How to Furnish Your Tiny Home 

The biggest sensation sweeping the nation? Tiny homes! One doesn’t have to search very far to see that tiny homes are making a huge splash for many homeowners: they are affordable, environmentally conscious, and if you live in a popular city or town, you can use them to generate revenue as a vacation rental.  

That said, how do you furnish these tiny homes? We think it’s all about striking the right balance between aesthetics and usefulness; thankfully, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s show you how to turn your tiny house into a home.  

Tiny Home Living Room Decor  

The key to decorating a tiny home is to think upwards and outwards. Most tiny homes are designed to save space by being narrower and taller: think bedroom lofts, vaulted ceilings, and skylights for natural lighting. We say it’s best to adapt to what your space calls for. Use the elongated walls for your decor, like hanging plants, floating shelves, and installing a chandelier instead of floor lamps. That way, you’re still incorporating your style without sacrificing precious floor space.  

And speaking of saving floor space, we’ve got just the thing: the Classic Flame CoolGlow 23″ 2-in-1 Electric Fireplace, shown below. 

Feel comfortable in your tiny home year-round thanks to toasty heat that warms up to 1,000 square feet and a cooling, oscillating fan for the warmer months. Plus, the 3D flame effect offers a beautiful, realistic fireplace setting with 5 different brightness levels and flame speed options. 

Another space-saving idea is this duraflame® Electric Fireplace Portable Space Heater, pictured above. We love this portable heater because it fits in the tiniest of tiny homes, including RV’s! Providing supplemental zone heating for up to 400 square feet, this electric fireplace heater showcases realistic, dancing flames that can be used with or without heat, so you’ll feel super comfortable and cozy anytime, anywhere.  

How to Save Space in Your Tiny Home Kitchen 

Having both flexibility and storage with your furniture is key when it comes to tiny homes. That’s why we recommend having a kitchen island cart, like this one shown here. An open countertop sets the stage for a functional workspace while two drawers, open shelves, and a cabinet allow you to store everything from dry ingredients to appliances. Plus, you can use this kitchen island with wheels as an appetizer or cocktail station for your guests in the living room, giving you move around as you cook.
