Tiny houses lessen your environmental impact. You can use recycled or salvaged materials to build your tiny house. You can opt for solar or wind resources to power your house. The energy needs of tiny spaces are much smaller than the energy needs of a traditional home.

Tiny spaces force you to declutter your life. They make you re-evaluate what’s really important to you. Do you really need all of these material possessions to be happy? You start to think about only keeping the meaningful and necessary things.

You can travel while living in a tiny house. Just hitch it to a truck and drive it to places you’d like to go. Depending on how your tiny house is built, you can either choose to live off-the-grid (think solar or wind power) or park your house in dedicated plots of land or RV/mobile home parking where there are power and water hookups.

You can spend less time cleaning/tidying.
