For years, it seemed the larger the house, the better. But then, a new trend came along – the tiny house. What started as a small movement in response to the massive home takeover has now become mainstream. These small house plans under 1000 sq. ft. have grown in popularity, and for a good reason. Many people are realizing just how much more life they can live when they aren’t tethered to a huge mortgage. These smaller homes take some adjustments to get used to, but with some time, most people find that they didn’t need a larger home.
