— but they're bigger than they look if you get savvy with the space.
They found the trick to living in a small space is to make it perfect for what you actually do on a daily basis. "Try to create your space exactly around your life," they said."Focusing on clever convertible furniture sounds good on paper but it's very difficult in real life," they said. However, they recommend building in an extra vent fan in a closed off loft to circulate the cool air from your HVAC.
Their leaflet dining room table, which collapses to leave more room when not in use, also "makes a huge difference," they said.So does the custom cat litter compartment they designed for their cat. They keep it tucked behind a door under their staircase over the tankless water heater.It includes a swing door for their cat and a built-in scratch pad. The location helps hide any scent, they said.
They also found that the small size of their bathroom soaks up more moisture. A vent leading directly outside for the exhaust fan makes it easier for moisture to get in.They ended up solving the problem by getting a dehumidifier, which removes moisture from the air and reduces the sulfur smell from the water,Like the Fishbeyns, they utilize their outdoor space for things that may be limited by their small indoor space.
In the kitchen, they designed custom cabinets with unique storage features to help make the most of space.When they built their tiny house, they originally went with semi-custom cabinets, but after years of use found they "had so much wasted space" in their 85-square-foot kitchen. They also do their laundry in the bathroom. Instead of having a "big, bulky, and white monolith of an appliance," they chose a ventless washer-dryer combo.They said they chose this type of washer-dryer as a compromise between energy use and aesthetics, but sometimes feel forgoing the more common stackable washer-dryer units was a sacrifice.
I think they should focus more on affording bigger spaces 🤔
Tiny homes, what a cruel joke. GREED at it's best.
