Let's start small and simple. First, you need some easy well-known tricks that will instantly change up your space!
One of the oldest tricks in the book. Mirrors also reflect both natural and artificial light. That means they make a room brighter during the day and night. Placing a mirror near a window to reflect the world outside is especially effective.
The most essential part of making a small space work is storage. That means you will need to get creative. The ceiling, the floor, under the stairs, under the bed, every nook and cranny you can think of; make it storage.
You may need a desk and a dining table, but do you really need them 24-7? Instead, think about installing furnishings that can fold up when not in use. You’ll free up floor space and avoid inevitable clutter. If you have a one-wall kitchen, folding doors can conceal clutter when not in use.
Nothing makes your space feel bigger and brighter than natural light. It's best not to obstruct the path of light by eliminating unnecessary solid surfaces. Also, be mindful of what type of curtains you chose. The rails you chose should be long enough to leave the window space clear when the curtains are pulled apart.
With all these effective tips you are guaranteed success. Not only will it make your space more stylish but enhance the illusion that it is bigger and if you lack natural light, brighter!
Now that we covered the do’s let’s move on to the things that will make your space something you just want to escape. When it should be your personal oasis.
Let’s say you have that one favorite sofa chair you bought when you were in college at a yard sale. It was the best part of your old place, but now you’ve downsized and it just doesn’t fit without using up too much space. If it is not essential to your place it’s not something you need. Clutter is your worst enemy and now your favorite chair is too.
We all know about that one awkward corner in your house that you keep ignoring hoping it’ll go away. Don’t shy away from it. Make it a storage space or if it’s next to a window? Hello, window seat aesthetic.
Just because your space is small doesn’t mean you have to just throw all style and aesthetics in the wind. Make it your own, if you like patterns and funky designs don’t shy away from them. The last thing you need is a small space that doesn’t feel like it’s your own, so just have fun with it!
With these tips, we might save you from making some mistakes and help you correct others. Moving on from general tips, let's focus on the living room. Some might even say the living room is the essence of your house.
When even what is supposed to be your biggest space is tiny, it’s hard to try and make it seem big, light, and flowy. BUT, thank god we live in the incredible age of the internet. Getting stuck means you just hop onto Pinterest. If you end up wasting half your day on a board dedicated only to decorative pillows, that's okay too.
Jokes aside, if you need tips and tricks, we got them.
If you’re one of those people who like their house to be connected and not have every room stand for itself, the most important room is the living room. It is the centerpiece of the space and is what brings it all together.
The soft background color will let the light flow in and visually make the space wider. If you want to be a bit bolder you can always use one wall as an accent wall and put some kind of pattern on it.
Every inch matters, so armless chairs can be a big part of your saving space. Their slender-by-inches footprint can make the difference between enough seating and overcrowded.
Extra points if you make it multipurpose.
A multipurpose ottoman is exactly the kind of thing you need in a small space. Coffee tables are usually angular and they can go very quickly from a cute thing you bought on sale to something you keep bumping into and then hopping around in a silent scream because you once again, stubbed your toe.
You got a tiny house and now you can go anywhere with it right? So why not take advantage of the fact that you can park where you decide is best. Because at the end of the day you can sit down and look up and see the stars. A big plus is also, when the summertime comes it will increase your ventilation letting air flow through all parts of the house.
Space isn’t your space until you have hung up pieces that fit you and reflect your personality. A house will be a house until you make it feel like home. So put up a frame even if it's the only one you have, we guarantee it’ll make it homier.

There is a fine line between cozy and cramped. Choosing a wood floor for a small room presents several unique challenges. The biggest challenge is being able to balance out your compromises, function, and aesthetic. This will be a question you will ask yourself constantly.
How are you supposed to choose something interesting and fun but being able to avoid it looking visually cluttered? Here are a few design tips to help you maximize the potential of any space.
When choosing a color scheme, keep in mind this simple artist’s rule: cool colors recede and warm colors advance. There is a common misconception that dark wood floors should never be used in a small room as they cause it to feel cramped. While dark colors can make a room feel smaller, it is not true that dark woods should be avoided altogether.
If you love dark wood floors, offset them with lighter, cooler tones in your walls and furniture. The contrast of light and dark will be both visually striking and prevent the room from feeling claustrophobic.
Room for practical necessities is more limited in smaller areas. Take advantage of empty walls. Hanging shelves and cupboards free up floor space, and the more of your floor is exposed, the larger the room will feel. Of course, walls shouldn’t only be used functionally. An excellent way to create visual interest without creating clutter is to incorporate repeating motifs both horizontally and vertically. Using the same subtle border or accent pattern on both the floor and the walls can generate a dynamic unity while taking up very little space.
You’ve been obsessed with tiny houses for ages and you finally saved up enough but your budget is tight? Don’t give up, you will just have to be more creative with how you spend your money.
You lived in a normal-sized house and how you think most of your furniture is too big. That may be true but that doesn’t mean you can’t refurbish it. Not only is that better for the environment it’s also better for your wallet. If you have a huge bookshelf, cut it up and make a smaller one. All the wood that you have can be reused and you will be able to make furniture completely customizable to your needs!
Before you embark on this journey of downsizing you will probably have to become a DIY expert. If you have a family member that loves to do some woodworking now is the time to get on their good side.
You should probably prepare yourself for watching hours on end of Youtube videos!
This is the best way to save money. Save on building materials by scouring used building supply businesses, check on local vacant houses who are set to be deconstructed or even any construction site ( but ask them first.)
Start reclaiming wood months before you start building to ensure you have the best materials you want and all the wood you need.
The smaller you build, the less money you will spend on materials. Do you really need a bigger tiny house?
Perhaps an 18-foot Tiny House is better for your shoestring budget. Adhere to the saying: “If you build it, you will fill it.” The larger the house, the more belongings you will have. Building a smaller abode will save you more money in the long run.
Small appliances can take up a lot of your budget fast, especially when you’re not buying the small versions but the extra small ones. Do you really need a microwave or a tiny dishwasher? Would you be able to settle for washing your dishes by hand? These are all very important questions to ask yourself when building your house. Opt for buying used appliances or try to live without.
Now that you know all the tips and tricks to have a perfect tiny house that fits your design needs, all you need to do is get to work and make that small house a small home!
