Furniture that does double duty is always a plus in a small house. Luckily for you this little table can actually serve several functions in your living space. The wood cube acts as a side table with storage, and with the added carrying handle cutouts on the sides it can easily be moved to function as extra seating for guests. Pair it up with another cube for a functioning coffee table, or even as table seating. The tapered design gives it some architectural interest as well!

Tapered Cube – Walnut

One of the old rules about small spaces is not using bold or large patterns. Much like not wearing white after Labor day, this rule is mularky! You CAN rock white after Labor day, and a bold pattern on a striking piece of furniture or even a focal point wall can do wonders for a small space. This love seat has wonderful lines with an open feel because of the lack of arms. It’s great for a tiny house to avoid that boxy feeling that a traditional couch can give. The smoke color can be updated with pillows, or accented by a wall in a bright color to change things up and update throughout the seasons at little expense.

I’m a cuddler and voracious reader, so finding the perfect sofa that is comfortable, stylish, small, and yet functional for a small house is important. The Fat Sofa by Patricia Urquiola reminds me of a chair and a half but without looking too slumpy as some do.

The Fat Sofa can be covered in leather, fabric or a combination so it can fit any decor. I love the soft lines that are still structured, and the modern back is a nice touch.

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.

I love a little humor in design, so the name of this sofa sleeper caught my eye right after the design did.

One Night Stand, by Blu Dot, available at Design Public is a modern take on the traditional sleeper sofa that would work in any tiny house or even a studio as the one and only bed/couch combo. You simply move the back cushions and fold out the sleeper. Unlike most sleeper sofas it’s not bulky at all. The clean modern lines and fabric will work for a family or active single person/couple.
