You can find small house plans, or great small appliances for your small home here!

Corral Lighted Dining Room TableFunctional, ergonomic, small, and colorful, you can’t ask for much more from the Corral dining table and Bronco chairs by UnicaHome when designing a modern small home. I’m not one for gimmicks usually, but I love the soft light of this table and can imagine changing the colors for the season, or when guests are invited for special occasions. Not having to commit to one color is a positive as I’m not sure I would choose a primary colored dining room table as the focus when decorating a small home if I would be stuck with it forever.

The design of the seats really stands out. Based on a horse saddle, the seats provide ergonomic support for your back while also giving you a place to keep your drink (which I’m not sure if that’s handy or a really bad idea since my drink of choice is wine). There is also a light available to match the table which is basically an upside down version of the table, making very interesting lines in your interior design. The light has color filters available to complement the table or create contrasting interest.

Moooi CouchOnce in awhile, no, once in a lifetime you meet a couch that completes you. For me, the Moooi is it. There is no competition, it was love at first sight. Our main house is decorated in what I call a modern French Country design, with the predominant colors being black and white with bright accents in different rooms. The downstairs is mostly red accents, the boys room has green accents, middle son has blue accents and our daughter has pink accents of course.

Finding a black or white couch is difficult unless you want leather, a fabric that shows every fuzz, or want to replace it every year due to having four kids. Until now. The Moooi is available in 15 different fabrics and 5 different legs that can give the couch a modern, futuristic, or elegant look. This is truly a couch that can set your small or tiny house apart.
