25+ Impressive Tiny Houses That Maximize Function and Style

Cabin In The Woods

Tiny houses are popping up all around the country as more people decide to downsize their lives. While the structures often measure down to 300 square feet, the tiny house movement isn't necessarily about the sacrifice. With thoughtful, innovative designs, homeowners have discovered a small house can often lead to a simpler yet fuller life, connecting them with family, friends, and nature while freeing them from mortgages and keeping up with the Joneses.

This 550-square-foot Maine cottage has solar panels on the southeast-facing porch to collect energy (auxiliary batteries can store at least a week's worth) to power the refrigerator and heat shower water. A wood stove, anchored by a hearth made of local beach stones, radiates enough warmth for the entire building.

Bestie Row

Four couples in Texas created "Bestie Row," a mini-neighborhood where they could all live in houses lined right up next to each other.

Each tiny house boasts a bedroom, living room, and bathroom, and was constructed with a minimalist motif—think concrete floors, grained plywood, and a metal exterior.
