15 Amazing Tiny Homes That Will Inspire You To Live Big

Tiny homes are really popular nowadays. If you have an Instagram account and you are interested in interior design, architecture or even traveling, they may have popped up on your discover page. Some of the hashtags often accompanying pictures of tiny houses include sustainability, minimalism and (you guessed it) living big.

Living in a tiny home is not just about #smallspaceliving (114K posts), it’s a reflection of a mindset, a lifestyle and a movement known as “the tiny house movement”. There are many reasons to join the movement, but the main concerns are related to the environment, finances and a desire for freedom. Many build tiny homes on wheels, so they can travel in a more convenient way or have the flexibility of moving the house from a temporary to a permanent location.

Some houses are small but have big outside spaces. There are university students, young couples and families living in tiny homes. No homeowner is the same and no tiny home is the same. The beauty of tiny homes and what makes them so fascinating is the fact that they reflect their owners’ needs and personality. That’s also why they are often tagged alongside minimalism and why minimalists are drawn to them. These tiny homes have everything their owners need – no more and no less.

Tiny homes tend to combine the best of creative architecture, interior design and personality.
