The Doors That Outshine the Storage in November's Best Tiny Homes
A bedroom door can matter more than another clever storage compartment. So can a dining table that stays put, a bathroom you don't have to fold yourself into. The five tiny homes we found this month understand that. One of them has a door so satisfying it nearly steals the show from the square footage, and that's the point. We're tired of tiny homes that treat every surface as a hiding spot for a collapsible thing. Sometimes you want a hinge that feels good. A room that doesn't ask you to perform a choreography just to sit down. If you liked watching the Raven Prism Glasses squirt Linux into your peripheral vision for the sheer audacity of the idea, you'll appreciate the same energy here: small spaces refusing to apologize for being small.
Lavvu Stuff a Full Bathtub Into Their Tiny Home XL
A full-size bathtub is a wonderfully stubborn thing to put inside a tiny home. Lavvu includes one in its published XL specification, despite having only so many square meters to play with. This is not a fold-down shower pan or a wet-room compromise. It is a proper, deep tub, and Lavvu has buried clever storage throughout the rest of the build to earn the space back. That kind of trade-off is exactly what makes a tiny home interesting, not just shrinking everything, but deciding what absolutely must stay full-sized. The XL is still small enough to tow, but it refuses to pretend you don't want a long soak after a long day. If you liked how the Helena tiny house refused to fold up small, you will understand exactly why Lavvu made this choice.
