Tiny House Rooms: 25 Amazing Decorating Ideas

These decorating ideas range from designing with a better approach to choosing materials from rugs.

We don’t expect you to follow them all at the same time. However, these ideas will inspire you to decorate a tiny room with a clearer and more purposeful direction.  

1. Start with a minimalist approach.

A minimalist approach will let every element shine.

Undeniably, this is the most common approach for decorating tiny houses.  Not only will this make your room look more spacious, but it will give it a sophisticated look.

It’s a good space-saving method since it will force you to use only the essentials. Fewer items mean less clutter.  

If you’re a little tight on the budget, an industrial-themed room would be a great ‘go-to’ theme. 

Gray palettes are often the safest shade in tiny house rooms if it’s formal. Other shades that work well with this theme are sea-foam green, rose pink, and cherry red.

2.  It’s all in the lights. 

With the right lights, you could achieve an exceptional room ambiance. You don’t even have to break the bank to buy expensive centerpieces.

Make the most of natural lights. If possible, avoid blocking windows with curtains to let natural light flow in. 

However, if you need to add curtains, go for sheer or light-colored fabrics. Add shiny wall pieces or mirrors to reflect more light inside the room.

If the room has large windows, opt for glass windows instead of thick window treatments that absorb light. Frosted windows would work in spaces where you’d want more light but with some privacy.

Moreover, adding a few task lighting in certain corners boosts the illumination inside the room. 

Try using overhead lighting, a small chandelier, or scones to add accent to any room without sacrificing function. Take a look at this elegant chandelier light from Laborate Lighting.

3. Buy functional but elegant furniture.

If you want your tiny house rooms to look more comfortable, choose furniture that stores the bulk of your items in one place.

Popular stores like IKEA have small tables or chairs that act as storage cabinets. Unique pieces such as shelf floor lamps act as a shelf and lamp at the same time. It would also make a great centerpiece to accentuate a room.

Floating shelves would be ideal for decorating small spaces. Not only are these functional but these also provide storage for small items such as phones, keys, and decorations.

Though not the sturdiest shelves, these are items that would make a nice alternative to bulky cabinets.

4. Go for DIY projects.

If you’ve done some woodwork before, you can create pieces such as sliding shelves, hanging clothing rack, and murphy desks to fit a small room. 

With imagination and determination, you can create pieces with your desired functionality. 

You can also check out unique items such as console tables and stacking furniture.

5. Small spaces, big personalities.

Setting your mind on a color theme will give your tiny space more personality.

You can give each room a distinct personality. Tiny house rooms are limited so it’s crucial you know what colors or themes to work with.

Don’t be afraid to use sharp colors like yellows, reds, and greens together. But if this eclectic design throws you off, you can add centerpieces. 

A perfect piece would be this elegant Urban Shop Faux Fur Saucer Chair.

You can hang artwork, decorations, rugs, ottomans, sofas, or even bright vinyl desks on neutral-colored spaces.

6. Be smart about your storage spaces.

Finding places to put your stuff can be a challenge with tiny house rooms. 

The bed does take most of the space, and a big cabinet and an extra table can make the room even smaller and more cramped than it already is. To resolve this problem, you can invest in smart furniture with built-in storage spaces. 

For example, how beautiful and smart this Lift Top Coffee Table w/Hidden Compartment is?

You can also use all available surface space in the room. The windowsill is a great place to put lighting, decor, and your other knick-knacks—just make sure to arrange them in a neat and orderly way. 

Adding wall mounts or built-in bookshelves is another nifty idea to save floor space in your room. 

You may also want to keep large items, such as your luggage, under your bed if there is enough space. This way, you get more space for your other furniture.

7. Use mirrors to your advantage.

Tiny house rooms lack in space, and there’s nothing we can do about that. However, you can make it look wider by adding mirrors. 

This is also useful if your small room is not blessed with a lot of natural light, as it can reflect light around the room. 

Check out this classic wall mirror from 4Ever Beauti.

But simply hanging a mirror on the wall is not enough. Strategically place mirrors on your wall for you to get the full effect. Consider adding a mirror gallery of different shapes and sizes on your wall. 

