I hope you enjoy this episode! It's so great to look back over some of our last videos and all the super clever uses of space. This week, after a strict lockdown, New Zealand has just moved to level 1, which means our country is (for now at least) totally Covid free. This is super exciting and means that we will be able to start filming new video tours locally. So, brand new tiny house tours coming soon! Love, Bryce & Rasa
I have been hoping for a long time that you would produce some videos with collections of storage ideas, ideas for fitting beds in tiny houses, ideas for add on outside living space, collections of various heating and cooling solutions, etc.. Great job! Please keep more of these coming. With embedded links to the original video as you are show each segment, please?
Thanks soooo much Bryce, I'm so glad you did this compilation, I've been making a special folder for all "good storage ideas" , but I'd have to watch most of each video, so this is a time saver ! Love you guys, thanks for all your great work, & congratulations New Zealand Covid-19 free 😀 Yeah ❣️
Loving this idea--a highlights reel for whatever specific topic! Totally beats having to plow through your enormous library of video trying to find that *1* bit of inspiration...not that I don't enjoy going through them all, but it is WAY too easy to get distracted and completely forget what I was originally looking for! And a genius way of crafting "new" material when getting new footage is hampered by health restrictions. Bravo!
@@livingbig You and your bride do such fantastic work. You videos are a highlight whenever they appear in my inbox. I usually don't watch immediately but wait until I have time to savor them as they deserve. Cheers!
So much this. I don't think I'd ever go tiny myself because of my lifestyle and pack-rat-ishness, but I LOVE the design philosophy behind tiny living. No wasted space, everything in its place, and give everything utility. I hope to use some of these fascinating solutions if I'm ever fortunate enough to design my own house.
I watched this video specifically for ideas for my normal (if slightly small) sized house. The only issue here is that every choice they make is a compromise and many of them just arnt practical or what someone not living in a 300 sqft space would consider a reasonable compromise. Making simple tasks you do every day more of a hassle so that it takes up a little less room. In a tiny home it is a requirement, but if you didnt /need/ to roll a wardrobe out of your shower every day, unlatch and hook up a ladder to get to your bedroom or crawl through a hole to get clothes would you choose to do it anyway? most people dont have full sized houses so that they can cram every inch with even more stuff, but because having a bed at normal height with a dresser or closet is more convenient than needing a stepladder to get into bed so you can put the dresser under it or lifting the bed up everyday.
Because of this channel, I was convinced to buy a piece of land and build my tiny house. I bought the land already and now I'm moving forward for my tiny house design. I'm excited about the future!
make a little bit bigger house, guess it will cost you the same as making all these double floors and other clever storage where you have to have everything hidden. some storage shown here is genial but one has to take it out every time... not for lazy people lol
I thought I had seen all their videos until I watched this. Great job gathering so many different types of storage into one interesting video. Now need to find the ones I somehow missed.
I would enjoy revisiting folks from way back, a few years ago, to see how they're doing. Many of them were tradesmen, builders, living truly tiny and remote. It'd be nice to see how they've evolved.
You’ve just made my pre-tiny design research SO much easier. I think I already saved most of those clips, but I’m not nearly video-savvy enough to create a “mix list” (if that’s even the term) video like yours. Thx so much. This video will be a whole lot easier to present to my husband during my “let’s go tiny” presentation.
Only discovered you recently, you actually saved my sanity! I’m a very soon to be a 66 yr old lady from the north of England, and I’ve binge watched everything you’ve both done. Been married for 49 yrs in September, and we live in a tiny flat ( apartment)! We’ve discovered great ideas for storage etc. Love theses tiny houses. Lucky you, Covid free, I feel I’ll never be free again!! Thank you. Hi from the UK.
I feel like storage is the most crucial and difficult part of any tiny home. This is going on my “saved” videos cause I’m sure I will be using these ideas in the future. Very clever and useful video!!
It was great to see that you both were able to bridge the gap until you can film again this well, having a stable source of a nice video each week is worth a lot in unstable times.
You could do another compilation of ideas for tiny houses that are built to travel. It could include storage ideas, packing ideas, and design ideas especially. I know I would love to see that.
I literally did a happy dance of joy when I saw the notification for your new video. Some of these storage solutions are so inspiring, I will have to watch this video multiple times.
I honestly think that mobil homes gives more space and its affordable .Just living and moving around such a small place not only is hard ti keep neat but like anything else .Gets old .(human nature) its hard to keep everything neat .But nice video.
@@liawatson5789 the rich to show how sophisticated they are. Poor people would not call it tiny house and brag about it. They would call it trailer and complain about it
@@liawatson5789 What a judgy and snooty question. That's like asking why anyone but someone already stuffed full of food would choose not to binge an entire cake 🙄 Most people won't choose to be wasteful and unhealthy just because they can. Maybe not everyone wants to deal with a ton of wasteful space and random junk. Owning stuff weighs on one's mind, the less stuff I own and the less space I use the more relaxed and focused I feel. TONS of people with good money choose to switch to tiny living, like do you even watch this channel? Get a clue
The rolling wardrobe over the shower unit was my happiest moment ever when watching this channel! I couldn't care less about kitchens, I always want to see where the clothes are stored!
