100 Square Foot Tiny Home Tour (+ cost breakdown)

[@sarahbrewer8945]

If you ever upgrade the tiny house you could buy a toilet which has a small basin built in on top of the flush system. That way no need to use the kitchen sink after toilet use and therefore more hygienic.

[@8jaime8]

Yes! Those are common in Japan and such a great idea. They save water, too.

[@iananslow494]

They are awful

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Can’t say the idea of washing my hands on top of the toilet excites me. You would definitely want to close the lid on the commode when you flush. Microscopic droplets can fly when you flush and easily land in and around the sink. ICK!!! It’s not a surprise to hear people end up with E. Coli in their system and wonder why. Sanitary would be washing your hands in the kitchen although barely . Raw chicken rinsed in the sink is an invitation for Salmonella germs to be on hard surfaces. Just keeps getting better and better!!

[@claudiakarl7888]

@@user-vm5ud4xw6nNo reason you can’t close the lid. The basin is on top of the cistern

[@GenXWitch67]

This is exactly what I thought

[@jmmyt3]

For the kitchen have you considered a mini convection oven? They do toasting, baking, air frying, and much more and are small enough to fit almost anywhere!

[@SkyeID]

that is a smart idea. I was thinking about solutions to the lack of stove. I thought toaster oven ( if that's a thing in the U.K.) but convection is better.

[@FinishTheRaceVL7]

Great idea!

[@Jezebellum-l2u]

I have one - enabled me to get rid of the air fryer and toaster. It grills, toasts, warms, bakes, air fries, roasts etc. Brilliant gizmos. PS - only a guy would get a TV screen that big in a room that small smh ...

[@judithalberici9137]

I’ve now good rid of my big old oven - a microwave, air fryer, small worktop oven works for us two.

[@julierahn6932]

YES. Breville (air fryer) toaster oven has top Consumer Reports' ratings.

[@tiffanytorres6353]

An air fryer microwave combo would be perfect. I would want a slightly larger fridge, one with a freezer.

[@devenscience8894]

Yeah, my number one recommend for upgrade would be a larger fridge/freezer. That is just too small. Find one that goes all the way up to the counter.

[@deedrole5296]

I don't have stove/oven I was just using an instantpot brand airfryer which works wonderfully for most things except toast. I caved and bought a cheap toaster as well

[@SciFiFemale]

I was just going to say an air fryer microwave combo would have been my choice.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Agree! The combo and a freezer would be _great!_

[@kev845]

I WOULD GO OUT OF MY MIND LIVING IN THAT TO TINY NICE IF YOU COULD PUT UP WITH THE SIZE YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB

[@mickimc2883]

I think the dark blue is stunning! I don't think it makes the space feel small at all! Great layout too!

[@inolagranville7832]

Personally, I think you need a bigger sink because there’s nothing worse than trying to wash dishes in a little tiny sink. Trust me I’ve done both in the normal size sink versus a tiny one and the normal size ones out each and every time because when you have a Lotta dishes, you need space to get them clean and put away.

[@Grzegorz_Grabowski]

No. He needs dishwasher. I don't get how people get by without such a crucial household appliance.

You could get an insert cover for the sink so when you're not using the sink there is more benchtop.

[@kmrazSilverSimmer73]

Agree! That shade of blue is lovely.

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

I think a toaster over, convention oven, air fryer combo would be a much better useful utensil then the microwave. You can heat up anything in a convection over @ 400 degrees for 20 mins and it comes out perfect every time using foil over the food, or if you need it crispy, don't tuck the foil, just lay it on top. My personal preference.

[@lisabaltzer4190]

I use my toaster oven all the time, even more than my microwave.

[@Nanno00]

I think you did a GREAT job! You fit a lot of house into a tiny footprint. The dark blue wall is really nice, the bright yellow serves to make it not cave-like.

