Downsizing to a tiny house isn't for everyone—no more spare bedrooms, walk-in closets, or the space to host a large dinner party. But for those who have chosen to forgo the McMansion for a living space that fits on a flat-bed trailer, life is simpler, finances aren't as tight, and traveling with all of your belongings is very possible. For crowded city-dwellers, the under-300-square-foot home is not far from reality. But if you're currently reading this from your bonus room/sunroom/home office/large sectional sofa, you might be thinking, These people are nuts geniuses.
We could all do with a little less stuff, right? And while we might not be ready to downsize in quite the same way tiny-home owners have, we could all take some lessons from the people who live in homes where every square inch has a purpose. Click through for lessons and photos from three women who call a tiny house their family's home, and prepare to be amazed at how well designed, laid-out, and organized these tiny-but-mighty homes are.
