How to Thrive in a Tiny Home





Tiny homes are on the rise, and for good reason. They allow you to take the concept of RV living and turn it into a high-end loft. Go on adventures around the country or continent, or find a great location just outside of the city and enjoy living in a luxurious space that would otherwise be outside of your price limit.

Getting accustomed to living in a tiny home can be difficult, but so long as you follow this guide before you put your money towards a tiny house you will be able to enjoy a better life and a better home:

  1. Hire a Professional Design Company


If you are going to thrive in a tiny home that tiny home needs to be designed with you in mind, not someone else. The hyper-customization of tiny houses means more often than not that you are better off hiring a tiny house company to design and build your own tiny home from scratch. That way, the way you live and your interests can be achieved easily within your RV-sized home.

  1. Be Smart with Storage


You need to be very smart with storage so that everything you own can be neatly put away. This is very important as one of the huge draws to tiny houses is their ability to be taken wherever you want to go. You don’t want to drive your tiny house with many fragile items haphazardly on surfaces. You need them all stored away so that they are safe and your home can remain as neat as possible.

  1. Practice Downsizing During the Construction


When your tiny home is being created, you need to start downsizing. In fact, you should have been downsizing already because if you are not able to live out of a suitcase comfortably, you probably will feel constrained by the space in a tiny home.

  1. Plan Out Rest Spots Beforehand


Another great way to spend the time while the construction on your tiny home is ongoing is to work out which properties and sites you can park your tiny home. There are certain restrictions to your type of home and where you can park it so knowing where to go in advance can be a huge stress-saver.

  1. Learn A Few Mechanics Basics


You will want to know how to personally maintain your tiny home. This means how to fix the tire if it flattens, or how to fix the toilet plumbing system on your own should it start to break down. By being involved with the design process, you can learn how your tiny home works and know what you can do to fix it when the time comes, and, more importantly, what issues need a professional before you make matters worse.

Tiny homes are not for everyone and do take a lot more maintenance than you think, but if they are the right fit for you, then you can easily build a beautiful tiny home that you can take with you anywhere.
