In the contemporary world (and its economic climate), the concept of extravagant living is becoming less common. The small home movement, a combined architectural and societal initiative, promotes a more straightforward lifestyle in a compact living area. Designs for small homes have gained a surge in popularity, attracting young single individuals, those without kids at home, and smaller families as preferred options. Plans for tiny houses can offer financial savings and provide mobility and independence. Although two-bedroom designs for small homes aren't typical, it's uncomplicated to locate a wide array of designs featuring a loft or an adjustable layout that can facilitate expansion by connecting two small homes.
Having a tiny house allows you to downsize and declutter, and this goes hand in hand with the minimalism movement. We curated a list of tiny house plans that will have you feeling excited and ready to get started on your very own. Whether you're looking for a tiny vacation home plan or you're looking to downsize completely, there's bound to at least be some tiny house plans on our list that will suit your style and taste.
1. Ms. Bohemian Soul Tiny House
Jewel Pearson had always wished to live a lifestyle that would allow her to travel, be free and live "lighter." In 2006, she began the downsizing process and eventually moved into her tiny house. Her tiny house style can be summarized as urban, chic, and contemporary with a lot of soul.
The tiny house floor plan was built on a 28′ x 8’6″ trailer and coming in at about 360 square feet of interior space. The open floor plan and large windows make the space seem larger. The tiny house's main focal point is a majestic round window; however, the full kitchen, high ceilings, nook area, large walk-in closet, and useful built-ins largely contribute to making the home feel comfortable and cozy. There's a garden path, porch, and fire pit that's perfect for outdoor entertaining.