Lining your wall with a large mirror can also give you the same results. Leaning a large modern mirror against your wall is another good trick to make your room appear bigger.

8. Let natural light in.

Tiny house rooms can look smaller if they are left in the dark. Therefore, if you have access to natural light, let it pour in to make the room look more open and airy. Use light-colored curtains or semi-sheer shades instead of dark and heavy ones.

However, if your room does not have enough windows where natural light can come in, you can make up for it by adding a lot of light sources. 

If you have a relatively high ceiling, you can add sconces or wall-mounted lighting. Meanwhile, if you don’t have a high ceiling, table lamps will also do the trick in giving your room a bright and cozy atmosphere. 

Want more privacy? No worries! You can apply window film to your glass window for more privacy without blocking the light from beaming to your tiny house.

9. Use multi-purpose furniture

Space has always been the number one concern for tiny house rooms. But no matter how small your room is, you still need a bed and a desk, especially if you work at home. But you don’t need them 24/7, right? 

So, why not consider investing in a sofa that doubles as a bed when the metal frame underneath is unfolded? Installing a folding desk is also another smart space-saving strategy that can help you free floor space. 

Of course, when using a folding desk, you also need somewhere to sit. A big and bulky chair does not fit into your decor, so make sure to use a slim but comfortable foldable chair.

How about a kitchen table that extends? This is perfect for when you have guests. Check out this beautiful Livinia Extending Dining Table.

10. Pay close attention to scale.

Just because tiny house rooms don’t have enough floor space doesn’t mean that you have to make do with pint-size decor and furniture. 

You can add large pieces in your room, as long as you don’t overdo it. You can also use large-scale art and regular-size furniture. Check out this very classy storage cabinet in oak finish.

However, you will need to work with fewer pieces in the room. That’s why you need to be smart and only choose a few statement pieces that will stand out and draw the eye.

11. Don’t overcrowd your room.

Even semi-essential furniture and appliances shouldn’t be in a tiny house.

The key to styling tiny house rooms is choosing the right furniture pieces and finding the right place for each one of them. 

Avoid pressing them up against the wall or tucking them tightly together, as it will make the room smaller than it already is. Make sure that there is enough space between furniture pieces. 

Additionally, leaving a little space between the wall and your furniture is the magic effect you need to make the room look and feel wider.

You also need to make a few compromises to save space. This means you may need to discard furniture that you don’t use on a daily basis, such as accent chairs and side tables. 

12. Pick the right rug!

When choosing a rug, it might be tempting to choose a small one because of your tiny space. But that is the exact opposite of what you should do. 

A larger rug—even the ones with a bold pattern—can make a small room feel bigger. For example, stripes can create the illusion of a wider space. You might want to check this intricately designed nuLOOM Moroccan Blythe Area Rug.

Also, make sure to choose a rug large enough to accommodate most of your furniture.

Don’t skimp on the material, either. For tiny house rooms, you can try vibrant sheepskin rugs. Choose a solid color you would love seeing every time you wake up or before you go to sleep. Rugs with bright hues suit the hallways. 

13. Keep the design dynamic but cohesive.

Having a small space doesn’t mean you can’t play with color, scale, and decor. However, there are only so many things to look at in a small room that it’s so easy to spot anything out of place. 

There’s nothing wrong if you want to add color to your room, as long as you don’t overdo it. Sticking to a limited color palette is a good start. 

Moreover, choosing furnishings that complement each other can help prevent the room from looking cluttered.

14. Take advantage of your vertical space.

Floor space is a big problem for tiny house rooms. That’s why you need to utilize every free space you have, including the walls. Think vertical instead of horizontal. 

Wall-mounted shelves and lights. Built-in shelves. Floating shelves. There are all excellent additions to a small room for storing your trinkets, books, and other stuff.

Furthermore, hanging draperies as close to the ceiling as possible adds airiness and height to a small room. 

Make sure to extend the rod on both sides of the window by at least four inches to make the window look wider. 

Plus, it’s a good trick to allow more light in since you can pull the curtain all the way to the side of the window.

15. Position your furniture wisely.

Know were to put your couches, coffee tables, and chairs to improve mobility.

