They can be transportable or just very small, but they are usually made to utilize all of the available space.

Young people or those entering the property market may opt for tiny homes due to their affordability.

It has double glass doors which face a deck and a spiral staircase connects the two floors.

Downstairs is a kitchen, a compact eating area and a living room which fits a sofa.

Upstairs is a bedroom which fits a double bed and bathroom.

The double bed faces the upstairs decking area, offering views if you embrace the cabin theme.

The bathroom and kitchen come fully equipped with a shower, and kitchen cabinets.

Detailed instructions are included to ensure an easy set up.

The tiny home is also very versatile. It stands at 40-feet and can be tailored to suit your needs.
