When you're living in less than 200 square feet, every inch counts.
But small square footage doesn't have to mean missing out on comforts typical of larger homes, like storage and guest space. You just just have to be a little more creative. "If you don't have a good design with a tiny home, it's not going to be possible," said Ryan Mitchell, who writes The Tiny Life and lives in a 150-square foot home. "They have to be well-designed and customized to the person living in them." Tiny homes, which are often described as 400 square feet or less, have become a popular housing option for people looking to downsize -- whether it's their budgets, belongings or both. Here are some cool space-saving features found in some tiny homes: Storage everywhere, but you can't always see it Tiny homes often have a lofted bedroom and the stairs to the space can serve double duty. Annelise Hagedorn, co-founder of tiny home builder Brevard Tiny House, has built staircases into homes where each step pulls out as a drawer. She's also built stairs that hide a hot water heater. Underfloor storage is also common. "We've done underfloor storage for the entire living space," said Hagedorn, whose company launched in 2014 and has completed three tiny homes and has two more in the works. The storage can be about a foot or deeper and the handles to open the space can be covered with rugs or furniture.