Thanks to your fantastic channel, which I only discovered in the last 6 weeks, I am designing our future small home 🌳🌳🏡🌳. Not a mobile one, but an eco-friendly, hopefully off-grid, minimal footprint one. Taking notes of what works for others, what to adopt/adapt, must-have features, multifunctionality etc., I find this sooo inspirational and my Pinterest boards for various aspects of this dream build are evolving nicely. This is clearly your passion and it shines through 🌟 Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, your authenticity, enthusiasm and filming style are a delight to watch 🔮💜 (And please get Jacinda to consider adopting that place to the west of NZ, to add to your North and South Islands, as the "Big" Island 🙏) 🌏
I love your whole series, and admire all the storage options compiled. As a 64-year-old, I have to squirm when I see gigantic stair treads, as when we age, climbing up something so steep becomes less possible, despite the massive storage drawers or laundry machines incorporated. I would love to see Tiny Houses address the needs of the aging population more, as I'm still not throwing in the towel for new adventures.
More compilation videos please! With so many different ideas all in one place, there's practical ideas for everyone no matter what the physical logistics of their tiny home. It's also a great starting point for people that are in the planning stages or partway through their builds.
That was amazing. I was surprised I didn't see Miss Dolly in this video....she had tons of space, a walk in closet. The show really shows the creativity in creating space for everything you need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree! 3 Major reasons IMO: 1.) These are unique and very personal homes, that feel like "homes" rather than rented cinderblocks, without also being beyond most "starter home" prices, so it's like an attainable dream. 2.) Bryce and Rasa are such positive & generous hosts that make all the tiny home owners also look like happy, content people. 2.) The very relaxed yet cheerful intro and outtro music :D
Next: top kitchen ideas for tiny house Next: top couch ideas for tiny house I really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to another highlight of tiny house.
This is such fantastic and creative inspiration! Perhaps there are other past videos with categorical ideas you could pull from while you await opportunities to travel again such as tiny house bathrooms, kitchens, decks/porches, downstairs bedroom designs, discussions from your home owners on where to find places to park a tiny home, ideas for planning the type of home to suit ones needs and how to process this selection (you’ve shown such amazing variety of build types!), considerations when planning a build and what home features to include and what to base this on... oh so much good info in all the past years of videos that’s easy to forget! Keep reminding us of all the good stuff that lurks in the archives! Even long time followers can view the videos in new ways as you hone in on various aspects of tiny living! Bryce, you are a gifted interviewer and the new historical themed video was fabulous! So happy to see this video today! Thank you both for your wonderful channel!!
I really love the compilation style. Would be wonderful to see a compilation of people's experiences living in tiny houses through the winter, esp. if they deal with snow and being cooped up for many months of the year.
Ah more fuel for my conference call doodles! I've recently challenged myself to do a 2m x 3m space and I'm having a lot of fun playing with the raised bed thing! This channel has inspired a lot of DIY changes in our flat too - we've gone from like 0 storage to a ridiculous amount over the past year and I'm having so much fun with it!
Thank you for showcasing these, Bryce! I don't live in a tiny house, but my house is too small for my family. This has become especially apparent now that I work at home, but I am a cook in a house with a kitchen that the builder made for retirees who don't cook much. As a result, a lot of my cooking items are in my garage. The pull out pantry in Leah's house inspires me, because our pantry is too small for 4 people (including my special diet that is different from the rest of the family). I can incorporate her roll out unit in mine and maximize the space. Thank you!
Bryce, as you often say "this is clever" and this week's video is exactly that sooo clever. Love the problem solving storage solutions presented here. Thks
TY Bryce for this "best of...show." PLEASE make it a series as I love all the unique ideas for planning and remembering these great homeowners. Would love a "best of" bathrooms, bedrooms and exteriors.
I really like this compilation style video, given that you've visited so many houses now that sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the cool ideas we've seen.
I always watch your videos to the very end. Although i live in a fairly big house and will probably move to a bigger house, my heart is in these tiny houses. Watching these videos make me feel so happy, as if I had a tiny house of my own in the woods with large open windows and a breathtaking vies from my deck and from the window by my bed. Thank you for getting all these wonderful tiny house owners to share their homes and their hearts.
I thought I'd watched all your tours, but there were a couple of homes in this I'd never seen before. ::bounce bounce ... new episodes to watch:: One of my favorite aspects of tiny houses is the unique and clever storage ideas to be found, so this was a treat. You're so right about human creativity; it's boundless. Trust you and Rasa are safe and well.
This is one of my favorite episodes, because whether you live in a Tiny House or not-- the brilliant ideas for using space creatively and efficiently make life better for residents, including children and pets. Thanks so much for sharing this special presentation!
2:45 This is my favourite so far. When they turned the boxes in chairs was mind blowing. Many times tiny houses are cool but not guests-friendly. This is the cleverest use of space I've seen.
I’m watching more than ever, I hope to start building my Tiny House this time next year. I will be moving out of my home of 42 years. I am a widow now and my dog and I have been watching you for over two years. Love your tubes.
