Good things come in small packages, right? If you live in a tiny space, chances are you’ve embraced a minimal lifestyle and you’ve come to love your little home. No matter if you live in a studio apartment towering above the city, a tiny house, or a rented room, all these small living areas have their own quirks and charm.