Knowing where to place your furniture can help you save floor space, as well as make a small room look less cramped. 

For example, putting the bed against the window and curtain can help create a natural focal point.

Installing sconces is another good way to save space, as they remove the need for a side table where you can place your lamp. 

Adding swing chairs can also help you save floor space. Plus, they are super fun and look cool from a design perspective.

16. You can also embrace the Furniture-Free Movement. 

The title says it right: you can live with tiny house rooms, happy and content, with the least number of furniture. The reason for doing this is simple. 

You want to encourage more range of motion that can strengthen your musculoskeletal system. You also end up spending less time slouching and living like a couch potato.

How do you achieve this? Take, for example, your living room: 

  • Exchange your tiny sofa with big floor cushions.
  • Swap your carpet or rug with a yoga mat. 
  • Keep your tables low so that they will force you to sit. 
  • Place your exercise equipment, such as dumbbells or balls, nearby.
  • Hang a steel or metal bar near the doors for your pull-ups. 

17. Go for the extreme minimalist lifestyle.

“Extreme minimalism” is minimalism on steroids. It’s removing everything that you don’t need in your tiny house rooms. This way, you can reclaim your space and fill yourself with things that are more essential. It may be a peace of mind, self-care, and even savings. 

To do it, here are a few ideas:

  • Significantly limit the number of items you own. If minimalism cuts your clothes by half, further pare them down until you have, say, 20 of them. 
  • Pick experiences over collections of possessions.
  • Opt for a hammock instead of a bed. 
  • Follow the principles of furniture-free living. 
  • Set limitations. You can get your travel bag and then try to fit in all the essentials you need. If you can’t get everything in, then it’s time to minimize further.

18. Extend your tiny house rooms to the yard.

Extending some parts of your home outdoors can free up a lot of space in your tiny house. You won’t also feel cramped inside. 

A good example is the dining area. Attach a porch or a small deck outside and add a table a few chairs. Voila! You can now experience al fresco meals anytime! 

A pair of sturdy and classy outdoor folding chairs would be a nice idea. Check out this heavy-duty reclining foldable chair from TechCare.

Got kids? You can’t expect them to roam around a tiny home, but certainly, they can have all the joy they need outdoors.

19. Go up, up, up…

When you’re living in a home the size of a flatbed trailer or a camper van, it’s difficult to have specific sections—that is, unless you decide to go up. 

If you want clearly defined tiny house rooms, such as a bedroom or a lounge area, then go for a loft! This design will give you ample space underneath while fully maximizing your vertical space. You can also enjoy some privacy.

Can you make it fancy? Of course, you can! Install a tiny sunroof or use French windows. Add an ornate rail or put up some tiny plants like succulents for barriers. 

When it comes to stairs, you can use ladders or, even better, built-in step cabinets and bookshelves. This way, you get extra storage. 

20. Decide what matters most.

Many people decide to live in a tiny home, and it’s not always about paying less to zero mortgage. Some do it because they want to downsize and spend less time accumulating material wealth

The question then is, what is a tiny house for you? When you know the answer, then you can decide more appropriately about the layout and the number of rooms your space will have. 

Consider these other queries:

  • Do you really need a living room when you already have a deck? 
  • Can you wash your clothes outside, so you don’t need a laundry room? 
  • How often do you like to go outdoors? If it’s frequent, then perhaps you can do away with entertainment systems, such as television. 

When you try to make an inventory of your passions and reasons, you can have a tiny house that reflects who you are… and you’ll love to live in it!

21. Make your tiny house rooms work harder.

tiny house rooms - lots of knick-knacks
Every wall- and floor space is imperative in a tiny house.

If you can have multipurpose furniture, definitely, you can design multifunctional rooms. Consider these ideas:

  •  Add a sofa bed so you can convert your living room into a master’s bedroom or a “guest bedroom.”
  • Combine your shower and toilet to create a wet room. 
  • Buy a small washing machine that you can fit underneath the kitchen sink.
  • Convert your porch into a dining room. 
  • Spare a part of your long kitchen counter, put up some stools, and you now have a dining section for two. 

