be amazing offices, guesthouses, or studios. The options are endless and the budget affordable. A Tiny Home can be the answer to your space issues at your current home or an option for a new house. The cutting-edge designs and innovative spaces used are exciting and endless for those who choose to own and/or build a Tiny House.
