47 square metres - was the amount of living space available to the average German in 2019. Although we historically have more living space than ever before, accommodation is becoming increasingly scarce, especially in cities. Added to this are expensive rents, heavy traffic, lots of people and a lot of noise. Good reasons to look for alternatives and buy a tiny house.
"Why tie yourself down to a small, overpriced rented flat when you can own your own four walls for little money?" This idea is at the centre of the Tiny House movement, which focuses on alternative housing and is inspiring more and more people around the world.
Minimalist and flexible living in a tiny house
Interest in this type of home is also growing on the German market, and not just because of the relatively low price of the houses, which are available for as little as 60,000 euros.
The "tiny house", as its name suggests, often only has a maximum floor area of 25 square metres. And they have a very special appeal: they are flexible, customisable and mobile. If the owners move house, the tiny micro-house simply moves with them.
For many tiny house enthusiasts, this reduced living space is part of an entire lifestyle in which conscious consumption, waste avoidance and sustainability are central themes and usually play a major role in the planning of a small house.
Creative and space-saving solutions sought
Living in the smallest of spaces - the greatest possible flexibility is also required when it comes to furnishings. It is not without reason that many furniture manufacturers have been focussing on versatile products for a few years now, which can be integrated into the customer's living situation in a variety of ways according to their needs. Clever storage options, for example in the form of drawers as part of a staircase step, or multifunctional pieces of furniture that can change their function with a few quick movements are real space savers that also give tiny houses perfect functionality.