Remember, a little ingenuity can go a long way when it comes to breaking down your space.

22. Follow the open-plan concept.

How do you avoid making a tiny home feel even smaller and cluttered? It’s easy: go for an open-plan concept. There are many ways to do it while still defining your tiny house rooms:

  • Maximize the walls so that you can free the space in the middle. 
  • Consider an L-kitchen design to create a boundary between the living room and dining room without obstructing the view. 
  • Place the ladder or stairs to the loft to the side. 

23. Create the illusion of more space.

Besides adding many windows to let natural light in, you can create the illusion of largeness through the following:

  • Consider a high ceiling, perhaps three feet from the floor. This will also give you enough space for expansion, such as if you decide to add a loft. 
  • Put up curtains near the ceiling, not on the upper edge of windows. Even if you don’t have a high ceiling, it feels like you do. 
  • Exchange bulky-looking furniture to leaner ones.

24. Be creative with your doors. 

Do you know that doors can take up a lot of space? Just try to open a standard door and then observe what happens. The good news is you can be creative about it. 

For example, you can use barn doors and sliding doors instead. It can even make your room appear sleeker. If you’re on a tight budget, go for curtains as dividers. 

You can use it for your bathroom or bedroom. When you want to see more space, all you need is to open them!

25. Paint the house with creamy colors.

Creamy colors and tiny houses are the best pair.

Perhaps your favorite color is black, but it may not be the best choice for your tiny house rooms. Darker shades can usually make your space appear smaller. 

The best paint hues for tiny houses are stark white, cream, ivory, and butter. Painting any of these colors alone will already make your room appear bigger. 

Now, that doesn’t mean you can never have anything red or orange or brown on your walls. They may be better off as accents than your primary colors. 

You can even go for a touch of sea green for a fresh ocean vibe in your small room. 

Hate the smell of paint? How about applying wallpaper instead? Try this self-adhesive wallpaper that comes in different colors.

Clean tiny house rooms: Upkeep tips to follow

tiny house rooms - library above bed
In cleaning a tiny house room, you should be realistic.

You now decorated your tiny house rooms for maximum efficiency… Now, you have to figure out how to keep clean. Start these five tips!

1. Clean one space at a time. 

It’s a small room, so you should be patient and start small. Don’t attempt to do everything at once. 

So, don’t be afraid to ditch your plan to do an overall cleaning routine. 

Well, maybe you can start a “general” cleaning routine—but start with small things like your bookshelves, for example. 

Categorize your books and magazines. You can even donate those old ones you have read before.

You’d be surprised by the space it can empty!

In tiny house rooms, being realistic and starting small can help you achieve your cleanliness goals. 

Make sure to equip yourself with a cleaning tool kit that can perform the job well.

2. Buy a good vacuum. 

And one that will not occupy a lot of space in your closet. Make no mistake, though—these small vacuums are just as powerful as the regular ones. 

For instance, cordless stick vacuums wouldn’t clog your closet. Still, it can clean and suck tough to clean dirt like spilled rice grains or cereals. 

If you want a long-lasting vacuum though, opt for compact and lightweight plug-in vacuums. 

Space shouldn’t be your only consideration, though. You also need to take into account if you have many carpets or if you have hardwood floors.

3. Make your bed every day. 

There are actually more benefits of making your bed, besides cleanliness in the room. For example, making your bed will give you a jumpstart to a daily habit of cleaning. 

Starting your day with it, it will give you a sense of accomplishment, improving your mood. As a result, you will be more productive and respectful of yourself. 

Being consistent with this habit will help keep your tiny room squeaky clean. 

We recommend using an easy-to-clean microfibre sheet like this AmazonBasics Lightweight Super Soft sheet.

4. Practice the Wabi-Sabi principle. 

Wabi-Sabi lessons work especially in keeping tiny house rooms clean. That’s because its essence is appreciating imperfection. 

In a tiny house room, you may be pressured to keep everything place and have every essential you require. However, you should be at peace with the fact that you won’t always achieve those goals. 

Through accepting that, you will not be pressured to hoard. As a result, your tiny house rooms will be cleaner and leaner!

