The Rise of Tiny Houses

​Australia has some of the biggest homes on the planet, but more and more people are turning their backs on massive properties in favour of tiny houses. Mini homes are becoming more popular around Australia and the rest of the world, but what exactly are these small dwellings and what makes them so popular?

​All About Tiny Houses

​Typically, tiny homes measure up at 37 square metres or smaller. They aim to offer all the comforts and features of a larger home, but without taking up so much space or costing too much cash. They’re often customisable and modular, allowing the owner to pick and choose the features they want and use the tiny home as they please. 

​The Movement

The concept of the granny flat or tiny home has been around for years, but the movement really picked up speed in the US. There, you can actually buy flat-pack houses on sites like Amazon and have them delivered to your door. You can do the same for tiny homes in Australia too. With house prices going up and many people adopting more minimalistic lifestyles, it's easy to see why the movement has become so popular.

​The Benefits of Small Houses

Little houses offer a whole host of benefits, including the following:

• Cost - You can find tiny homes for as low as $14,900 in Australia today. It’s way more cost effective to live in a tiny home. Not only are you paying less for the home itself, but you’ll also save on energy bills.
• Eco-Friendly - With the climate crisis getting worse every day, people are making efforts to be more eco-friendly. Investing in tiny eco homes is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
• Flexible - You don't necessarily need to live in your tiny home full-time. Many people use these homes as studios, playrooms, man caves, pool houses, and more.
• Customizable - Many little houses from leading Australian brands like Tinyblox are fully customizable. This gives you control in deciding the colour, materials, size, and features of your home.
• Downsizing - Many people appreciate the minimalistic lifestyle offered by tiny homes. They let you get rid of all your clutter, rid yourself of unnecessary possessions, and live life to the fullest, spending more time outdoors with your nearest and dearest each day.
