What makes a house tiny? Well, there's no exact definition. But most people agree that any house that's under 400 square feet can be considered tiny. By comparison, the size of an American home in 2018 was about 2,400 square feet.

Are you WONDERing how a house could be that tiny? It takes some architectural creativity. People who build tiny houses get very inventive about where they put spaces for storage. In a tiny house, you'll find closets and cabinets in places you wouldn't expect. It also helps that most bedrooms in tiny houses are lofts. That leaves plenty of room below for the kitchen, bathroom, and living area.