5. Categorize your stuff and keep them in place. 

This is a good way to stay organized in a tiny place. Assign areas to your things, whether you use them all the time or you don’t. 

For example, if you have a workspace in your bedroom, you can divide the whole room into spaces for business and leisure. 

Through this, you can easily categorize your things and assign them positions. If you’re a morning person, your desk and office supplies can go to the place where the sunlight hits during the day.

Meanwhile, if you’re a night person, you can keep your desk and office supplies in that certain spot where the light fixture hits.

Tiny house rooms: The 5 underrated essentials you should have

The ultra-versatile pegboard for pans.| Photo Source

You may think that you only need your bed, cooking equipment, couch, and tiny shelves in your tiny house rooms. 

We disagree. We know we blab about minimalism a lot, but you should never forget to add these underrated staples in your tiny house rooms.

1. Pegboard for pans

Of course, this tiny house staple won’t disappear in an “essentials” list. Pegboards, because of their versatility, keep any room organized, especially the kitchen. 

If you’re decorating a kitchen-dining area, don’t forget to hang a pegboard for your pans

Most pegboards are made of aluminum steel, so their weight will increase as you add more pans. Therefore, make sure you choose a lightweight one. You can go for a 12 or 13-pound pegboard. 

2. Sink-toilet combo

To save even more space in your bathroom, go for a sink-toilet fixture

The best thing about these fixtures is that they recycle the water you use for washing your hands. The used water will be used to flush your waste, which is an effective way to save water. 

The designs and functions of sink-toilet fixtures can vary. They are commonly seen in Japan. 

3. Wall-mounted baskets as shelves.

A column of wall-mounted baskets can store a variety of things—tropical fruits, office supplies, beauty products, cooking utensils, and more. 

The great things about wall-mounted baskets as shelves are that they are easily accessible and removable in case you’re doing a remodel. That’s why you should only store things you frequently use or grab when you’re cleaning or cooking. 

You can buy regular baskets and then turn them into wall-mounted baskets with some nails, a wooden board, and maybe some wood glue.

While shopping for baskets, we suggest you choose those made of metal or plastic. They should also be clear, so you can see what’s inside every basket.

We don’t suggest baskets made of cloth. Besides not being transparent, they will also hold moisture and gather dust. You will also need to wash them regularly, unlike metal baskets. 

4. Shelf dividers

It’s not enough that you have closets and baskets for your clothes and toiletries. Inside, you have to divide and conquer. Do it with shelf dividers!

You can find shelf dividers in different designs, most of which are minimalist. These can come in acrylic, wood, or metal. However, we suggest you choose acrylic shelf dividers because they are more durable and pleasing to look at. How about these Acrylic Shelf Dividers?

While looking for the best brands, we found sets of shelf dividers that cost from $9.00 up to $25.00. Each divider might cost you less than $4.00. The metal ones are usually the most expensive. 

5. Stacking stools

Last but definitely not least are stacking stools! Some tiny house owners often forget that they are living in a tiny house and buy regular stools. 

You have to opt for stacking stools. Floor space is your currency in your tiny abode, so you have to take advantage of your high ceiling height (that is if you have one.) 

What’s that? They’re not that comfortable? Well, you don’t have to sacrifice comfortability if you choose stacking stools with padded seats. 

One example is the Fat Catalog Assorted Color Metal Stack Stool. These stools have thickly padded seats and four legs made of metal. 

Best themes for tiny house rooms

Can’t decide which of the 25 decorating ideas you’ll start following? You might want to take inspiration from these themes, first!

1. Scandinavian

The Scandinavian theme suits tiny rooms because it involves lighter shades, light brown wood, and clean lines. 

The details will not overwhelm you, providing you with a sense of relief every time you enter your room. It’s simply eye-pleasing. 

In your tiny room, you can emulate a Scandinavian room by “muting” the elements in the room. For instance, you can hang black and white photos. Rugs, sheets, and pillows can be in the shades or cool grey, stark white, or icy blue. 

Meanwhile, for the furniture pieces, you can opt for wood with the hues of cream, dark grey, or dark brown. They will go along with your rugs and bedsheets. 

