Claustrophobic feeling
Every owner of a tiny house tries to arrange such a space as conveniently as possible. Some therefore choose to create a second living level, where the bed, for example, can be placed. Efficient it certainly is, but it is not for everyone. That second layer is often used for a bed, but then there is not much space. Thus, you may often have to crawl into the bed to get in and out.
Making the bed
Speaking of the bed, making a bed isn’t helpful either if you can’t stand in your “bedroom. YouTuber Jenna Spesard talked about it in a video she recorded in 2013. “I feel like I’m performing acrobatic skills when I want to put the sheets down correctly on my bed,” she said.
Many things turn out not to fit
When you first move into a tiny house, you often have no idea what will actually fit inside. This was also Elizabeth Silva’s experience. She had a lot of trouble with this when she just moved into her tiny house. “You don’t know what will fit in it when you are just moving in,” she says about it.
The sinks are extremely small
Tiny houses come standard with a sink, but don’t expect too much. The sinks are incredibly small. You can wash your hands in them, but that’s about it.
Extensive cooking is not in the cards
A tiny house is smaller than a normal house, so it is not surprising that a kitchen is also smaller than a normal kitchen. Many tiny houses are therefore equipped with only two gas stoves. This often makes it more difficult to cook elaborate meals.
Grocery shopping more often
Storage spaces and the refrigerator are also a lot smaller in a tiny house. So you can store less products, so you will have to shop more often. In addition, it is also wise not to cook meals that are too large, because you cannot store many leftovers in a small refrigerator.
‘Special’ layout
A bed, a toilet, a shower, a kitchen, a refrigerator, storage space. It all just has to fit in a tiny house. And the most efficient layout, is not always the nicest layout. For example, your bed may be next to the refrigerator. Or worse: next to the toilet.
You have to do your laundry somewhere else
In most tiny houses, there is no room for a washing machine, let alone a dryer. So residents of these tiny houses will always have to seek out a laundromat if they want to wash their clothes.
Parking
As we just mentioned, most tiny houses have a permanent pitch. However, some people decide they want a nomadic existence. They convert a bus into a tiny house and drive around different countries. Somehow it is very convenient, you always have your home and belongings with you. But one thing should not be forgotten: you have to be able to stop somewhere. People with such vans report that they do not always find it easy to find a place to park.
