The tiny house movement is a constantly growing trend and we see them more and more, both on the Internet and in our environment.
People choose tiny living for all sorts of reasons. While some find it to be a more affordable and sustainable way of life, others choose to go tiny because of the increased freedom or the simpler, happier life.
If you have thought about building or buying a tiny house to move into full-time or just when traveling, you might have also asked yourself if the tiny lifestyle truly fits you. Are tiny houses really for everyone?
Tiny houses can easily be for everyone, with just a little creativity and maybe some compromises. You will realize that living big in a tiny house is not just possible, but also enjoyable and fulfilling.
Here is why a tiny home might be just what you are looking for:
If you find yourself in a difficult position socially or financially
For those facing social or financial challenges, such as single parents, families with low income or even ex-convicts, tiny houses are a real life-saver. They are less costly to buy or build, the mortgage is cheaper and you can save a lot of money in the long run, while still living a wholesome life on a smaller scale.
If you wish to focus on decluttering your life
Switching to a tiny lifestyle is a great way to declutter your life and liberate yourself from the unnecessary possessions piled up over years of living in a large house. You will need to make a careful selection when moving into a tiny house, to decide what you will take with you and what must go.
Once you are settled, with each purchase and house decorating decision you will have to take into consideration that you now have less storage space and personal space, which means that you will need to be more conscious when buying in order to avoid having useless things in your home and producing lots of waste.
If you want more freedom
A tiny house – especially one on wheels – gives you much more freedom, whether it is about living permanently in a house that can easily be towed and moved around or having a mobile tiny house just for travel.
You will only have to worry about finding a space to park your tiny house and perhaps paying some fees, but it will be a lot less than seeking accommodation and packing your suitcases every time you travel. Just imagine your little family on a tiny house Europe tour – wouldn’t it be amazing?
If you feel like experimenting with a greener lifestyle
Moving into a tiny home can be a great first step towards having a more sustainable and eco-friendlier lifestyle, as you can cut down on utility bills, seek green alternatives for heating, water recycling and electricity, learn some DIY tricks, form some more conscious buying habits and even have a tiny garden to grow your own food.
Whether you seek an affordable way of living, more freedom or a way to downsize in order to live a happier life and focus on the little things that bring you joy, we are convinced that you will find a tiny house that fits you like a glove.
