Tiny homes are becoming more mainstream as more Americans consider this alternative living option. Besides reducing your carbon footprint, one of the biggest draws to tiny home living is its affordability. The cost to build a tiny home is a fraction of what the median cost of an average-sized home is today in the U.S., and they can be more energy efficient than traditional homes.

Plus, buying a tiny home can be as easy as one click. You can buy your tiny home online from Amazon, Walmart or Home Depot. 

Once you’ve settled on a tiny home, the next step is figuring out how to furnish it. Traditional bulky furnishings will take up too much space, so stick to space-saving designs. The best tiny home furniture serves more than one function – think convertible designs or furniture you can mount to the wall that will fold away when not in use.