[@adelia988]

If you got rid of the toaster and bought a toaster over that would be of more use to you. Also you could buy a long stool or make to use in day with a high sided tray and put your feet on when sofa is a bed.

[@jaynewallace-bohannon6317]

I don’t have a microwave oven, but I did invest in a nice toaster oven. You get used to heating up items in a toaster oven or sauce pot. Easy peasy

You did a great job. As a single homeowner I find my small oven air fryer, microwave, and plug in electric skillet are all I need to cook. Once my stove top and my oven broke down in my old 1960’s home I just bought cooking appliances. Once I get my kitchen renovated I know I’m going to have to put a full oven in to sell my home. I know I will not be using it because those three appliances work perfectly for my needs.

[@muttley7875]

Well done, you’ve made a great job of your little house. 👌 An Air Fryer would be perfect for the Kitchen.

[@janeclarkson8471]

I watched your previous programme and am so pleased to see the results now. 😊. I would like a a slightly larger fridge with a small freezer. You could have an extra shelf for your toaster etc. The blue wall is gorgeous. It's in an open space and gives a zonal feel. With the yellow furnishings it gives a modern but cozy feel. I love "bold". This really makes you choose what is essential and what you can live without! I do like the layout and especially a proper entrance area for shoes, a coat an umbrella! The coir carpet. I WOULD miss a washing machine/dryer and if it were my tiny home, I’d have an idea. That's a pipe dream though. This is a grand design on a small scale. Love it. Congratulations 👌❤️👌

[@drwoo6090]

You could buy a countertop dishwasher, and store it in a cupboard. There are some really small dishwashers and quite cheap. I bought my niece one, when hers packed in. And, it was perfectly adequate for 2 adults and a newborn baby. I love the blue and gold. 😊

[@dorisrosa62]

It’s very cute for a single person that wouldn’t get claustrophobic for being in a small place.

[@joshlovingoutdoors4455]

Amazing garage to tiny house conversion, love it! One thing I would have to have a fixed bed situation!

[@irenedavo3768]

Is it a Shed?

[@rachelrobinson3746]

I love it! I would need a much deeper sink, though. I do love the blue paint and the style of the whole place. It is lovely.

[@hamburgveganc6284]

I have an airfryer for 2-3 years now. It was the BEST investment EVER! Especially for heating up left overs…almost no risk of burning or drowning in oil (which happened quite some time in a pan) and also a MUCH better result than in a microwave (crispy, hot, not slurry). So yes- it would be a real update! ,-).

[@bigreddallas2742]

Great little design. IMO the blue walls are lovely, especially with the yellow couch!!

[@jinli4787]

I'm a female software developer. I love the blue colour, it actually make the room looks bigger. I think when the wall is dark, you don't notice the boundaries of the space as much.

[@ChrisW228]

I was gifted a toaster oven that is also a convection oven and air fryer for Christmas. We hardly use our traditional oven anymore, since it’s so much faster to use the new one. It would be plenty for a small space, and only takes up the space of a large toaster oven/medium microwave.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Kitchen upgrade: You could easily get an oven/air fryer - microwave combination! That way you had four appliances at once.. (Microwave, oven, air fryer & toaster.) Also I suggest a bigger fridge (with freezer) and drawers for the lower compartments of the cabinet and maybe even some bins or baskets for the upper compartments. It's much easier to store and access stuff in some sort of pull out system.. Nice house you created there! I like everything about it! ❤ The kitchen with the white boards is spacious & practical but still cozy & fun! The office/desk, the living room with the folding bed and the rotating tv, the entrance with it's rustic yet warm/cozy sisal flooring.. Everything really! You could even rent out both and store your stuff in some storage space. That way you could make even more money. A whole livable house/home just for storing items is unnecessary waste in some way.. 😊

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

You did a fantastic job! Perfect use for this space - love the design, layout and the colors.

