Hi!

What small space designers or ideas are your favorites?

What have you experienced with small space design that you like or not so much?

Links and Pics welcome!

We're looking at building a home, it won't be a tiny home yet we want to use many tiny home ideas. It will be a 900-1,000 sq ft Dome home, emphasizing an open floor plan with very small "master bedroom" and large, yoga/dance/exercise/creative space and lots of light for some indoor food production.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing your posts...

We have built several tiny homes. The one I live in now, I have the regular size cooking stove and refrigerator.

In the past, we have used RV appliances to save on space.

Each home we built, I used a layout of the available sq. ft to design what was livable.

Your ideas of what you want are so different from what we did that I am at a loss to explain more.

Maybe you have some specific questions?

My favorite thing is alternatives to sleeping lofts.
The simplest is an inverted loft,  where you sleep in a first floor room with just enough room to sit up in,  and your living room/ kitchen whatever is located on a platform above your head.

If I did want a "loft",  the net/hammock loft has a lot to recommend it from an easy access  storage point if veiw.
Simply using hammocks could add lots of flexibility to a space.

An elevator bed that raises out if the way, either automatically or manually, frees up space.
Such a bed could have multiple layers of platforms holding thing's such as a second bunk or a table.


A non-bed related thing I like is the storage stairs that are filled with drawers and cabinets.
