• Monochromatic schemes for a cohesive look

Furniture Selection

Choose furniture that maximizes space and functionality:

• Multi-functional pieces (e.g., storage ottomans, Murphy beds)
• Scaled-down versions of traditional furniture
• Foldable or collapsible items for flexibility

Storage Solutions

Clever storage is key in tiny home design:

• Built-in shelving and cabinets
• Under-stair storage compartments
• Hanging organizers and wall-mounted solutions

Lighting Design

Proper lighting can make your tiny home feel larger and more inviting:

• Maximize natural light with large windows and skylights
• Use a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting
• Consider space-saving lighting options (e.g., wall sconces, LED strips)

Texture and Materials

Add depth and interest to your tiny home with thoughtful use of textures and materials:

• Mix and match textures to create visual interest
• Use reflective surfaces to bounce light and create the illusion of space
• Choose durable, easy-to-clean materials for high-traffic areas

By applying these interior design principles, you can create a tiny home that feels spacious, stylish, and perfectly suited to your needs. Remember, in a tiny home, every design decision counts!
