The neighbors laughed at my husband and me when we just started building a house from scratch with only the materials we had at hand!😜🥱 However, we made them want their words back once we showed the final results!😉👌 Those who mocked us now dream of living in the comfy house that we made!😍😮 Let’s have a look inside in this article!👇
My husband and I recently finished building a compact yet incredibly cozy 18-square-meter home, and we’d love to hear your thoughts! Here’s the story of how we turned a small space into a welcoming, all-season retreat.
From the outside, the house has a charming studio vibe that blends seamlessly with the surroundings. A small patio extends from the entrance, with a deck, greenery, and garden paths that add warmth and character.
This tiny home, though modest, is fully equipped to be a comfortable year-round living space. We typically use it as a guest house since our main home is nearby, but it could easily serve as a full-time residence or a relaxing vacation getaway.
Inside, the open layout combines a kitchen, bedroom, and living area into one functional space. We put great thought into the design, ensuring each item—shelving, rugs, coat racks—serves both style and function. Even with limited square footage, it feels open and organized, with all essentials neatly in place.
Despite its size, the house has everything needed for a comfortable stay: a kitchenette, bathroom, sleeping nook, and even a cozy corner for reading or watching TV. Every detail is thoughtfully planned for maximum functionality.
One of the unique features is its insulation. Built with the “thermos” principle, the walls are 25 cm thick with excellent insulation, and the underfloor heating keeps it warm and inviting even on cold winter days.
The bathroom includes a shower and toilet, decorated with care to match the overall aesthetic, and the kitchen area is fitted with electric heating. We even reused lighting fixtures from the dismantled old house, adding a nostalgic charm to the space.
So, what do you think? Does this little home show that even the smallest spaces can feel complete, cozy, and inviting?
