The population growth and rising cost of real estate are not surprising. And while many people (even experts like interior designers and decorators) continue to come up with techniques to create more space for your legs, there are instances when downsizing your living space and adapting to a smaller home is the best option.
We recognise that different people’s definitions of “small living” will vary, but in general, it refers to a living arrangement that provides only a necessary amount of legroom rather than tonnes and tonnes of available space.
Yet be upbeat because all is not lost! There are undoubtedly a lot of advantages to residing in a smaller home.
A smaller home typically costs less depending on several factors (such as location). And by spending less, we do not only mean on your mortgage payment; we also mean on your heating and cooling expenses, the cost of repairs and maintenance, etc.
One is more likely to purchase more “things” to fill a large house with roomy spaces. There will be more furniture and accessories, as well as additional walls and floors, to dust, mop, wipe down, etc. Also, how enjoyable is it to lug a vacuum cleaner up and down stairs?
Because you can plainly see the space you have available, a tiny home can greatly improve your ability to organise your life. This implies that you can express your creative side and even choose more original approaches to spice it up.
