What if living in a home under 900 sq. ft. was the key to more freedom. Tiny houses are capturing the hearts of more and more people who dream of simplicity, freedom, and intentional living. Far from being just a Pinterest trend, this movement represents a real lifestyle philosophy: owning less to enjoy more.
Why are so many people choosing to live small?
A truly affordable solution
With real estate prices continuing to rise, tiny houses offer a much more accessible path to homeownership:
- Little or no mortgage
- Easier self-build options
- Significantly lower energy and maintenance costs compared to a traditional home

Less cleaning, more living
A smaller space means fewer chores and more time for what really matters. One quick sweep, a few wipes, and you’re done!
- Save time every day
- Avoid unnecessary clutter
- Minimal exterior upkeep (especially on a small rental or wooded lot)
A more sustainable lifestyle
Choosing a tiny house is often a step toward a more eco-friendly way of living. Their compact size means fewer building materials are needed, and you can opt for local or recycled resources.
A tiny home also requires much less energy for heating and cooling, helping to reduce your carbon footprint. Beyond energy efficiency, this lifestyle encourages more conscious consumption and a return to the essentials.
What does a well-designed tiny house look like?
At Dessins Drummond, many of our small homes and cabins are inspired by the tiny living mindset. They’re compact, yes, but never at the expense of comfort, brightness, or style.
- Open-concept layouts that make every square foot count
- Smart storage solutions built into stairs, walls, and benches
- High ceilings and large windows to avoid feeling closed in
- Flexible floor plans that adapt to your lifestyle: home office, guest corner, loft…
Is tiny living right for you?
It’s not for everyone, but if you’re looking for:
- A simpler, less stressful life
- A budget-friendly alternative without sacrificing comfort
- A more minimalist and eco-conscious lifestyle
- Or just an inspiring project for a cabin or secondary home…
Then maybe it’s the perfect time to think smaller… and dream bigger.
