Text 1
After our children had left home for good, my
husband and I came to the conclusion that we really
needed to find ourselves a smaller house. Our house
had far too many rooms, which meant constant
cleaning, and it was over a hundred years old, so
problems were constantly coming up. After
watching a couple of TV shows and doing a bit of
research online, we decided that a tiny, in other
words very small, home was the right solution for
us. We didn’t need to keep all of the things we had,
and a tiny home on wheels would give us the
opportunity to move it wherever we fancied.
Instead of immediately putting our old house up for
sale, however, my husband – who is down-to-earth
and practical – suggested renting a tiny home in a
holiday spot for a week. All I can do is thank our
lucky stars that he had this idea before we had made
any final decisions.

The tiny home seemed perfect during the daylight
hours. It had a lovely seating area, a perfectly usable
kitchen, and the bathroom – though extremely small
by anyone’s standards – was certainly adequate to
our needs. But when it was time to go to sleep, it
was a different story. The bed was in a tiny space
under the roof, and once I’d managed to get up
there, I felt as if I’d put myself into a drawer for the
night! The area was certainly wide enough, but it
was so shallow that sitting up even halfway was a
challenge for me. And for my husband, who is nearly
two metres tall, it was pretty much life-threatening.
We did manage to sleep a little, but I kept hearing a
bang, followed by a loud ‘Ouch!’ and knew that my
husband would be covered in bruises in the
morning.
We survived three days in the tiny house before
giving up. We are still talking about downsizing, and
it’s possible that there is a tiny home designed for a
semi-giant and his claustrophobic partner. I rather
think, though, that we will look for a smaller but
more traditional place. Our children, who were
excited at the beginning, have expressed some
disappointment. But when I pointed out that they
may need a place for an extended stay in the future,
they changed their minds and congratulated us on
going a more traditional route.
Text 2
There are a number of reasons which influence the
choice to move into a tiny home. The fact is, though,
that the number of people doing so is increasing
quickly. A study of people who have an interest in
tiny living showed that 20% of them are already
living tiny, while a large majority are planning to
make the change as soon as they can. The
percentage of people actually living in tiny houses is
still small when compared to the general population,
but it is definitely a growing trend and may continue
to be so.
Why are so many making the change? For one thing,
people feel that their houses are too large, that they
have too many things, and that going tiny will help
them simplify their lives and give them more free
time. The environment is another major factor. As
one expert says, ‘Living tiny reduces the harm you
do to the environment enormously. You use far
fewer building materials, a lot less energy for
heating and lighting, and you simply take up less
space in our increasingly crowded environment.’

chance to try it out before deciding, by renting a tiny
home for a short period for example, that is
definitely the best way to go.
