HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters” has brought to light the growing trend of tiny houses. Although Tiny Houses may seem unconventional to some, others can find their best lifestyle within five-hundred square feet and less. Are you meant to live in a tiny house? Here are six signs that the tiny house lifestyle might be right for you.
1. You’re frugal.
You don’t want to worry about buying a lot of furniture, paying for a lot of land, or high bills to heat your home; tiny houses can solve all of these problems. Within a tiny house, there is less space to heat, less room to furnish, and you can choose to have little land to plant your house on. You could even build your own!
2. You enjoy traveling.
3. You're introverted.
Introverts tend to be people who prefer to be alone more often than with a group of people. With a tiny house, you can’t really fit that many people in there comfortably, meaning you wouldn’t have to deal with as many people often. You can minimize the social world and maximize your me-time.
4. You don’t like to cook.
Because tiny houses are so tiny, kitchens are limited. If you don't like to cook, you won’t even care that the cooktop is a plugin and a mini fridge is all you have for the cold stuff.
5. You’re a minimalist.
You don’t mind wearing the same clothes everyday, surviving off of one pair of black leggings and a pair of blue jeans. You think an abundance is actually a waste, and less is more. For you, shopping is fun, but you may have buyer’s remorse when you start to feel like a hoarder. You’d rather limit yourself by living simply than having everything.
6. You desire less stress.
Being in a tiny house can give people the feeling of freedom. In a tiny house, cleaning, organizing, and living becomes something easy. It’s almost like you’re in your own little world.
With higher taxes and costs for living, it’s no surprise people are choosing tiny houses over typical homes. If you’re willing to cut back the tangibles, in exchange for more intangible experiences, a tiny house might be perfect for you.
