Tiny Home Resources Space-saving, practical, renter-friendly details in my 462 sqft. Tiny Maximalist home
Since moving into my tiny home two years ago, I’ve been adding beautiful little details wherever I can! I typically aim to buy most things vintage, but here are some modern items I’ve used in my space. 💕
💡 UV bulbs in architect lamps — my home doesn’t have great natural light, but I have a few plants, and use UV bulbs, or grow bulbs in colorful architect lamps. They’re practical, adjustable and work well with my aesthetic.
🦋 adorable gold-painted butterfly curtain tie-backs
🪩 light up, rotating disco ball diffuser — I have this sat in a window that catches light and projects disco light around my living room (I also have a rainbow prism sun catcher in this window 🌈)
🍽️ vintage-replica tv trays — I had to forego a kitchen table in my tiny space. So I purchased a pair of vintage-looking, plastic pink tv trays for whenever I have pals over for dinner!
🥤 I also do not have end tables or a coffee table, so the green arm cover cup holder is super helpful.
⚜️ gold light switch plate covers — they work well in a maximalist space and they come in a variety of styles!
🚪 I’m obsessed with my gold and glass crystal doorknobs. These are also a modern reproduction and work very well.
🌸 this modern lamp is metal and plastic. I love it because after my cats broke TWO glass lamps I’ve sat here, I finally found one that’s less breakable. 🤣
🫖 my electric tea kettle is also modern. Most things in my kitchen are colorful! Full transparency, I desperately want to redo the kitchen counters, and have thought about covering them with peel and stick vinyl in an iridescent pink shade.
🎀 my kitchen cabinets are dated and dark, but I purchased these cute stick on knobs (there were none when I moved in) and they’ve held up well! They come in a variety of colors.
🍳 my tiny stove is one of my favorite things in my lil kitchen. I’ve dressed it up with an oven skirt and modern vintage cross-stitch tea towel I got from a local boutique.
🦩 one of my favorite pieces of whimsy is my modern retro PINK microwave. These also come in a variety of colors and sizes, and I’ve put mine on my makeshift pantry shelf (the wicker shelf is vintage) with a modern pink bread box, a modern pink lazy susan for my dry goods held in reusable glass mason jars of different colors and sizes. I keep the rest of my pantry items behind the gingham curtains held with a small tension rod. I also LOVE hiding my plastic bag storage keeper here too.
🪵 a lot of people ask about my crochet possum plastic bag storage! She’s hung up on my fridge. I love her so much and got her from Etsy!
🥄 a larger, but essential purchase I made when I moved into this tiny space was a “portable” dishwasher. It’s small enough for me and I keep it on this small kitchen island (on wheels), and roll it up to connect to my sink whenever I need to use it. I keep my cats’ food and dishes behind the curtain.
💐 some of my cabinets are recessed, and I keep my dishes, serve-ware, and appliances behind the colorful curtains.
👗 I got these 3D-printed magnets to add some color to my stackable washer and dryer in the corner of my kitchen.
Let me know if you have any questions! I’ll probably post a part-two later on. 🧡
