Small and efficient homes, whether in the city, out in the country or even on the road, are becoming more and more popular. Interior design innovations are helping more and more people realize that, sometimes, less can be more!

As more people move into cities (and tiny apartments), efficient interior design has been driven by necessity, but many have been applying these clever and inspiring innovations to create comfortable and tiny homes elsewhere as well. The environmentally-minded love them for their efficiency (low heating and lighting costs). The philosophical or spiritual might appreciate them for the way they encourage us to forgo all but the most necessary worldly possessions.

In some cases, like with the story of Jenna and Guillaume, these tiny houses can even be pulled across the country on wheels!

Just think how noisy it'd be astyy6yfrom being right next to the highway. But, at least it's a place for one to lay his/her head.

the only downside of it will be living so close to a highway, otherwise I'll do it

i doubt any state would pay for those types of finishes, but cool idea otherwise.

This isn't for the homeless. It's for the dude with 75k who wants to live in a billboard house by the interstate.

Despite the title sounding like an eco horror movie, this house would be a cute site for transient campers.

This is an art car at Burning Man, not a tiny home. Still cool, but not habitable.

Many of these have no bathroom and are not proper houses. Loads of tiny houses are fully equipped but you missed many brilliant ones.
