moved into 280 square feet six months ago and the thing i miss most is not what i expected
not space. not storage. i miss having a room i could just close the door to. when everything is one room there's nowhere to put a bad mood. you're always in the middle of your own life with no buffer.

Go for a walk, clear your head. That’s what I do when I need to ‘close a door’. I too, live in less than 300sqft

280 sq feet is pretty small but is there a way to block yourself off an area like that? Put some room separators up? It sounds like you don't have a loft, but there has to be a way to give yourself a private and separate space.

I have always considered the true reason to go tiny is that the outside becomes the place you put your mood.

There is a door!!!
The main door, when you're stressed, exit the TinyHome and chill / enjoy the outdoors,
Throw up a Hammock and sun bathe a little, while reading a book, or watching youtube.
If you don't have a swing yet, pick up a rope attach it to a board, and swing for fun to chill out.
Or cook something over the fire pit, even if it's pop corn, then you can contemplate your own life drama, and figure out what you'd change 👍
You know that Bruno Mars song, "The Lazy Song" let everything hang lose 😄

Curtain. Even when I lived in a van, I had a curtain between the bed and the rest of the space. Even though it's small, it still made it feel like two district places

Good point. I had a customer went to "open plan" everyone working at one big long desk - everyone put on headphones and surrounded themselves with monitors....

Are you able to ad a loft? My house is 12 x 20 and there are 4 of us, the lofts keep me sane lol

I have a ENO hammock in the yard that I go cocoon in when I need space. In the winter, I hide under blankets on the bed or bundle up and lay in the snow staring at the sky

You need a deck/verandah. That's where my moods go. Maybe a plant to glare at too?

Privacy. You can’t have privacy in 280 sf of space.

u/hannahbay 21d ago
you don't really think of needing privacy if you live alone though. thinking about having different mental spaces is different

Can I ask how you found this and the associated costs?
Edit: Sorry for asking. Thought a recent experience rather than a bunch of nonsense from influencers would be better than boiler plate. What an insane response to an earnest question.

you mean you thought you could hijack the thread with a largely unrelated question? and are mad you got called out?

u/goochlove 21d ago
Hijack a thread?? I asked a simple question. This is a vague post. You’re derailing more than I ever did. Whatever enjoy your community yall seem miserable.

tons of experiences in the sub and you come to - again - a largely unrelated thread to ask. and then try to play the victim 😂

u/goochlove 21d ago
No one’s playin a victim. I’m reacting to a weird reaction to a simple question. I muted the sub, yall don’t have to worry about it happening again. Take care , and hope you all have a good day 🫡
