Tiny House Designs – Avoid the Amazing Maze in Your Tiny House Plan

Oh, and I want this, and I want that… oh, and this too! Whoa, wait a second… are you trying to fit everything you had in your big house into the floor plan of your small house?
 
Tiny home living is gaining momentum in our economy and with the push for green building. Saving money and saving the earth is in fashion. Small houses can help. But with small houses your way of thinking has to change. It’s a big mistake to try to keep everything you had in the bigger house and just downsize it all.
 
The house that is not for sale
 
There’s a house on the market in our neighborhood that just sits there. No one seems to want to touch it. A walk through almost makes your hair stand on end. It’s all cut off. There is no flow or openness and you never seem to know where you are. It’s like the Winchester Mystery House… a little fascinating but totally uninhabitable. it’s a maze
 
And that’s why it’s not for sale. There is no flow. A well-designed home is friendly, warm, has a certain synergy, and is just, well…deliverable.
 
Tiny house plans should be open and flowing
 
By flowing, I am not talking about a river gorge where water from a sudden downpour is roaring through a narrow channel. Think of a gentle wave on a calm beach lapping up the sand.
 
The smaller the house, the more critical this openness and flow becomes. And it is not achieved by giving up your desires, but by eliminating the separation of your desires in your own identities. Let me explain.
 
Shared Rooms and Combined Functions
 
The objective is to create living areas within the same space or room. The result is fewer rooms with the same living areas that complement the way you live. For example; a bedroom that accommodates a reading area, a computer station, or a meditation retreat…or whatever is important to your lifestyle.
 
That’s just one of many ideas. Flow, in a small house, has more to do with the smooth movement from one side of a room to another and another, from “station to station” than from room to room. All stations are visible, but each has its own style, purpose, and seamless access.
 
Therefore, you can certainly get what you want as long as you live within your ideals and choose to live in a tiny house.