We are a family of 7 living in a 900 sq.ft. tiny house on a foundation. We are constantly looking for new ideas to best utilize space in order to give every family member the ability to own their own items. This “best of” compilation is appreciated! We always enjoy your show. My 9 year old is already committed to designing her own tiny house so when she graduates from college she can “owe no one money” and work on the road.
Great job Bryce & Rasa, I think all of the home owners should get Gold Stars. There was not a bad idea in all of them. I think the ones with the raised floors to create under floor is a clever idea. Plus the beds that raised is exceptional for a senior that may not be able to climb stairs very well. It also means the bed does not have to be made every morning. lol. The hidden shower was an exceptional idea. But all in all anyone would be hard pressed to find fault with any of them. Great job reporting. Be safe.
Loved this video - not just as a reminder of all the storage options, but being reminded that this isn't just a "fad" but that there is serious commitment all around the world.
Can you make a video like this one about bringing the outdoors in, or, connection to the outdoors, something along those lines. I would love to see that.
I would love some more questions on the type of insulation people used and how happy they were with results. Having spent time in metal caravans the open ventilation can't be be fun all year round in some climates.
I totally concur! One of the ones here I recall seeing before that stuck in my head as def wanting in future design, is the one that has the large horizontal window in kitchen, where window opens to outside deck with bar stools. There's also a couple of other designs I have seen previously that ties in the living areas with the outside deck. Both of those aspects will drive my future design
classic ambo yes insulation would be great! As I’m about to refit a schoolie and am atm just winging it as to what to insulate with as any vids I’ve seen it mentioned were more about protecting from cold than heat (I’m in australia)
Wow wow wow. Super cool. All these beautiful tiny houses were amazing. The storages really wonderful. The owners are full of loving hearts. Thank you for the video. May God bless and protect you.
A lot of these have been my all time favourite that you've done Bryce and Rasa. I see you've put some wood and faux fur elements in your home. It's such a sweet space for you to grow together. Much love ♥️
Amazing Bryce and Rasa. There are so many clever uses for storage and these awesome people have just used their tiny spaces to the fullest. I really enjoyed looking back at all of these tiny homes and how clever they are. How exciting for you and Rasa and New Zealand moving to level 1, and being Covid free, for now. I live in Idaho and we are about to enter into stage 4 of the lockdown, but only if the governor deems it safe enough. I am so excited that you will be able to start filming some new tiny home tours locally. Thank you so much Bryce and Rasa, see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
This is one of my favourite tiny house videos as I mostly adore them for their clever storage options. As regular houses get more and more unaffordable, people will have to think about better ways for storage so that they can use their spaces in a more efficient way. A lot of the old houses have way too much unused space.
Bryce and Rasa, well done! This is the video that I didn't realise I badly wanted -- one focusing on all the clever storage ideas. Great job. Don't want to nag or be demanding, but I remember many other tiny houses you presented with equally clever ideas, so I'm sure you have enough material already for another "anthology" some time down the line...? Maybe? Anyhow, this was fabulous, I loved it. Thanks as always!
This was a great reminder of storage ideas i had forgotten. You’ve got so much content now that going back and creating subject-specific compilations is a great use of down time.
Hi Bryce & Rasa. Great idea, doing a 'storage special'. I would be very interested in another of these one-topic videos, to see how tiny home builders have dealt with the power, plumbing, heating & cooling challenges, particularly for fully off-grid living. Great channel, full of great ideas and very inspiring - Thanks!
I like the storage-themed montage edit. It's super useful to see all the tips and tricks of this one aspect conveniently all in one place. It feels reminiscent of the idea behind tiny house living itself.
Loved this concept and episodes like this so we can look back and get even more ideas in, we can look back in a lot of other ways and keep bringing joy into this crazy times we are living in.. I was really missing this show 👏 glad to see new content again Stay safe
Loved the chemistry with lovely Asha, 7:51. This video is really inspiring and cleverly compiled; countless ideas to apply for our dream houses. Genius creativity!
Congratulations. I read that New Zealand is free from pandemic COVID 19. Hope world gets freedom from these depressing tough times..Anyways great episode as always..❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Yes, it's very exciting and I'm super proud of New Zealand for being really proactive, locking down hard and getting. to the stage where we can now return to (almost) life as normal. It means at least that we can start filming new local tours!
Jam-packed with great storage ideas that are inspirational. As an engineer, I watched with a big smile to see so many simple and effective technical solutions rolling by! Thanks for sharing.
Love all of your videos. This is especially good as I want to build a tiny house (not necessarily on wheels) but storage ideas were needed. I agree with many of the comments that I would like to see more topic specific videos. How people have incorporated the outdoors is a good one that I would like to see.
What an amazing video! Saved to my tiny house inspo list 💖 More like this pls. More storage or other tiny house topics. Clever beds? Multi use furniture? TV and sound? Pets? Interesting lofts? Kids spaces? Pretty much anything.
