Home Decor
Living in a 480 square foot tiny house, I need to be careful with clutter — too much and the whole place looks crowded, messy, and distracting. I want to live comfortably, with decor that feels nice and peaceful.
“When you have too many small items, the eye doesn’t know where to land. Instead of seeing a beautiful collection, you just see a mess.” — Maria Killam via The Spruce
Small items can be fun. Clutter is not. The trick is grouping pieces with a common thread and giving the eye somewhere to land.
Mexico's modernist architects rewrote the rules with color, texture, and a deep connection to the land. BBC Culture has a great roundup. The homes are stunning.
This one is my favorite. I love this space!
A backyard reading shed: separate from the house, just you and your books. Living in a tiny house, I feel like this would technically count as a second bedroom. Tempting! Not a bad idea.
TIL glamping is a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping.” And tiny homes are leading the charge.
“Glamping continues to be a thing, and tiny homes are a big part of this incredible world-wide phenomenon, that often brings together eco-tourism, sustainability, and family values.”
This riverside spot outside Pemberton, Western Australia ranked 5th most stylish Airbnb in Australia. That corner window seat with a book? That’s the dream. I’m chasing it — adding a sun room with full windows behind my house.
The view won’t be quite like this, but at least I’ll be relaxing with a book.
This wooden house is gorgeous. I don’t mind moving in that house!!! It’s 800 square feet, nearly twice the size of my place.

I love browsing house doors; I used to photograph them in DC. This door with a central knob and stunning color inspires me. I plan to paint my door yellow but struggle to choose the right shade. Link
That star chandelier against the wood ceiling. The way the light filters through bamboo shades onto a sage floor. I could disappear into that room with a book and not come back for hours.
If I ever redid my tiny house, I’d steal this window layout. Different sizes, all that light flooding in — no overhead fixture competes. Shiplap on walls and ceiling? Brilliant. And navy cabinets? My favorite color.
Thinking a second tiny house — one room, big window, office space. Or maybe just a small sunroom off my bedroom. Nothing fancy. Just exploring what’s possible. Link
If I ever have a spacious home, this is the vibe I’m going for. A copper tub and wood-burning stove are pure magic! Imagine soaking here while looking out at the woods—it’s the ultimate rustic dream. This level of cozy tranquility is needed.
