Tiny House: “How Do I…?”

Great use of minimal space

If you’re spending any time at all contemplating downsizing your living space, you might be wondering if it is actually feasible for you, personally. Yeah, it sounds good to only have to fund, heat, clean, and cool a space less than 1000 square feet, but could you do it?

What is the first word you think of when looking at the image above? Is it “cozy” or is it “cramped?” I think “cozy” and well-organized but claustrophobics among us may not.

There is also the issue of appliances and other “necessaries” for day-to-day living. Notice the smaller refrigerator and more narrow stove. Is this okay with you or might it create a problem?

Most of this depends on the size of your particular family unit. Obviously a family with 4 active kids would likely not survive in this tight environment. But for those just starting out or for us older – but still intrepid – lifestyle hunters, might a smaller space be plenty? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at properties with a nice home – but too large for me, on a squat, quarter-acre of land. 99% of the time I am much more concerned about my privacy and peace and quiet, than in a mansion-style home. Give me 1000 square feet of living space on 5 acres and I will be happy.
