While some of the articles may strike casual readers as a bit extreme, Tiny House Blog features some excellent ideas for efficiently using space in a small home, budget design ideas and tons of articles and links for DIY home repair and construction projects. The advice in an article like "Ten Tips for Decorating a Studio Apartment" may seem obvious to anyone who's lived in one for more than a week, but the blog showcases a wealth of creative, innovative ways in which many individuals are building the space that meets their requirements.
The reasons why people may wish to live in a smaller home are as varied as the types of dwellings and the people who live in them, but one thing many have in common is the desire for quality materials and furnishings over the quantity of square footage. Though the craftsmen-style cottage so often featured is not for everyone, the interiors of these unique homes offer inspiration and decorating ideas for customizing your own home, whether it's in a space of 300 square feet or 3,000, and how you might do it yourself with reclaimed materials. Some of our favorites we've seen over the last couple of years are: this gorgeous circular shower (part of an entry on Malissa Tack's Perfect Retreat), a pictorial on the tiny cottages of faubourg marigny and how to find and use reclaimed materials. You don't have to live in a 120 square feet to appreciate a good use of space, unique features, or unusual dwellings. Tiny House Blog is about the tiny house movement, but it's also about refocusing, and appreciating quality over quantity. While we can take or leave the lofted-beds, that's a lifestyle we love.
