Just because you want to live in a tiny house doesn’t mean you need to give up your dreams of a luxurious lifestyle. In fact, living in a smaller space often gives you more freedom to invest in high-quality, designer solutions, allowing you to live big in the ways that matter. To help you imagine all the ways you might upgrade your tiny home, here are a few incredible designer fixtures that will elevate your style without impeding your space.
Alape Washbasin
Alape offers some of the sleekest and simplest sinks, many of which fit perfectly into any modern bathroom design. The Folio series is incredible for a tiny home, as its exact and minimal geometry could squeeze into any tiny bathroom corner. Though the washbasin looks like typical porcelain, it is actually a wafer-thin sheet of steel, keeping the sink lightweight. Some Folio sinks have extra storage beneath the basin, further increasing their appeal in storage-hungry tiny homes.
Duravit Toilet
A smart way to save space in tiny home bathrooms is to install a wall-hung toilet. The compact version of Duravit’s Starck Toilet demands even less square footage, so you can utilize bathroom space for other important components, like a spacious shower or storage. The Duravit toilet is streamlined in design, looking almost like a simple white pedestal, but it boasts dual-flush functionality to improve the efficiency of water use in the home. There is also a matching Starck bidet, if you have the space and interest.
Kartell Rails and Shelves
For more than 60 years, Italian brand Kartell has innovated with plastic materials to elevate interior design. Now, working with bathroom design leaders at Laufen, Kartell offers some incredibly modern and intriguing acrylic rails and shelves. These open storage solutions keep essential tools and products handy anywhere in your tiny home, not just in the bathroom. You might use these rails and shelves as bedside tables, kitchen organization stations, catchalls at the front door and more.
Hunter Small Fan
Efficiency is key in tiny homes, and fixtures like ceiling fans can further reduce energy expenditure while maintaining comfort. Hunter’s small ceiling fans improve air flow in smaller rooms, helping to redistribute warm air in the winter and reduce the temperature by up to four degrees in the summer. With their shorter blade length and low profile, these fans will stay out of your way, but their sleek and minimalist look allows them to elevate the style of any room where you need better circulation.
Galley Workstation
Tiny homes have tiny kitchens, which can make creating an elaborate meal a difficult endeavor. To give yourself more workspace in the kitchen, you might take advantage of the Galley Workstation, which is so much more than a sink. Rimmed and equipped with many different types of inserts, the workstation doubles as a drying rack, a cutting board, a colander, an ice bath and more. The workstation is an excellent addition to any home, but it is all but essential in a tiny kitchen focused on attractive and functional design.
Watermark Faucet
Typically, faucets don’t demand an exceeding amount of space, but tiny home dwellers might appreciate a faucet that enhances their minimalist design. The Elements Wall-mounted Faucet from Watermark is simple and sleek, to match other high-design components of your tiny space, but it is remarkably customizable, in that you can choose the finishes of the faucet and handle from more than 21 options. The wall mount saves you a small amount of space, but more importantly, it allows you to draw attention to the incredible style of your bespoke designer faucet.
Buster + Punch Switches
Like the faucet, the switches that control the lights and outlets around your tiny home likely are not your main focus in design or space optimization — but that doesn’t mean you can ignore the incredible look and feel of these dimmers and toggle switches from Buster + Punch. Made of solid metal in a style that mixes steampunk with rock and roll, these switches could easily become focal points in your tiny spaces, so they are details worth splurging on.
Living in a tiny home, you need to think about every detail of your space. Fortunately, designers are stepping up to elevate small, efficient fixtures so that tiny home dwellers can live in beautiful luxury.
