In this post we look at how this trend will change a person’s outlook on life, and how it could it could be beneficial to improving their sleeping habits. A tiny home is not a compromise on building standards.

Live Science notes that you can improve your mood and your body-clock when you’re more regularly exposed to natural light.

Blush Your Bedroom Color can not only make a space seem bigger, but it can also make you sleep better. To facilitate rest and help create routine, choosing the right bedroom wall colors may make a huge difference. A blog post from Leesa suggests that “spa-like blues” and “greens-inspired by nature” with accompanying accents of gray and even neutral tans are the best colors to creating a sleep-inducing environment. This is a perfect fit for tiny homes that are nestled away in the middle of nowhere and want a color scheme that corresponds with earthy tones.

Shell Update!
Just put the finishing touches on this beautiful shell for our customer Erik! Erik brought MTL in to do the heavy lifting on his tiny home shell, and now he can finish up the interior on his own (with a roof over his head!) 😎 Shells are a great way for tiny house enthusiasts to get a little help with some of the most cumbersome work, and at a much lower cost than a fully completed home. For those that are handy and want to DIY, a shell is a great solution to get the ball rolling! Progress Pic: Patrick's Tiny House on Wheels!
Patrick picked up a perfect shell from Modern Tiny Living a few months ago, and we wanted to share a photo of his progress on the interior he is building himself! Looks great Patrick! Like we mentioned yesterday, having a robust and sturdy shell built by MTL is a great option for people that may not have the space, conditions, tools or machinery needed to tackle the job themselves. The foundation of the tiny house movement is fueled by the DIY builder, and we are thrilled to help those ambitious enough to tackle a tiny house in any way we can. That said, there is no shame in having a builder do the entire project for you! A tiny house DIY build should only be tackled by someone who is well-versed in construction, architecture, plumbing, electric, and design. We've seen countless DIY projects fall apart, or get abandoned, when the individual realizes that the project can easily take hundreds of hours (even for an experienced and qualified craftsman), and that building a truly roadworthy home takes careful planning and meticulous execution. Whatever you choose to do, be sure to think it through before you commit - whether you want to build the whole thing yourself, pick up a shell and finish the interior, or have a builder help you make your design and dream a reality. Keep up with our current builds by following us on Facebook! Modern Tiny Living is proud to announce that we have been featured in an extensive article on MobileRVing.com, an extremely popular RV publication that is dipping its toes into the Tiny House niche! Dan did a great job on his interview, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to promote Modern Tiny Living and the tiny house movement to this network!
