tiny living

Small-space lifestyle choice

Tiny living is a lifestyle centered on occupying a very small dwelling—typically under 400 square feet—often a tiny house on wheels, converted van, or compact apartment.

The movement emphasizes minimalism, reduced environmental footprint, and freedom from mortgage debt: They sold everything and embraced tiny living.

Sometimes called the tiny house movement.