However, don’t hesitate to add a pop of color. Seafoam, turquoise, or aquamarine will brighten up the room.

2. Japanese teahouse

The Japanese teahouse or “Chashitsu” embodies the simplicity and sophistication of Japanese architecture. 

This theme is inspiring to a tiny house since a Chashitsu is a tiny room as well; however, its elements give its occupants an incredible feeling of peace and spiritual satisfaction. 

If you want to emulate those elements in your tiny room, then take pointers from the qualities and features of Japanese teahouse design. Here are some of them. 

  • The Chashitsu uses sliding doors covered with translucent paper, so the sunlight can enter the room without being too bright. 
  • Use little to no furniture, if possible. 
  • In your loft, you can create a small alcove for one single bed or storage space. The alcove in the Chashitsu contains the altar.

3. Mid-Century Modern

Ah, this theme never loses its shine. Mid-Century Modern is not just the beautiful set design in the 60s-themed TV series, Mad Men. 

MCM is a design style that involves clean lines, streamlined forms, organic shapes and materials, and a lack of intricacy. It’s all about the iconic look and feel of the 1930s–1960s. 

This theme suits a tiny room perfectly because it already speaks so much by adding little to no decorations. For example, just look at this tiny house interior

mid-century-modern
Hip and groovy, but functional… This photo speaks 60s.

The MCM chandelier is already the star of the room. Remove the rug and the artwork, and the room will still turn heads. 

Now, that is the charm of a Mid-Century Modern theme. You can say so much without bothering to make everything coherent and adding multiple details.

4. Romantic

No, we are not talking hearts, roses, and rom-com movies. Romantic architecture is derived from the Romanticism movement. 

Romanticism in Architecture means the celebration of grandeur but out of place. You can take for example the mix of Egyptian and Asian aesthetics in a European building. 

Therefore, if you want your tiny house rooms to stand out, you can follow the elements of Romantic Architecture. Don’t be afraid to decorate your room and make the elements seem out of place. 

Maybe, just maybe, you can create something sublime.

5. Contemporary

If you want modernity and sustainability to reign in your tiny house rooms, then you should go for this theme.

Contemporary architecture consists of building elements derived from the 20th century onwards. We’re talking about crystal-esque facades, aluminum, concrete, and glass. 

However, more importantly, contemporary also means eco-friendly. That means the structure or room is designed to save or sustain energy. 

How can you make a tiny room contemporary? Just like our other tips, it’s important that you start with the basics, but it’s even more crucial that you apply these, particularly:

  • Go for smooth materials for your floorings—wood, vinyl, or tile. 
  • Limit your room’s hues to black, white, and neutrals.
  • Give your room a “voice” with metal or stone accents.
  • As for dinnerware, look for those with geometrical shapes.
  • Choose furniture pieces made of linen or wool. 

The future of decorating tiny house rooms

As technology progresses, the lines between home and work also blur even more. 

Tiny houses aren’t just “shrunken” versions of regular homes anymore. They are gaining an identity and a set of design principles on their own. 

This is especially evident in interior design.

Working at home 

Many people are now working at home. According to Global Workplace Analytics, more than 4 million employees are now working at home.

Therefore, it’s unsurprising if many buyers will look for prefab tiny houses with home offices or mini workspaces. 

It’s only imperative for designers and manufacturers to address concerns for space and sound efficiency in tiny houses.

More aggressive technology

We already have a variety of smart homes for quite some time now. How about smart tiny houses? Well, they are on the rise, too. 

Tiny houses with integrated gadgets and systems are becoming more common in developed countries. These devices will have more to do with monitoring the occupant’s health and wellness.

Beyond that, 3d printed tiny houses might become more prevalent, just like those ones in Eindhoven. 

The 3d building process of these tiny houses might not be all the rage right now. However, it’s definitely in the works since it’s more eco-friendly and affordable than traditional building methods.

Final thoughts

Building your dream home shouldn’t be a drag. While space may be limiting, it shouldn’t put your imagination in a cage. 

After all, each space has the potential to become beautiful on its own. So, pick up your creative hat and make this project your work of art!
