The tiny house movement became popular around 2018, and since then, it has only gained momentum. The pandemic and long lockdown period made people realize what is necessary for one to be happy.

People in the west are constantly trying to downsize their footprint to lead a more eco-conscious life. Many don’t want to invest in a massive house and pay the mortgage for the next twenty years or so.

Therefore, they opt for a tiny house that takes care of their primary needs. Now, you have seen the beautiful tiny house pictures on Instagram and want to explore more. You are wondering if you can build one tiny house all by yourself and hit the road; well, it is possible.

Continue reading this article to learn more about the step-by-step process of building a tiny house.

The Plan

First, you need to have a plan. Without a layout of your house, you simply cannot move forward. Unlike a regular-sized home, a tiny house plan won’t be that complicated; but it is a house plan nonetheless.

If you feel like design is not your strong suit, you can always consult with a friend or a professional designer to help you out with the layout.

  • At this stage, before designing your tiny house, you must determine whether you want to travel on the road with your tiny house or place it on a property. If you decide to keep the house on a piece of land, you can design a deck or outdoor garden around your home. But if you are trying to build a house that can be moved from place to place, you must make the design more compact without taking much space.
  • While designing, be sure to keep in mind the material you will use as floors and walls. The material is going to determine the overall structure of your tiny house. You can use light and strong wood, or you can also use shipping containers as many do.

Building Process

Once you have a concrete plan on what you want to do, it is time to start building the house. Many do not have the time required to build a house from start to finish, but that doesn’t mean that one should not be allowed to live in their dream tiny house.

You can easily hire contractors to turn your dream into reality. Or it can be a collaborative effort; you can build some part of the house all by yourself and hire people to do the rest.

For example, many trust A&E Brothers Roofing to get their roof done from start to finish. Building a perfect roof is not a child’s play; it is better to trust an expert.

Decoration

Once you have the structure of your house complete, it is time to decorate the same the way you see fit. One must always remember the reason to go tiny; it is to downsize on material possession.

Therefore, do not clutter your house with items that don’t add value to your life. Instead, add plenty of storage space to safely put things behind the cupboard and have a decluttered living space.
