Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tiny Homes
Before getting you excited with a lovely list of tiny homes for you to choose from, let’s talk about the benefits and drawbacks of these types of homes.
Living in a home that is no more than 500 square feet definitely has its perks. If you live in a city like NewYork, this size may be your only option.
However, other people are simply choosing to live in these tiny homes because of all their perks.
There is much less clutter. With less space, you don’t really have the option of filling it with ‘stuff’, not if you’d like to live comfortably anyway.
Some hard choices need to be made about what you are going to keep or throw/give away, but it’ll all be worth it if it means you’ll have a tidy home.
Due to less clutter, there is less time spent on cleaning.
Tiny homes tend to have a living room, a kitchen (usually open plan) a bathroom and a bedroom (or two depending on the size and usually they are loft-style).
Everything tends to be within 5 feet of each other, which will reduce your cleaning time significantly. No more cancelling Sunday brunch because you need to deep clean your house!
Reduced carbon footprint is a big benefit of choosing this lifestyle.
These homes are known as green homes because they use less energy, consume less resources, and produce less waste, than normal larger homes.
Tiny homes enable you to save money. You won’t spend as much on heating as the space is smaller.
There are less property taxes and house maintenance costs.
Your bills will be less, as you’re using less electricity with heating and cooling, and you won’t be tempted to shop as much since you don’t have the space to fit as much as you did before!
They are cheaper to buy or get a mortgage for. The average cost of a tiny home is $30,000 to $60,000.
This all depends on what amenities you decide to include. Some can cost as little as $8,000 or up to $150,000.
Despite all these lovely positives of living this way, there are a few drawbacks you need to consider before deciding to live ‘tiny’.
Entertaining is no longer easy.
If you’d like to have friends over, you either have to be really selective about who you bring over due to numbers, or just not do it at all.
You could utilize your little porch or outside area if you have one, but you’d struggle in the winter months.
You need to be organized. To avoid your home looking like an over cluttered closet you need to be creative and use every idea possible for organizing small spaces.
You need to decide what stays and what goes. You can’t take all your belongings from a regular house to a tiny home. You must be ruthless with this in deciding what you want to keep.
