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.

A tiny house is one thing, a tiny bathroom is another beast all together. I have to admit this will probably be the biggest challenge for us designing a tiny house. I love having double sinks, drawers for makeup and my soaking tub. So anything that saves space in a bathroom is on my list of must haves, and this sink in a drawer is amazing. It would be perfect for a bathroom that is located next to a stair case or behind a pantry where you may have unused dead space in a wall.

I can imagine designing an entire bathroom based around this sink, with drawers in a similar style for products, towels, toilet paper, etc all nicely tucked away in the wall.

No word on price or availability yet, but I imagine a good plumber and carpenter could create a similar sink from pretty much any design currently on the market.

We haven’t decided what type of heating system to install in our tiny house, it will depend on where we buy land and of course the style of the home. Having grown up in older homes with steam radiators I have always loved the warmth they provide and most of the time even loved the designs. They seemed to be part of the home rather than something that was designed as a last thought. Unfortunately radiators tend to be rather large and in a tiny house, space is precious.

So when I saw this design for a radiator, my jaw dropped, it’s a piece of art AND tiny. Fabulous.

Calorisfero gives the space a new meaning, by furnishing it with a warm personality. Steel and wood hug each other in an eternal sphere, melting matter and soul endlessly. A new way of thinking about domestic warm: simply at man’s service and his emotions.

This radiator was designed by Studio MID for Deltacalor, I’m not sure it will be available in the US, but I think I’d be willing to fly to Italy to get it. This is truly a piece that you could design your home around.
