What are Tiny Houses? The Tiny House Movement? Tiny Living?

It can be described as a social movement in which people downsize the space they are living in.  The average American home is around 2600 sq. ft.  A tiny house can be anywhere between 100-400 sq. ft.  Small houses can be a bit larger than tiny houses, but still save you money on mortgages and utilities.

A tiny house can come in a variety of shapes and forms, too.  Some people use sheds, RVs, buses, trailers, and more for their tiny house structure.  All tiny houses focus on smaller spaces and simplified living.

People are joining the tiny house movement for a variety of reasons, but the most popular seem to be because of environmental concerns, financial concerns and seeking more time and freedom. 

Most Americans spend 1/3 to 1/2 of their income on housing and utilities.  This can mean you are working 15 years of your life just to pay for having a roof over your head.

Many choose tiny house living, because they are tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and they want to enjoy life and living more.

Tiny house living allows you to simplify and declutter your life. You have no choice but to keep only the things you absolutely need, or that you can't live without (or so you may think).

Of course you can always rent a storage area and store items you want to keep that won't fit into your tiny house, then after a few years, if you find you no longer want those items you can sell them or give them away.

Some people have a piece of land on which they place their tiny house, while others place theirs on the land of a friend or family member.

Imagine a tiny house in the woods, by the shore, or anywhere you desire!

Some tiny houses are called tiny house RVs, and you can haul many of them behind a standard truck, so you can explore the world around you, and keep the comforts of home.

You can decorate your tiny house to suit your tastes. Choose from rustic to modern decor.  Some people like the interior space to be mostly wood, while others prefer plaster.

Multi-functional furniture is the way to go.  Tables and desks that fold up when not in use, and loft beds that feature two beds, or a bed with a futon sofa, chair, or desk underneath.

You'll learn to use your space wisely when you live in a tiny house.  Wall storage, storage under cupboards and beds, and even storage within the floors are popular choices.
