Small space living – tiny house, big storage
How many things have you accumulated in your house over the years? And, more importantly, how many of those things do you actually need? This question is often the motivation behind adopting a minimalist lifestyle and the reason why many opt for tiny house living. Find out more about this and how self storage can help in this blog.
Our household belongings continue to grow long after we stop growing. How many things have you accumulated in your house over the years? And, more importantly, how many of those things do you actually need? This question is often the motivation behind adopting a minimalist lifestyle and the reason why many opt for tiny house living. Find out more about this and how self storage can help in this blog.
Minimalism
The aim of minimalism is to live with as few belongings possible, i.e. the “minimum”. However, it's not just travellers and solitary forest dwellers that are minimalists. While some minimalists choose to live with only 20 items, others take a slightly different approach to this philosophy. One type of minimalist lifestyle is the “Tiny House” movement.

Tiny-Houses is the leading company in the sector in Spain, committed to its customers' mini-houses or mobile homes projects. After all, finding the ideal place to install your little house is one of the great difficulties along the way. Living in a small space requires a great deal of adaptation.
Tiny house but with possessions
Whatever the reason behind moving into a tiny house, people rarely get rid of all their personal belongings. Hardly anyone wants to part with personal, meaningful mementos such as photos, childhood drawings or your first love letters. The same goes for documents that you must not or should not throw away. There are also a few other items which are not worth getting rid of, e.g. seasonal things.
Seasonal items
Many people don't want to part with, for example, their favorite pair of skis, which have the perfect length for their body. Additionally, keeping the skis allows you to save the annual cost of buying new ones in case you decide to hit the mountains.
The same can be said for camping and fishing gear, surfboards, mountain and road bikes, or rollerblades. Not to mention seasonal clothing: Is your wardrobe filled with winter jackets, scarves, hats, and gloves? You may not need them often when the sun is already warming things up.
For these and other reasons, people living in a tiny house often seek space to store items they don't need out of season. This way, they only keep at home what they truly need.
Self-Storage
From a minimalist viewpoint, it doesn't make sense to have a big living space for things that you only use a couple of months a year. Self storage solves this problem. An external storage unit allows you to safely store your seasonal items as well as documents, family photo albums and childhood memories and still have access them as and when you need.
