Living in a small house has become some what of a trend these days. Nevertheless, i still believe that most people, when asked, will prefer a large house over a small one.
It probably goes back to the primitive notion of “…I have more space” or “my house is bigger than yours therefore I am richer, more successful, powerful, blah, blah blah”.
Nowadays, people who are living in a small house can be divided into two groups; the ones who like living small and understand the huge benefits that come with a small house and the ones who didn’t really have a choice in the first place, most likely because of financial reasons.
Anyway, I have become very interested in the small house movement and the principals it stand for and I truly believe that the next trend is already here and it’s called Small House Living.
In my next post I will attempt to show you why living in a small house is so much better than a large one – maybe then people will understand the full impact of living small. Stay tuned for my next post about Small House Living.

I know, small house plans are tricky.
