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?