Imma Ben Makhlouf List of the Pros of Living in a Tiny House 1. It is easier to own your home when you live in a tiny house. The ownership rate of people living in a tiny house is 78%. For those living in a traditional house, the ownership rate is just 65%. Many of those who own their tiny house don’t have a mortgage either. 68% of homeowners with a tiny house have no mortgage at all, compared to the national rate of 30% of U.S. homeowners. 2. Tiny homes provide all the modern conveniences. Just because the home is tiny doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the conveniences of modern living. You can have air conditioning in your tiny home. You can have the space needed for a washer and dryer. Some tiny homes even have a second level available in them for a private sleeping space. The customization options for a tiny home are almost the same as they are for standard homes. 3. It is much cheaper to build. The average cost of a standard house in the United States is $272,000. The average cost to build a tiny home is just $23,000 if it is built by the owner. Even if the work is contracted out to professional builders, the cost to build a tiny house is still 80% lower than the cost to build a standard home. That makes it much easier to save money because maintenance costs are also lower. 1 in 3 tiny house owners have at least $10,000 saved for their retirement. 4. Tiny homes are portable. If you own property, then you can build your own tiny home and have a great place to live at a discount. One of the advantages of a tiny home is that they can also be placed on a trailer, much like a fifth wheel, so you can have a vacation home wherever you travel. Although there are vehicle registration issues to consider with a portable tiny home, many families have the option to travel full-time while still having the option to work from home. 5. It offers reduced maintenance requirements. If you are living in less space, then you are going to spend less time cleaning. You’ll spend less on the cost to replace a roof or update the exterior paint. Those who have embraced the tiny house movement discovered that they have much more free time because there is less space that needs to be covered. 6. You’re going to save plenty of cash. Alexa Nota calculated her total cash savings for Travel Well Magazine after transitioning into a tiny house lifestyle. In just rent and utilities alone, she is saving $560 per month. Compared to renting, they are paying $547 per month more when all expenses were considered, though she estimated that their truck and hose would be paid-off in 3 years. There are options to work in exchange for free camping sites to limit site rental costs, which means the long-term savings is quite high. 7. It provides opportunities for less consumption. Living in a tiny house means being conscious of every purchase that you make. If you do not have room to store something, then you can’t have it in your tiny home unless you sacrifice space for it. That means your wasteful spending goes down. Your overall waste goes down in the kitchen. You begin looking for ways to recycle items instead of throwing them away. That means you’re always looking to reduce your consumption instead of worrying about how much you can afford. 8. Energy efficiencies are built into tiny homes. When you have a smaller space to heat or cool, then you spend less on the energy required to make yourself comfortable. Although extreme conditions that make you uncomfortable in a standard house will also affect you in a tiny home, you’ll find that the actual processes for heating or cooling are very similar to what you’d find in any other home. The energy requirements are so low, in fact, that mobile solar panels and a good high-capacity battery could take you completely off the grid. 9. It doesn’t require a septic system. Tiny homes built in the city can be connected to a sewer system for modern plumbing needs. The advantage here is that remote tiny houses don’t require a septic system to provide modern convenience. With a composting toilet, you can go anywhere without worrying about your connections. If you use the toilet full-time, a couple living in a tiny house may need to clean it out about once every 6 weeks. You can also equip a black water tank and plumbing capabilities for a traditional flushing system, even on a fully portable tiny home. 10. There is plenty of space for your pets. Although you’re not going to be able to live with three dogs and two cats when you embrace the tiny house movement, you are not excluded from having pet companionship. A cat (or two) in a larger space works just fine. If you have some outdoor space, a small dog breed works well with a tiny house too. For those who love to travel, the tiny home, acting as a fifth wheel, makes it a lot easier to take your furry friends with you on your next adventure. 11. It gives you the chance to splurge on building materials. Because you have less space to worry about with a tiny home, you can splurge on certain items with your building budget. You could upgrade your floor to hardwood or bamboo flooring for a minimal cost. You could add stainless steel appliances without much issue. You could even opt for more exotic woods for your interior. Although space will always be precious in this type of home, you also have more personalization options then you might normally be able to afford.
Bryce, thank you so much for doing this compilation. Some amazing ideas here. The rollaway wardrobe with the hidden shower is tops. I remember that video, and the ones with the floor and ceiling storage. So many memories here. You and Rasa do an amazing job. Please stay safe and take care of yourselves. We love you.
I love all the great ways people have built in storage to there tiny homes. Large homes and even appartments could benifit from these ideas. And space saving, or multi purpose funiture is also a great idea. Thanks for showing us a look back at some really cool features.
I love your videos! 😍They are so relaxing and enjoyable! I'm glad you are ok, thank you so much for these wonderful ideas, I so need them right now 🙂👍🏻💜
Love this entire video, but the shower/rolling closet idea blew my mind. Definitely want to incorporate that idea into my container home I'm about to build! What a fantastic idea!
Yah! Another video! I just find this channel SO exciting. My son is moving into a 500 sq ft condo but he is now watching as well for storage ideas. Thanks!

How's it coming along?
How did you navigate the local laws and building codes, and land use etc.
Congratulations!!!

You're not alone. Same here.

We all know Bryce is a wonderful host, but the editing is incredible too. I am guessing Rasa did it or both. Great job.
Thank you :) 🙏❤️

Yes, excellent work Rasa. You & Bryce make a Great team!!!

Same Raynola, more storage and kitchen space in all thoseTiny Houses then in my real house. So many ideas.
