7 tiny home floor plans under 1000 square feet for big families

When space is a priority, it can be tricky to see how tiny living could be possible - especially if you have a large family. It can be done, however, without compromising on the quality of your build or your family way of life.
Think outside the box when it comes to spaces, maximizing family areas and keeping bedrooms as a place to sleep only. Make sure there are a few different places for your family to come together or hang out alone when needed, by adding covered porches, wraparound decks or terraces to the design.
