The Nugget
One hundred square feet isn’t a lot, but Modern Tiny Living manages to make every inch count in this livable—and stylish—home that has all the home essentials: full bathroom, kitchenette, and comfy bed. On top of the necessities, the exterior and interior embrace minimalism design with an all-over coat of white paint that lends an airiness to the small space.
Teal on Wheels
Bold color can easily overwhelm a room, making a tiny space feel even tinier. This design from Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, however, proves you don’t need to stick to a neutral color palette when living small. The designers looked to the home exterior for color inspiration, bringing in blue kitchen cabinets for a burst of personality next to the natural pine wood walls.
Rustic Lodge
Undeniably smart in dark-stained wood and black accents, this tiny house by Elliot Bay Design Build LLC gives rustic living a stylish update. The contemporary cabin even sports a small bar and flat-screen TV for lodgers who don’t want to compromise on modern convenience.

Sneaky Storage
Many people would never adopt a tiny lifestyle for fear they’d either have to downsize or move most of their stuff into storage. Wishbone Construction’s design addresses these concerns by hiding smart storage in every nook and cranny, meaning residents may live with more of their possessions than they probably imagined.
Bright and Open
Tiny living doesn’t have to feel cramped. Take a look at this bright and airy space from New Frontier Tiny Homes. The window-covered walls let in light and hide special features, including a drop-down deck and awning that add livable square footage.
Simple and Sustainable
Professional designer Vina Lustado’s small digs reflect her philosophy of living simply and sustainably. The 140-square-foot home works off the grid but still makes room for little luxuries like a gas fireplace and skylights.

Beach Shack
When you’d rather be at the beach, who cares about the square footage of your vacation rental anyway? This beach cottage on wheels has more than enough space and amenities to keep you entertained after a day by the water. Turquoise and white accents add to the beachy vibe and the distressed wood floors disguise any sand that gets tracked in.
Beautiful Bamboo
From the outside, this home resembles many other modern minimalist tiny homes, but a step inside provides an entirely different perspective. The Asian-inspired decor inspires serenity, which jibes with the tiny home movement’s mantra of simplicity.
Quaint Contemporary
This tiny house represents just the right mix of cozy and contemporary, resulting in an inviting and relaxing environment. The sharp lines exude modernity, but playful string lights and colorful accents bring light and life to the space.

Secluded Cottage
Covered in ivy and hidden amongst a garden, this quintessential cottage looks straight out of a storybook. On the inside, red brick floors and pale blue walls pair well with shabby chic furnishings.

Cozy Cottage
The high ceilings and sharp angles of this A-frame house make it a study in contrasts. A couch wedged into the corner feels secure and cozy, while ample windows in the front of the house let sunlight stream in.
Whimsical Dwelling

Tiny Tower
With its dark-shingled sides, this converted water tower would almost disappear among its wooded surroundings—if it weren’t for the bright red door. The house boasts all the basics inside, but it’s the outdoor patio seating and unparalleled views that make this tiny tower a favorite.

Your mother was right when she told you that “you’re lucky to have a roof over your head”—and not just to keep the rain out! A lovely or striking roof design can be a home’s crowning glory, and with the wealth of rooflines to choose from, it can be tough to pick the right “crown.” American architecture abounds in both classic and contemporary roof styles, informed variously by Old World European elements, early Colonial structures, and modern trends. The roofline of your home can remain flush with the walls or extend from one to four feet out; it can be austere or ornate, embellished with ornamental moldings, turrets, dormers, or cornices. And these are just a few of the possibilities. We’re just getting started here… are you feeling a little roof envy?
