Downsizing and minimalism seem to be the theme of the future. The tiny house movement is larger than ever and it is amazing to see how many people of all ages and family structures are ready to kick their big house to the curb and move into a tiny home. Downsizing to a smaller house doesn’t mean you have to abandon the much-needed comforts! A tiny house provides you with a cozy space that needs to be styled with a purpose.
When everything within your small home has its designated place, the comfort will be widely felt. Not to mention, a lot of tiny houses are mobile, meaning you can take them with you almost anywhere you go. If you, too, are hooked on tiny homes, here are 20 tiny houses to draw inspiration from as you admire both their interior and exterior!
Tiny but Modern
If your first thought when hearing tiny house is a farmhouse, think again! You can absolutely achieve a clean, open, and modern look within a small house. It’s all about the styling and the chosen materials that emphasize the minimalism and the open space. Look at the ideas below to figure out how you can make your tiny house fit your modern style!
Big windows are a must! If you want your home to feel open and welcoming, having windows that stretch over the entire width of the house is a necessity. Keeping the interior minimalistic and in the shades of white and black will give the open house a modern style! See more photos of this lovely place at Arch Daily.
A modern-built house by the lake is the perfect getaway place. The clean look of the house, created by the simple shapes and an abundance of glass windows, is what keeps it fresh and interesting! Check it out at Contemporist.

Alright, we’ll admit that a cozy farmhouse is indeed our first association when thinking of tiny homes, but for a good reason! These country-styled little nooks prove that your tiny house can feel incredibly comfortable and safe, making you feel all the rural vibes – even if you’re not actually situated in the countryside!

Tiny and Spacious
A very common misconception is that tiny homes tend to feel crammed, but that doesn’t have to be the case! Choosing the interior with precision and giving every element within the home a purpose is what will make your tiny house spacious but functional!
Gentle gray shades always do wonders for the openness of the space. The insides of this home feel super minimal and the total opposite of cluttered! We love the serene energy this place gives off! Pictures courtesy of Tiny Living.

Nothing about this home appears tiny and yet again, you are presented with the magic of a big ceiling! If you look closely, you can see that this home has a living room, kitchen, and dining room, all within a few steps of each other, and still, the space looks roomy. We call this a work of art and we found it at HGTV!
But even if the ceiling of your tiny home is lower, you can still make the place feel spacious as long as you utilize those windows! The more light that will come into your living space, the more open it will feel. See it at Small House Bliss.
If simply letting the light in is not enough for you and you’re ready to go the extra mile to open up your tiny home, why not literally open it up? This tiny house has automatic doors that slide up and offer you an entrance into nature! Pictures from New Frontier Design.
Wooden Perfection Within A Tiny House
A tiny house with an all-wood interior is very common, likely because of its incredible sense of coziness, homeliness, and security. The wood offers you endless possibilities and it is solely up to your personal taste which type of wood you will choose to use for your convenient tiny house!
This is a lovely example of mixing together a rustic interior with a modern lifestyle. As you can see, this home has a pretty neat tech collection (it even has built-in speakers!) but, at the same time, retains an old-fashioned spirit! Pictures by Tiny House Town.