Your videos make me feel like one day I can achieve my goal of tiny house living and minimalism ❤️
Thanks Ash! I'm sure you will. :)
Good morning frm the Philippines.
Same here dreaming to have one soon...
You can do minimalism without the tiny house. Start now!
To the ones whos reading this. You will have a chance to have this lovely tiny house someday. Dont give up❤
While I don't plan to have it as a primary residence, I am going to use these great designs for adding guest quarters to my outbuilding workshop.

Still one of the best ideas I have ever seen.
Thanks to your fantastic channel, which I only discovered in the last 6 weeks, I am designing our future small home 🌳🌳🏡🌳. Not a mobile one, but an eco-friendly, hopefully off-grid, minimal footprint one. Taking notes of what works for others, what to adopt/adapt, must-have features, multifunctionality etc., I find this sooo inspirational and my Pinterest boards for various aspects of this dream build are evolving nicely. This is clearly your passion and it shines through 🌟
Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, your authenticity, enthusiasm and filming style are a delight to watch 🔮💜
(And please get Jacinda to consider adopting that place to the west of NZ, to add to your North and South Islands, as the "Big" Island 🙏) 🌏
I love your whole series, and admire all the storage options compiled. As a 64-year-old, I have to squirm when I see gigantic stair treads, as when we age, climbing up something so steep becomes less possible, despite the massive storage drawers or laundry machines incorporated. I would love to see Tiny Houses address the needs of the aging population more, as I'm still not throwing in the towel for new adventures.
More compilation videos please! With so many different ideas all in one place, there's practical ideas for everyone no matter what the physical logistics of their tiny home. It's also a great starting point for people that are in the planning stages or partway through their builds.
That was amazing. I was surprised I didn't see Miss Dolly in this video....she had tons of space, a walk in closet. The show really shows the creativity in creating space for everything you need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
There is somethnig incredibly positive, relaxing and calming in your videos :)
So glad you enjoy them. Thanks!
I absolutely agree! Love them!
I agree! 3 Major reasons IMO:
1.) These are unique and very personal homes, that feel like "homes" rather than rented cinderblocks, without also being beyond most "starter home" prices, so it's like an attainable dream.
2.) Bryce and Rasa are such positive & generous hosts that make all the tiny home owners also look like happy, content people.
2.) The very relaxed yet cheerful intro and outtro music :D

I really enjoyed this video. Can't wait to another highlight of tiny house.
This is such fantastic and creative inspiration! Perhaps there are other past videos with categorical ideas you could pull from while you await opportunities to travel again such as tiny house bathrooms, kitchens, decks/porches, downstairs bedroom designs, discussions from your home owners on where to find places to park a tiny home, ideas for planning the type of home to suit ones needs and how to process this selection (you’ve shown such amazing variety of build types!), considerations when planning a build and what home features to include and what to base this on... oh so much good info in all the past years of videos that’s easy to forget! Keep reminding us of all the good stuff that lurks in the archives! Even long time followers can view the videos in new ways as you hone in on various aspects of tiny living! Bryce, you are a gifted interviewer and the new historical themed video was fabulous! So happy to see this video today! Thank you both for your wonderful channel!!
K Griffin-Wonderful, useful comment. Thanks!
(I'd like to see a stair design compilation. At 71, ladders do not interest me! 😵)
The house with the two separate bedrooms for Mom and daughter is still my favorite. So much in such a tiny space!
This is the BEST video idea - thank you so much. Now I don't have to hunt for each specific idea - lovely to have them all in one place. Thanks!!!
I really love the compilation style. Would be wonderful to see a compilation of people's experiences living in tiny houses through the winter, esp. if they deal with snow and being cooped up for many months of the year.
The train-drawer system is really smart! Love it!
Ah more fuel for my conference call doodles! I've recently challenged myself to do a 2m x 3m space and I'm having a lot of fun playing with the raised bed thing!
This channel has inspired a lot of DIY changes in our flat too - we've gone from like 0 storage to a ridiculous amount over the past year and I'm having so much fun with it!
Thank you for showcasing these, Bryce! I don't live in a tiny house, but my house is too small for my family. This has become especially apparent now that I work at home, but I am a cook in a house with a kitchen that the builder made for retirees who don't cook much. As a result, a lot of my cooking items are in my garage. The pull out pantry in Leah's house inspires me, because our pantry is too small for 4 people (including my special diet that is different from the rest of the family). I can incorporate her roll out unit in mine and maximize the space. Thank you!
Bryce, as you often say "this is clever" and this week's video is exactly that sooo clever. Love the problem solving storage solutions presented here. Thks
Probably one of the best vids. Storage is ALWAYS the big question. Love the Lazy Susan closet
I just realized how I watched every single house featured and now this made me want to rewatch it again. The storages spaces never cease to amaze me❤
TY Bryce for this "best of...show."
PLEASE make it a
series as I love all the unique ideas for planning and remembering these great homeowners. Would love a "best of" bathrooms, bedrooms and exteriors.
I really like this compilation style video, given that you've visited so many houses now that sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the cool ideas we've seen.
