Tiny Houses That’ll Put Your Share House ‘Storage Problems’ To Shame

PEDESTRIAN.TV has partnered with Nespresso to celebrate small things that have big impact. In an ode to ‘it’s not about how big it is, it’s how you use it!’ (*winks seductively*), they’ve just released their tiniest machine yet – the Essenza Mini. Offering uncompromised quality, it is the perfect solution for coffee lovers looking to save on prime kitchen bench real estate. Learn more about Nespresso’s Essenza Mini machine


Tiny homes are the smaller-than-average specimens of the real estate industry, categorically proving that it’s not how big it is, it’s how you use it. We can whinge and moan about our small shoebox pads til’ the cows come home but when you really put your mind to it, you really can make big use of a small space.

Prep your pits, below is tiny house porn at its finest, which will make you tingly all the while being grateful for the estate hand you’ve been dealt.

TEENY HOUSE #1: COUNTRY CHIC

A little fold-out outdoor area? That’s a sure-fire way to create more space, innit. Make sure your rental’s backyard is as utilisable as the inside living areas and you won’t feel too strapped for space.

The addition of greenery brings life to any small space, this is proof. If you have room for 10+ plants, you’ll bet you have room to, you know, exist as well. Plus they’re just darn nice to look at.

The higher the bed, the closer to bloody aesthetic heaven. Obviously you can’t just whip up a platform in your existing rental, but by spreading out your lighting it can make the space appear bigger than it actually is. Epic natural light helps, too.

I’d willingly hit my head for a room as CHIC as this. Makes you think about all the room you have above your own bed that can be well-utilised, really, doesn’t it?

TEENY HOUSE #2: RUSTIC RETREAT

I am shooketh.

I’ll cop the splinters, seriously. Candlelight is a sure-fire way to add a little ~ambience~ to your abode. People who associate “cosy” with something that’s small don’t know what they’re talking about.

Does this farmer want a wife? I’ll wife you. Here’s some proof that tonal furniture, walls and floors do wonders for small spaces, no matter how much you’ve got packing them out.

TEENY HOUSE #3: THAT OLD CHESTNUT

NICE. UNUSUAL. DIFFERENT. I LIKE IT.

Lesson learned here? Sometimes mixing and matching just ~works~. Don’t overdo it though. Looking like you just vomited a garage sale into your space won’t do anything to make it look bigger. Keep it minimal.

TEENY HOUSE #4: WOODEN WONDERLAND

Here’s some morning wood I could deal with.

I spy a fold-out table. Clever. I reckon there’s storage in that couch. Clever. Dual-purpose furniture and storage solutions is what this rental life is all about, peeps.

Stairway to shut-eye heaven, AMIRITE? Again, matching your furniture to the colours of your home do wonders to make the space look bigger than what is actually is.

TEENY HOUSE #5: TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL

More windows = more natural light. More natural light = spatial illusion. As you may have guessed, windows also help you see the outside and hence, less closed in. Make sure you’re pulling up all the blinds in your own space, yeah? Makes a quick and big difference.

Reckon you don’t have a study area at home? Think again. If this bubby house can make one out of this lil’ nook then my god, so can you.

Why have a double bed when you can have two singles? The perfect reminder to be practical when it comes to your own home.

There’s just something really freaking cute about miniature things.

If you’re feeling inspired to be more efficient with your space, get around the new Nespresso Essenza Mini machine – it’s perfect for coffee lovers who don’t want a bulky machine taking up their bench space, while also being easy to use, minimalist, chic, modern and convenient – all without sacrificing that premium coffee taste.
