8 Tiny Houses that Have More Storage Than Your House
The Tiny House Movement
Smaller homes are all the rage. Advocates claim downsizing offers a simpler, more affordable, and more eco-friendly way of life, as the Small House Society—an organization supporting smaller housing alternatives—states on its website.
Ditching a traditional-size house means you must become a master of organization—finding clever ways to keep the items you use every day accessible yet out of the way. What these structures lack in square footage they gain in charm and crafty solutions. See how these 8 tight-on-space dwellings deal with storage and get inspired to abandon clutter in your own abode.
The Tiny Tack House
Chris and Melissa Tack are photographers who left NYC for the lush landscape of Washington State and now live in this home that measures approximately 140 square feet. Eleven windows provide abundant natural light, and a gable roof with dormers in the loft squeezes in storage.
Hang Everything on the Walls
The Tacks take full advantage of walls by using hanging shelves, hooks, and a foldout desk and table. A built-in bench pulls double duty as a trunk and a seat (or day bed).
The Tiny Tack House Kitchen
Every inch of wall space is utilized to keep this mini kitchen in order. Mugs and pans hang high above the stove, shallow shelves create a tidy pantry, and hanging baskets act as extra shelves.