[@ksu2217]

Basic and excellent organization of space. The only thing I would adjust is to move the entrance door opening into the kitchen area, open up the shoe rack wall with a window on top

[@elle-vk4js]

Your tiny build is really nice, and given what it adds in value ot the property and utility, this was done well. An air fryer microwave combo and a toilet+sink basin combo would just elevate the space. Oh and a sofa bed that's just a tad longer so your calves have a rest too at night.

[@lorrainefrasier4096]

Great little place! I have an air fryer that has settings to roast,reheat, bake, air fry, dehydrate and can be used as a rotisserie. That would expand cooking food in a small space.

[@judyross182]

A longer bed for your long legs. A bigger fridge with a freezer. An air fryer or an Instant Pot with an air fryer would be upgrades you might like. A bigger sink in the kitchen, but I wouldn't bother with a sink over the toilet. This was very helpful. I'm moving from a 2500 sq. ft. house into a Tiny Home/Destination Trailer that is 399 sq. ft. If you can live in 100 sq. ft. I can live in my new tiny space. You did a nice job and it's well thought out. I noticed that the water sources are back to back to minimize plumbing. Smart.

[@terkfranks1538]

(Ninja) Toaster oven would fit perfect under that stovetop. I would also want a murphy bed on wall - easy to just pull down and put up. Which would let you use nice chair for desk / living room. Also - maybe have montiors attached to wall where desk could also wheel in and out and used as dining table. You did a great job! 👏 👏 👏

I am planning to demo and rebuild an old metal shed. A 10x10 concrete footprint is already there. This is why I click on your video. You did an incredible job turning it into a livable space. I wish I could do the same but it can’t be a living space per HOA guideline. I’d make it a yoga/workout studio.

[@control4230]

As a project, I admire what you've done with such a small space, it looks to be done to a high standard and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I get the impression that this was built for you and I do hope that is the plan and it's never rented out. Building it for yourself is one thing but the housing situation in this country is getting worse and worse. I can see a future where such small homes are offered at obscene rents to those who are desperate and with no other choice.

[@catherinefromchristchurchn6508]

Happening here now, studio apartments in the central city.

[@thebookishwriter]

He said he was renting the house out and using this for storage. However, even if it were to be rented out, I bet it would be a perfect student rental if priced reasonably.

[@FurnitureFan]

Be fine if reasonably priced - even better if they could use the house washing machine on a couple of evenings and line-dry clothes.

[@karenrichardson8918]

I loooove the blue and yellow! It gives life and cheer to the space. Add a shelf for the microwave just above where it is setting. Or micro convection. I love a toaster oven. Found a child size set of enamel muffin and cake pans for making a quick package of mix. 😋

[@rjoni123]

The tiny home looks great! my biggest gripe would be the tiny fridge. I would have personally installed a microwave with a fan and light above the stove to give you more counter space for something like an air fryer. for it being small and simple and a temporary living quarter while you are renovating it is very well put together! that bed however would not work for me being 6'4

[@ZalvadorZali]

Sky lights might help make it feel roomier. Really cozy space overall! Also, you could expand it a tiny little bit on the end by the couch to create a bay window which adds an extra nook of space to sit and relax, additionally the bottom of the bay window can have a built in shelf for additional storage.

[@Nyctophora]

Fridge freezer for sure. A bigger sink, a normal size one with a section of counter top you can put over it to work, like they use in a caravan. An air fryer would be perfect, given the space and the fact that they can do a lot, even bake!

[@debbiemamatazhtd4lifegimme726]

[@Hashterix]

Very cool. As another space saver (for future projects) I would suggest electric underfloor heating, or a ceiling mounted infrared heating panel. They're very energy efficient and the underfloor or ceiling mount options mean none of the floor space is eaten away. Also you might want to sort your front door out, since it opens at an awkward angle given angle of approach, and as it opens outwards it may be less secure. If you have any loft space, that might also make some useful storage. Also, check out the London Wallbed Company. They're sofa beds, where the bed folds down from the wall over the sofa. Would be the perfect idea for a space like this one.
