6 Layout Features We Love In Our Smaller Home (And 1 You Might Not)
Since downsizing to our 1400 square foot house three and a half years ago (as a refresher, our previous house was more than twice as large – clocking in at 3150 square feet), you’ve probably heard us proclaim that smart storage is key. It certainly makes living in a smaller home a lot more sustainable and enjoyable, but there are also specific layout features of our house that make sharing less square footage go a lot more smoothly for us.
So whether you’re thinking of downsizing, considering a new home with any of these layout details, building a new home, or are just curious about what some of our favorite “living-larger-in-a-smaller-home” features are, we’ve put together the following list. Plus, we’re ending with one caveat that’s definitely smart to consider if you’re contemplating any layout decisions or changes.
#1: Separation Between Bedrooms
This feature is #1 on our list for a reason, and after living this way I think it would actually be difficult for us to go back to a layout without this feature.
