tiny living rooms

your desires in a great room

We’ll admit the term “great room” seems odd for a small space. Yet there is a central and open area in all tiny homes, right when you pass through the front door.

Great rooms express your desires and priorities, whether that’s spending time with family or friends, having a meal, watching TV, or even working at your computer. So great rooms need to serve multiple functions, without getting too filled up.

Here are some different great room treatments, for you to start thinking about arranging your own tiny or small house — and for maximum joy.
