Top 5 Design Tips for Tiny Homes in Houston Tx

One of the most important parts of building or choosing a tiny home is to consider your personal lifestyle. What home features are most important to you? An experienced tiny home seller can assist you in choosing the right options. Here are a few tips to help you along the way.

Maximize your use of space

Tiny homes offer so many opportunities to get creative in design. While building a tiny home means that you may potentially have fewer closets, there are still many options for storage.

For example, you may find that you want to place storage and/or a coat closet under the stairs heading up to your loft area. Another option we have seen requested are floor to ceiling bookcases. Built-ins around your washer/dryer area offer optimal space to store your cleaning and laundry supplies. The options are almost endless. Let’s get creative!

Consider creating an outdoor living space

While many tiny homeowners choose to have their home on wheels to allow for travel, just as many choose to place the home on a piece of land with no intentions of moving it anytime soon. A patio setting to enjoy your morning coffee or simply read a book can offer you a space of your own.

 

 

Have a loft space  

Tiny homes with a loft no only provide privacy but also allow to create a space of your own. The loft does not have to be a bedroom, it could be a reading nook or shared space. If the tiny home is going on a vacation property, it could be a play loft for the kids. When placed correctly, lofts can also allow for more natural light which reduces your need to add additional lighting for daytime use.

Tiny Home Kitchen

Choose what room you love and make it big!

Depending on the use of your tiny home, you will want to make sure the room you love the most is the largest. For many, this is the kitchen. For you, it may be a common room. Whichever room you absolutely adore, for your attention on that. This may mean being creative with reflective surfaces or simply making space for the chef in you!

 

Get to know your builder or tiny home seller

More importantly, allow them to get to know YOU. To ensure that you are happy with the home or plan you choose, we need to know what is more important to you and your lifestyle. This allows us to get creative and make sure that every unexpected need is met and that your expectations are exceeded.

Tiny Homes in Houston

 Adventure, Sustainability, Downsizing, Minimalist lifestyle. These are only a few reasons that we have found customers wanting to change to a tiny home lifestyle. Here are a few reasons why the tiny home lifestyle may be the right fit for you.

Low Maintenance

People across America are finding that tiny homes have significantly less maintenance than regular single family homes as it is estimated that tiny homes can save you appx. $400 per month. This allows you to do more of the things you love, like travel or save for an early retirement. Adding features such as solar panels can help you save even more, not to mention tiny homes are a fraction of the cost of a traditional single family home.

Minimalism

In a 'society of stuff', it is easy to get overwhelmed with rooms that can't be used because of stacked boxes, full closets, or even the cost of storage units. According to the Wall Street Journal, we spend an estimated $1.2 trillion dollars on things we don't absolutely need. If you are ready to downsize some belongings and commit to buying less stuff, the tiny home lifestyle may be for you. In the end, this can also save you big bucks.

Sustainability  

Lowering your environmental footprint may be a very important piece of your life. Not only can you use sustainably or recycled building materials to make your home, you can do so without sacrificing style. The cost to take a tiny home off the grid is significantly less if your preference is to use a renewable resource. Perhaps you would like to purchase a piece of land to become self-sufficient and start homesteading. Sustainability and tiny homes go hand in hand.

These are just a few of the ways that the tiny home lifestyle is helping to provide balance to many.