I always watch your videos to the very end. Although i live in a fairly big house and will probably move to a bigger house, my heart is in these tiny houses. Watching these videos make me feel so happy, as if I had a tiny house of my own in the woods with large open windows and a breathtaking vies from my deck and from the window by my bed. Thank you for getting all these wonderful tiny house owners to share their homes and their hearts.
I hope you do more videos like this. The theme that focus on one thing/problem and a shows how different owners work with/around it.
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed this concept and would like to see more.
Best idea >>> the rolling clothes shelf on top of the shower; saves so much space!
Storage ideas were always something that I had been waiting for every episode.
I thought I'd watched all your tours, but there were a couple of homes in this I'd never seen before. ::bounce bounce ... new episodes to watch:: One of my favorite aspects of tiny houses is the unique and clever storage ideas to be found, so this was a treat. You're so right about human creativity; it's boundless. Trust you and Rasa are safe and well.
Bryce is to the Living Big In a Tiny House what Kevin is to Grand Designs: what makes the show priceless and unique.
This is one of my favorite episodes, because whether you live in a Tiny House or not-- the brilliant ideas for using space creatively and efficiently make life better for residents, including children and pets. Thanks so much for sharing this special presentation!
Wow that must have taken you a long time putting that video together, going back through all of that footage! Very nice!!!
2:45 This is my favourite so far. When they turned the boxes in chairs was mind blowing. Many times tiny houses are cool but not guests-friendly. This is the cleverest use of space I've seen.
These storage ideas are so cool! You don't really need to be living in a tiny house to implement them.
I’m watching more than ever, I hope to start building my Tiny House this time next year. I will be moving out of my home of 42 years. I am a widow now and my dog and I have been watching you for over two years. Love your tubes.
❤️ Beautiful storage solutions for tiny homes! You don't need big houses to be happy! 🌼
We are a family of 7 living in a 900 sq.ft. tiny house on a foundation. We are constantly looking for new ideas to best utilize space in order to give every family member the ability to own their own items. This “best of” compilation is appreciated! We always enjoy your show. My 9 year old is already committed to designing her own tiny house so when she graduates from college she can “owe no one money” and work on the road.
Great job Bryce & Rasa,
I think all of the home owners should get Gold Stars. There was not a bad idea in all of them. I think the ones with the raised floors to create under floor is a clever idea. Plus the beds that raised is exceptional for a senior that may not be able to climb stairs very well. It also means the bed does not have to be made every morning. lol. The hidden shower was an exceptional idea. But all in all anyone would be hard pressed to find fault with any of them.
Great job reporting. Be safe.
A Tiny House with an excellent way of storage is a Functional Tiny House. Thanks, Bryce for sharing these storage ideas.
I don't get how people's minds work this way - they see every bit of space as an opportunity and it's so smart I'm in total awe.
I guess they sat through and actually listened to all their math / geometry in school lol. I didn't 😂
Shalina, this is by far the best tiny house design I have seen. I am so impressed that you and Laz were able to do this yourselves.
This brings together some of my top favourite storage ideas from past videos. I especially love the under floor train and the ceiling drop-downs.
Loved this video - not just as a reminder of all the storage options, but being reminded that this isn't just a "fad" but that there is serious commitment all around the world.
Can you make a video like this one about bringing the outdoors in, or, connection to the outdoors, something along those lines. I would love to see that.
Thanks for the idea!
Oh yes please!
I would love some more questions on the type of insulation people used and how happy they were with results. Having spent time in metal caravans the open ventilation can't be be fun all year round in some climates.
I totally concur! One of the ones here I recall seeing before that stuck in my head as def wanting in future design, is the one that has the large horizontal window in kitchen, where window opens to outside deck with bar stools. There's also a couple of other designs I have seen previously that ties in the living areas with the outside deck. Both of those aspects will drive my future design
classic ambo yes insulation would be great! As I’m about to refit a schoolie and am atm just winging it as to what to insulate with as any vids I’ve seen it mentioned were more about protecting from cold than heat (I’m in australia)
Super nice to have a look back at all the tiny houses, you guys have visited in the past. You've definitely covered a lot!
I can't wait until quarantine is over and you'll be able to travel and post more tiny house tours ❤️😊
Us too! Thankfully lockdown is now over in NZ and we are able to start filming local tours again. :)
@@livingbig that's great! Wish you both the best! 👌❤️
Yay! Your videos are always one of the best parts of my week
@@livingbig Stay safe :)
stay safe to u all
Wow wow wow. Super cool. All these beautiful tiny houses were amazing. The storages really wonderful. The owners are full of loving hearts. Thank you for the video. May God bless and protect you.
Just when I think I ran out of tiny home videos, I see this notification! Awesome video! Can’t wait to implement some of these in my tiny home
For sure! Sounds like you're working on a great new design. :)
A lot of these have been my all time favourite that you've done Bryce and Rasa. I see you've put some wood and faux fur elements in your home. It's such a sweet space for you to grow together. Much love ♥️
This was everything I wanted but didn't know I needed! & I don't live in a tiny house, just a tiny apartment that I can add storage too.
Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rasa! Thanks to all those ingenious guests! 🏡
The fact that I discovered this channel like a week ago and recognized every single clip on this video says a lot about me
Amazing Bryce and Rasa. There are so many clever uses for storage and these awesome people have just used their tiny spaces to the fullest. I really enjoyed looking back at all of these tiny homes and how clever they are. How exciting for you and Rasa and New Zealand moving to level 1, and being Covid free, for now. I live in Idaho and we are about to enter into stage 4 of the lockdown, but only if the governor deems it safe enough. I am so excited that you will be able to start filming some new tiny home tours locally. Thank you so much Bryce and Rasa, see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
Trip down memory lane seeing my favourite tiny homes. Great episode 😃
This is one of my favourite tiny house videos as I mostly adore them for their clever storage options. As regular houses get more and more unaffordable, people will have to think about better ways for storage so that they can use their spaces in a more efficient way. A lot of the old houses have way too much unused space.
17:05 His house design had to be in this video haha. I'm looking forward to more of these kind of videos. Nice!
Bryce and Rasa, well done! This is the video that I didn't realise I badly wanted -- one focusing on all the clever storage ideas. Great job. Don't want to nag or be demanding, but I remember many other tiny houses you presented with equally clever ideas, so I'm sure you have enough material already for another "anthology" some time down the line...? Maybe? Anyhow, this was fabulous, I loved it. Thanks as always!
This was a great reminder of storage ideas i had forgotten. You’ve got so much content now that going back and creating subject-specific compilations is a great use of down time.
Hi Bryce & Rasa. Great idea, doing a 'storage special'. I would be very interested in another of these one-topic videos, to see how tiny home builders have dealt with the power, plumbing, heating & cooling challenges, particularly for fully off-grid living.
Great channel, full of great ideas and very inspiring - Thanks!
Ah nos petits Frenchies _TINY HOUSE LIVINGSTON!_
Plein de bisous!
I like the storage-themed montage edit. It's super useful to see all the tips and tricks of this one aspect conveniently all in one place. It feels reminiscent of the idea behind tiny house living itself.
You know they’re new when you hear “that’s so clever of them to add stair storage” 🤣🤣
Part of what really draws me to the Tiny Home movement is all the clever storage solutions. Love this episode!
Loved this concept and episodes like this so we can look back and get even more ideas in, we can look back in a lot of other ways and keep bringing joy into this crazy times we are living in.. I was really missing this show 👏 glad to see new content again
Stay safe
Loved the chemistry with lovely Asha, 7:51. This video is really inspiring and cleverly compiled; countless ideas to apply for our dream houses. Genius creativity!
Congratulations. I read that New Zealand is free from pandemic COVID 19. Hope world gets freedom from these depressing tough times..Anyways great episode as always..❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
Yes, it's very exciting and I'm super proud of New Zealand for being really proactive, locking down hard and getting. to the stage where we can now return to (almost) life as normal. It means at least that we can start filming new local tours!
@@livingbig Sure..You must be very proud ..Will be eagerly waiting for new episodes..👍👍😀😀
Living Big In A Tiny House be safe!
@@livingbig hi from PANAMA covid 19 season. watching all your videos and subscribed to the channel, saludos.
Jam-packed with great storage ideas that are inspirational. As an engineer, I watched with a big smile to see so many simple and effective technical solutions rolling by! Thanks for sharing.
Love all of your videos. This is especially good as I want to build a tiny house (not necessarily on wheels) but storage ideas were needed. I agree with many of the comments that I would like to see more topic specific videos. How people have incorporated the outdoors is a good one that I would like to see.
This episode is a treasure for anyone looking to get storage in any sort of home big or small.thanks a ton.
I'm literally recalling all of these houses while watching this!!
Absolutely loved it! ❤️
Wow what a good throwback! I remembered some old classics and found a few I haven't seen yet! This proves that tiny doesn't mean no storage options!
I just love this channel. There is so much inspiration even though if you don't fit the 'Tiny Home's' showed here, but they make you think different.
What an amazing video! Saved to my tiny house inspo list 💖
More like this pls. More storage or other tiny house topics. Clever beds? Multi use furniture? TV and sound? Pets? Interesting lofts? Kids spaces? Pretty much anything.
This is SO HANDY to have all these ideas in one video!
The way these stories weave together is so seamless. Cheers to you both on the editing
Love this! Hope you do this periodically when you compile more examples of brilliant storage!
This kind of ingenuity gathered together in one video is rare and priceless information. Thank you for sharing.
Omg yes please make compilation videos like this so I don't have to watch all 200 tours when I start designing my tiny house haha
Yes, please do that !!
Why would any one live in a tiny house? I don't understand!
Imma Ben Makhlouf List of the Pros of Living in a Tiny House
1. It is easier to own your home when you live in a tiny house.
The ownership rate of people living in a tiny house is 78%. For those living in a traditional house, the ownership rate is just 65%. Many of those who own their tiny house don’t have a mortgage either. 68% of homeowners with a tiny house have no mortgage at all, compared to the national rate of 30% of U.S. homeowners.
2. Tiny homes provide all the modern conveniences.
Just because the home is tiny doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the conveniences of modern living. You can have air conditioning in your tiny home. You can have the space needed for a washer and dryer. Some tiny homes even have a second level available in them for a private sleeping space. The customization options for a tiny home are almost the same as they are for standard homes.
