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.
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.
That enclosed porch on the Shoreline Glass House is living rent-free in my brain. Warm wood, big windows, winter trees just beyond the glass. Tiny house goals aren’t always about the square footage. Sometimes it’s one good room where outside and inside stop arguing.
