Bigger is better, right? Not anymore! Tiny homes are the latest trend for both home buyers and home builders. From small cabins to budget houses to granny flats, it’s clear that the saying “less is more” is finally starting to ring true. You might think that smaller spaces means less room for creativity, but you’d be wrong. In fact, these tiny homes and granny flats tend to be far more diverse and creatively designed than full-sized homes and McMansions that often all look the same. People are building rustic cabins, mid-century modern flats, urban industrial lofts, and even treehouses. There’s a lot of inspiration to be had with the inside of a tiny home as well. Having such a limited amount of space in which to both store your belongings and live comfortable forces you to get creative. And people have developed some great solutions. From lofted beds to rooftop patios to Murphy style kitchen tables that fold up into the wall, people everywhere are finding ways to still have it all in their small homes. Here are some of our favorite ways to make a tiny home more usable and livable. Build a lofted bed. This might be the most popular method for creating more space in everything from small houses to shared kids’ bedrooms to dorm rooms. Elevating the bed gives you plenty of space underneath for a desk, bookshelves, or a living area. You can easily buy a lofted bed, but they are usually twin beds, and they’re not as fun as some of the custom built ones out there. People are starting to build hanging beds into their homes, for example. Shorten the rope, add a ladder, and you have yourself a lofted bed. Get a futon. Another popular option, couches that convert into beds solve a lot of space issues by being multi-functional. Even if you do get yourself a lofted bed, you might want to consider a sofa-bed for your living area as well so that you can host guests. This solves the biggest problem with tiny living – not being able to have friends and family stay over! Build a Murphy table. Murphy-style furniture, or furniture that folds down from the wall and then folds back up when you’re done, has gone out of style a bit. But we don’t think it’s deserved its reputation as outdated, and with the surge in tiny homes, it’s only a matter of time before these come back in style. You can build a Murphy table to serve as your dining area with folding chairs that hang from wall pegs, or you can build a Murphy desk if you need some space to do work. This is only the start. There are plenty of inventive ideas out there for creating small, multi-purpose living spaces that are cozy instead of cramped. Get those creative juices flowing, and go small!