3. It is much cheaper to build.
The average cost of a standard house in the United States is $272,000. The average cost to build a tiny home is just $23,000 if it is built by the owner. Even if the work is contracted out to professional builders, the cost to build a tiny house is still 80% lower than the cost to build a standard home. That makes it much easier to save money because maintenance costs are also lower. 1 in 3 tiny house owners have at least $10,000 saved for their retirement.
4. Tiny homes are portable.
If you own property, then you can build your own tiny home and have a great place to live at a discount. One of the advantages of a tiny home is that they can also be placed on a trailer, much like a fifth wheel, so you can have a vacation home wherever you travel. Although there are vehicle registration issues to consider with a portable tiny home, many families have the option to travel full-time while still having the option to work from home.
5. It offers reduced maintenance requirements.
If you are living in less space, then you are going to spend less time cleaning. You’ll spend less on the cost to replace a roof or update the exterior paint. Those who have embraced the tiny house movement discovered that they have much more free time because there is less space that needs to be covered.
6. You’re going to save plenty of cash.
Alexa Nota calculated her total cash savings for Travel Well Magazine after transitioning into a tiny house lifestyle. In just rent and utilities alone, she is saving $560 per month. Compared to renting, they are paying $547 per month more when all expenses were considered, though she estimated that their truck and hose would be paid-off in 3 years. There are options to work in exchange for free camping sites to limit site rental costs, which means the long-term savings is quite high.
7. It provides opportunities for less consumption.
Living in a tiny house means being conscious of every purchase that you make. If you do not have room to store something, then you can’t have it in your tiny home unless you sacrifice space for it. That means your wasteful spending goes down. Your overall waste goes down in the kitchen. You begin looking for ways to recycle items instead of throwing them away. That means you’re always looking to reduce your consumption instead of worrying about how much you can afford.
8. Energy efficiencies are built into tiny homes.
When you have a smaller space to heat or cool, then you spend less on the energy required to make yourself comfortable. Although extreme conditions that make you uncomfortable in a standard house will also affect you in a tiny home, you’ll find that the actual processes for heating or cooling are very similar to what you’d find in any other home. The energy requirements are so low, in fact, that mobile solar panels and a good high-capacity battery could take you completely off the grid.
9. It doesn’t require a septic system.
Tiny homes built in the city can be connected to a sewer system for modern plumbing needs. The advantage here is that remote tiny houses don’t require a septic system to provide modern convenience. With a composting toilet, you can go anywhere without worrying about your connections. If you use the toilet full-time, a couple living in a tiny house may need to clean it out about once every 6 weeks. You can also equip a black water tank and plumbing capabilities for a traditional flushing system, even on a fully portable tiny home.
10. There is plenty of space for your pets.
Although you’re not going to be able to live with three dogs and two cats when you embrace the tiny house movement, you are not excluded from having pet companionship. A cat (or two) in a larger space works just fine. If you have some outdoor space, a small dog breed works well with a tiny house too. For those who love to travel, the tiny home, acting as a fifth wheel, makes it a lot easier to take your furry friends with you on your next adventure.
11. It gives you the chance to splurge on building materials.
Because you have less space to worry about with a tiny home, you can splurge on certain items with your building budget. You could upgrade your floor to hardwood or bamboo flooring for a minimal cost. You could add stainless steel appliances without much issue. You could even opt for more exotic woods for your interior. Although space will always be precious in this type of home, you also have more personalization options then you might normally be able to afford.
You are the first tiny home channel I've ever come across. thank you for your charismatic spirit and consistency with this content.
Totally loved this video! Would love to see more compilations, even though I've seen most of the original videos.
Bryce, thank you so much for doing this compilation. Some amazing ideas here. The rollaway wardrobe with the hidden shower is tops. I remember that video, and the ones with the floor and ceiling storage. So many memories here.
You and Rasa do an amazing job. Please stay safe and take care of yourselves. We love you.
I love it ! More videos like this during quarantine please !
I love all the great ways people have built in storage to there tiny homes. Large homes and even appartments could benifit from these ideas. And space saving, or multi purpose funiture is also a great idea. Thanks for showing us a look back at some really cool features.
I love your videos! 😍They are so relaxing and enjoyable! I'm glad you are ok, thank you so much for these wonderful ideas, I so need them right now 🙂👍🏻💜
Thanks!
Love this entire video, but the shower/rolling closet idea blew my mind. Definitely want to incorporate that idea into my container home I'm about to build! What a fantastic idea!
this was a great idea and a great resource. Now we just need a compilation of every you time you said "Can we see your bathroom?!"
Followed by people saying they LOVE their composting toilets! ...oddballs...
Love those ideas! Overhead 'shelves/drawers', the long pull-out benches for clothes/seating & table plus BED! beautiful hidden shower!?? love love
Thank you both for making this beautiful compilation!!! So helpful when I'm looking for something specific from your episodes!!!!😻
Yah! Another video! I just find this channel SO exciting. My son is moving into a 500 sq ft condo but he is now watching as well for storage ideas. Thanks!
