From less clutter to more freedom to travel, the benefits of small home living are abundant. But for some homeowners, downsizing can prove daunting. Homeowners pondering the move must consider everything from how many pairs of shoes to take with them, to how to design the tiny house to maximise space. Read on to learn more about the benefits of small home living, from affordability to freedom and adventure.
Rise of Small Home Popularity
Tiny home living originally became popular in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Many families were looking to tighten their proverbial belts and saw the best way to do so as cutting their mortgages down significantly, or in some cases even living debt free. Living simply has long captured the imaginations of many, and the reasons why are plentiful. Revoking material possessions to getting closer to nature, portability, or having the freedom to travel instead of paying a mortgage are chief among them. This imagination has been captured by the mainstream media where tiny and small homes have contributed greatly to the programming content. In countries like Japan and New Zealand where space is already limited, tiny homes offer a viable option for purchasers to own their own home with less of the fuss of maintenance that comes along with owning a more traditional house. There are many reasons tiny homes and small houses have become popular in recent years.
Benefits of Small Houses
