Tiny Houses That Will Inspire You To Live With Less

These houses come in all shapes, sizes and forms, some are on wheels and some are stationary, but the general idea is the same... minimalist living. People are joining this revolutionary movement for an array of reasons, whether it be environmental concerns, financial concerns or a search for freedom.

Here's some of our favourite tiny homes:

4. House of Windows

Not quite as small as other tiny houses, however this stunning house never shuts off from the sunset. The photographer Nick Olsen and fashion designer Lilah Horwitz built this house from recycled windows in the enchanting mountains of West Virginia.
