You may have seen people on social media go viral for their efficient tiny houses that pack living areas, a kitchen, and sometimes more into a very small amount of square feet. Well, these are real, and they actually can provide more than what the space would seemingly allow.
A typical tiny house usually ranges from:
- 100 to 400 square feet if it’s a tiny house on wheels.
- Up to 600 square feet if it’s a permanent foundation tiny home.
Some zoning codes and regulations define anything under 1,000 square feet as a “tiny house,” but most enthusiasts and builders keep them under 500 square feet to embrace minimalist living and comply with legal limits for mobile dwellings.
With tiny house floor plans, creativity is your best friend because the space really is limited. You need to consider what can be optimized from a spatial standpoint, and we are here to help you with these ideas!
Here are five ideas for tiny house floor plans:
- Lofted Sleeping Areas
You need to make use of the vertical space in a tiny house, so raising your sleeping area off the ground allows you to build underneath it with an office or extra storage.
- Fold-Away Everything
The walls of your tiny home will house much of your furniture when you aren’t using it. So, having fold-down desks, Murphy beds, and collapsible dining tables is a great way to allow one room to serve multiple functions.
- Vertical Storage Everywhere
When you don’t have the floor space, use the ceiling space (literally). Tiny house floor plans successfully incorporate floor to ceiling storage and even storage on the ceiling to maximize the limited space.
- Smart Kitchen
A space-efficient galley style kitchen, L-shaped kitchen, or kitchenette can provide all the essentials while complementing the look and feel of the space.
- Outdoor Living Extensions
You can significantly expand your livable space with an outdoor area connected to your home such as a patio that is accessible through sliding doors.
