These days, folks can’t get enough of the tiny home trend. Homeowners are getting more creative—and living bigger—with less space in smaller quarters. So naturally, their creative ideas to incorporate organized living and also gorgeous design work well for everyone else, too—tiny home or not. Small spaces come in all forms—cute cottages, charming studio apartments, even garden-sheds-turned-craft-rooms. So it’s probably no surprise that Pinterest is slap-full of small space ideas—and some really incredible decorating ideas. We rounded up the best small house inspiration on Pinterest—perfect for saving for...one day. Pin now, do later, right?
Smart Shelves
The open shelving in this airy kitchen keeps cooking necessities at an arm’s length, while streamlining storage for an uncluttered look.
Bright White
A neutral color palette blends this multi-purpose space seamlessly. A well-disguised footboard smartly divides living and sleeping space.
Storage and Seating
This window nook does not sit idly by—soft cushions invite guests to sit down, while the space around the window gets put to work as extra shelving and storage.
Texture, Texture, Texture
All-white walls, shelves, counters, and cabinets keep the tiny kitchen looking clean, while a well-loved rug and brick column team up to bring visual interest and warmth to the room.
Color by Space
Here a deep gray wall visually defines the narrow dining area to set it apart from the rest of the space.
Backyard Wonderland
No need for acres of rolling hills (though we do love that too!). This tiny patio holds its own thanks to lush foliage and playful string lights.
Corner Bar
When it comes to efficient design, no space goes unused. This corner by the stairs is transformed into an official drink station thanks to some open shelving and smart countertop styling.
Keep It Simple
This kitchen transformation relies on the classic moves: plenty of natural light, open shelves, and lots of white. From there, artfully arranged kitchen tools elevate the hard-working space.
Take It to the Top
Clean white tile, installed up to the trim, adds visual interest and texture without cramping the narrow kitchen.
Smart Stripes
A bold rug adds a graphic punch, while visually extending the depth of the otherwise narrow living area. High ceilings with jaw-dropping trim max out the room’s charm.
Mobile Storage
Keep a small bath from getting cluttered by repurposing a small bar cart to store towels and trinkets. Since it's on wheels it can easily move around the room if needed.
Warm Neutrals
All-white doesn’t have to look sterile. By layering on texture through textiles and breaking it up with verdant plants, this room is warm and inviting, cozy even.
Double Duty
In small spaces, some rooms simply have to work overtime. Here, a cozy nook just begs to be curled up in with a good book, while a narrow tabletop provides an extra work surface.
Layer Up
Here a hide rug layered over a classic and durable sisal area rug helps section off the living space from the bed’s area. Plus, an acrylic coffee table prevents the room from looking cramped.
Pattern Play
Just because a space is small doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with pattern—or color. A symmetrical arrangement balances this petite bedroom while a statement wall keeps things interesting.
All in the Architectural Details
Uncluttered walls allow this small bedroom to look open and airy, but the paneling keeps it from looking empty and barren.
Take It Out Back
Hanging planters on a lattice divider punch up the greenery on the charming cottage’s patio, without taking up valuable floor space.
