Instagram Accounts Show How To Live In A Small Space
The #TinyHouseMovement has taken over social media and television. Countless accounts are following and the famed adaptation of Hose Hunters, affectionately named Tiny House Hunters which is non on HGTV to binge watch. It seems everyone wants a small space or a micro apartment. But what is the small space or tiny house movement all about? It’s fairly straightforward with the name giving most of the meaning away up front. Let’s review some Instagram accounts to find out how to live large in a small space.
The tiny house movement is a social movement where people choose to downsize. Tiny house dwellers live more simply, in a small, more efficient space. According to The Tiny Life, the typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, juxtaposed by the typical American tiny house, which measures up to only about 100 to 400 square feet. While it’s hard to understand giving up as much as 97% of your living space the rewards are promising. Furthermore, there are environmental and financial reasons, as well as the draw of more time and freedom, people are joining the tiny house movement in droves.
According to CBS Money Watch, most Americans spend about a half of their income on their homes, which has led to nearly 80% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, according to USA Today. While those who buy into the tiny house movement, the statistics look much more promising. By contrast, of those who own a tiny house, 68% have no mortgage at all. Convinced yet?
Tiny living offers renters and buyers a way to ironically live large by saving money on property, square footage, and upkeep of a home and experience more of the world their living in, not the home.
