Some Construction You See, Some You Don't

Tiny houses are becoming increasingly popular as more people look to downsize their lives. If you're thinking of building your own custom-built tiny house, there are a few ways to maximize the space you have available. This article highlights three helpful tips for designing the perfect tiny house.

Utilize Vertical Space

Vertical space is often overlooked as a way to maximize the area you have available in your tiny house. It's important to use the walls and ceilings for storage. This will help keep items off the floor, making your tiny house look and feel more spacious.

Consider adding shelves, cabinets, and lofts throughout your home to take advantage of all of its nooks and crannies. Custom-built shelves are especially helpful, as they can be designed using your exact measurements. You can even install shelves up to the ceiling if you don't need access to that area.

Choose the Layout Wisely

When designing your tiny house, it's important to think about how you will use the space. Consider which areas of your home will be living spaces, bedroom spaces, and storage areas. Your tiny house's layout should be designed around how you want to use the space.

For example, if you plan on having a living and sleeping area, you may want to position the bed close to a window to allow for natural light and ventilation. This will create an open feeling in your tiny house and help you make the most of its compact design. The aim is to make your tiny house feel more like home, even if it is small in size.

Utilize Multipurpose Spaces

Incorporating multipurpose spaces into the design of a tiny house is key to maximizing its potential. Transform an unused corner into a workspace, build out a small closet as an extra sleeping area, or even put in a Murphy bed to make the most of your space.

To transform an unused area into a functional space, think about the ways you want to use it. If it's going to be used as an office, make sure that the furniture and layout are designed to maximize productivity. Built-in features such as custom drawers, shelves, and cabinets can help utilize dead space and provide enough visual interest to make it feel more like a living space.

With these few tips, you can be sure to make the most out of your tiny house and create a living space that is as comfortable and cozy as it is stylish. All you need is some creativity and strategic planning, and your tiny dream home can become a reality.
