When it comes to living in a tiny space, you need the right tools and products without taking up all your storage. Multi-use and storage-friendly items that are high quality are essential and will make tiny living all the more enjoyable.

We’ve outlined our top 7 favorite tools and products that we couldn’t live without in a tiny space. Check them out below!



1. Portable Grill / Stove

When it comes to your cooking set up, it’s not complete without some way to grill. This compact stove and grill make that possible even when on the road. Powered by compact propane bottles this is a great option for grilling on the go!


2. Nutribullet Blender

When it comes to blending, it’s hard to beat a Nutribullet - especially in a tiny house. These multi-use compact blending machines will blend up just about anything. Of course, you got the classic smoothies but also try making sauces, soups, nut butters and more! Check out the mid-size or compact for that extra storage conscious decision.

3. Ottoman & Bath Tray

When in your tiny home, there is generally limited space to put items like drinks or plates while enjoying a comfy meal. We’ve found that having a very clean looking ottoman tray is very helpful! It’s the clear choice for bringing your items around the house, setting it on your lap, hanging in the tub and best of all, it’s perfect for up in your loft while on your bed! Here are our two favorite and affordable Ottoman Tray and Bath Tray.

4. Bose Speaker

This one is pretty much a no brainer. In every space, a speaker is a must. But having a speaker that can service your whole tiny home and still sound amazing from one place is important. You don’t want to have to keep moving it around, and since everything is extremely noticeable in a tiny home, you don’t want it looking ugly on your shelf. This small Bose speaker packs a big punch when it comes to quality sound and aesthetics.

5. Inline Water Pressure Check Valve

This lead-free RV water pressure regulator with a check valve helps conserve water and maintains a safe and steady water pressure of around 40-50lbs.It is lead-free and made of brass so it’s drinking water safe. Check it out here!

6. Collapsible Chair

Having guests over can be a challenge if you don’t have anywhere for them to sit. We’ve found that having a collapsible and comfortable chair is extremely helpful. In addition, it’s the perfect chair to take outside of your tiny home and enjoy the great outdoors! We like these two - Alpha Camp and Urban Shop

7. Mini Portable Projector

A tiny space needs to be dynamic so having the ability to watch your favorite movie in your loft, any room of your cabin, and - my favorite way to watch a movie - outside under the stars is a huge win. Quick setup, easy to use, and for you video spec gurus, they have four different models that vary in picture quality, here, here, here and here!

Well, there you have it, go make your tiny house your home!
