Finding Your Center in Small Spaces

We all have those little rituals that help us start our day right. For author Laura LaVoie, it’s something wonderfully simple: her morning cup of tea. There’s something beautiful about finding peace in such a small moment, especially when you’re living in a small space where every detail matters.

This connects to what minimalist Joshua Becker has been exploring, the idea that our best life might really be about living with intention. That could answer one of the biggest questions in tiny house living: “How do you know if this lifestyle is right for you?” Maybe it’s simpler than we think. If you can focus on what truly matters, the size of your space becomes less important than how you use it.

Speaking of evolving needs, we’re seeing more longtime tiny housers explore small, modular homes as they age. Their needs change, but their love for simple, intentional living doesn’t.

That’s why we’re excited to feature Casa del Comfort this month. It’s a lovely example of how the movement is growing up with its community—keeping the heart of tiny living while adapting to different life stages.

Whether you’re sipping morning tea in 200 square feet or 500, the essence remains the same: making space for what matters most.
