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

I’ve never really thought much about the design of my toilet other than avoiding pink or blue. Apparently designers are spending a lot more time in the bathroom these days. There are a lot of choices in toilet and bidet designs, including green/bio products that I’m not quite sure I’m prepared to switch over to yet.

The Suspended Toilet and Bidet from Simas are small enough to make a difference in a tiny house plan, without lacking in modern appeal. I think they are small enough to consider actually having both which has never really been a consideration when putting together a floor plan for a small home.

I’m hungry, so let’s talk kitchens! I’m not the cook in the family, but I definitely have final say on what is included in the kitchen since I clean it, it’s a rule. There are so many cool things I can’t wait to show you, but unfortunately you can’t include all of them in one kitchen, so I think it’s important to start with an overall kitchen design and then fit everything into it. (Or start with one way cool appliance and build your kitchen around that, but I digress.)

This compact kitchen from TM Italia (Warning, site plays pseudo porn music!) keeps the lines clean, has a lot of storage which is important when building a tiny house for a family, and I love that it has a built in breakfast bar, because I’ve been toying with the idea of not having a dining table at all, just a built in. I love the curves, especially the end cabinet, I think it could work even with a doorway right there. The open cubes would be great for displaying beautiful dishes or a glass bottle collection, or cookbooks if that’s your thing.

Much like in a kitchen where the upper cabinets offer storage space without sacrificing counter space, creating a more open feeling, you can suspend cabinets in other areas of the home to create storage without losing floor space.

These suspended cabinets from e15 are gorgeous and functional. This particular combination is made from the Shahnaz with 2 doors and Mahnaz with two drawers. Since each piece is the same size you can combine them in any number of configurations to match your room size and storage needs. The design really draws your eyes underneath, making the room seem larger even though you are introducing something that takes up space. Perfect for a tiny house!

I’ve always loved the heat of a wood stove but they seemed intrusive in a typical home, so when I found this design I was thrilled. The clean lines will fit in almost any interior and more importantly, no floor space is lost because it is suspended on the wall.

The stove works in 3 positions, open fire, glass enclosed fire and traditional stove manner with the metal doors closed. The 30-up Belgian Stove is designed by Stuv.

Having enough storage space is a concern in any home, so moving a family into a tiny house kind of gives me nightmares. Creative design is definitely needed and this staircase is something I’ve had in my mind for awhile and I’m so happy I’ve finally found a photo. The area could easily combine book, CD and DVD storage needs, although I’ve kind of had my heart set on putting a built in desk system under the stairs. Either one is doable and the design is fantastic. The stain could easily be changed to fit your overall decor or change from wood to plastic, glass, even cement. The design possibilities are endless as well as the storage configuration.
