Thoughtful Tiny Home Decorating Ideas

Decorating a tiny house can be particularly challenging when you have so little to work with. You cannot designate a wall for your favorite paintings or install a hefty décor piece in your living room. However, there are many ways to make creative usage of space without making your tiny home look like a cluttered space full of this and that.

If you are entirely blank about how or where to start with the transformation of your tiny house into an aesthetic place, you can start off by looking into some Pinterest decoration ideas for inspiration. This will help you visualize what your small home should look like post decoration and what different ideas you can play around with depending on the built and make-up of your tiny house. Next, take a look at the versatile and thoughtful tiny home decorating ideas that we have compiled for you to finally get working.

1. Go green with some plants

While with a tiny home, the idea is to spend more time outdoors (preferably in the green), there is no denying that indoor plants can boost both emotional and mental health positively. Thankfully, indoor plants make great décor pieces, and most are small enough to fit in your tiny house.

There are several ways you can incorporate these, even in small spaces, with tiny indoor hanging plants being an excellent option. You can hang them from your ceiling, which is usually the least utilized space in a tiny home. If feeling slightly ambitious – you can even grow a small herb garden by yourself!

2. Get experimental with colors and patterns

Many times, decorating a house does not necessarily mean ‘adding more items to it’ – you can always play smart by carefully choosing the furniture and colors of existing material in your tiny house. While this may require some prior planning, it will give you much more control over how your tiny home looks.

Whether it’s adding an unexpected tile in your shower or designing a bright accent wall in your living room, the possibilities to mix and contrast colors and patterns are endless. A door matching the pattern of a nearby wall hanging or a rug contrasting the color of your cubbies are all ways to make creative usage of space.

3. Choose a theme and work around it

If you do not want to experiment with a bunch of different styles, selecting a single theme is another excellent idea to decorate your tiny home. This will help you in choosing any décor pieces, colors, and even style of your furniture. The best way to funnel down from a myriad of options is to think about what will make you happy and what you want to surround yourself with.

So, for example, if you want to for beachy-vibes – you can incorporate natural tans and blues of the coastline for your walls and furniture. You can add seashells to your corner shelves, sandy rug on the floor, and beach-patterned fabric for your curtains.

4. Choose versatile pieces

Using versatile pieces that have dual or multipurpose functionality is an excellent form of creative usage of space. An excellent décor idea for this can be wall art or tapestries that have designs on each side. This offers a convenient way of changing your décor by flipping it over to welcome a new season or for a special occasion. With this idea, you get to save both money and space.

Similarly, you can also opt for multipurpose furniture as with tiny houses; the idea is to do more with less. Hideaway desks, coffee tables that can be doubled as an Ottoman, or even couches that fold into beds -are all aesthetic pieces of furniture to accessorize your tiny house with.

5. Play with lighting

Lighting is an extremely important factor in a tiny house that already has limited windows and light inlets. So, you want to carefully plan everything else to play creatively with lighting around the house. The way natural light decorates a home and makes it look roomier cannot be matched with any other décor idea. You want to make sure that there is no furniture in the way of your windows.

Use muted backgrounds to accentuate the pop of colors in your tiny house with natural lighting. You can even pre-plan to have sandy or white walls and soft textiles around the house to fully leverage sunlight’s brightening effect. Even with artificial lighting, your options are endless. A great idea to decorate your tiny home can be to use LED strip lighting on the steps of your stairs or around your bedroom ceiling.

Alternatively, you can go all out and hang a chandelier in your living room on its ceiling. A mid-century modern lamp can also be an aesthetic addition to your reading corner for warm and cozy vibes. The main idea is that experimenting with different types of lighting can be a great way to decorate your tiny home.
