Tiny Home Living Room Comfort

THOWs (tiny houses on wheels) are a fine idea. They usually provide an awesome kitchen, adequate bathroom, and prettyStorage bench hides wheels in tiny house nice bedroom. However, most of them really fall short on the living room comfort.

When not cooking, sleeping, or bathing, you will be spending most of your time in the living room. While tiny homes depend on outdoor living spaces to compensate for minimal indoor space, you’re still going to spend most of your waking hours indoors.

Can you imagine spending hours “relaxing” on the typical bench seating shown in most THOWs? I understand that the bench seat is used to hide the wheel well and provide desperately needed storage. They are also fairly easy for the DIYer to construct, and can convert into a spare bed. But for a moment, let’s think seriously about living room comfort.

Try spending two hours on a bench seat

RV Recliner

A typical movie on TV lasts just under two hours. Could you and your significant other be comfortable sitting on a bench seat? Even with a memory foam cushion it would be a stretch for me.

Home is our refuge, our place to relax. At the end of the day, we want to sink into a welcoming piece of furniture. A bench seat makes me feel like I’m waiting for a bus.

RV designers have learned that living room comfort is essential, and tiny home designers should take a lesson. Upper-end RVs usually have a slide-out to increase the width of the living area and keep it from feeling cramped when the foot rest is swung open. Sadly, slide-outs can be problematic, and they add a degree of complexity to the construction of a tiny house.  This might be beyond the skills of most do-it-yourselfers. Putting the recliner on the end of the structure, however, gives you plenty of space to swing up the foot rest, lie back, and watch TV.

 

You do not need to build your own sofa or recliner

You do not have to be put off by thinking you need to build your own comfy seating. The recliner shown here costs under $600.00* (click on image.)  There are lots of sizes, styles, and price points.

There are others ways to have comfy seating. Futons are not too bad, actually. They fold down into a bed, and you don’t have to build them.

 

This will be the most important area of the home. Giving the living room comfort a little extra thought will bring a lot more satisfaction and comfort to living in a tiny home.
