16 Tiny House Living Room Furniture Ideas (Photos)

U-shaped sectional sofa in tiny house living room with TV — Tiny house Designed and built by Summit Tiny Homes.

Personally, I think tiny houses skimp a bit on the living room area. I know there’s not much space to work with, but I know that I love to relax and lounge which requires comfortable furniture that’s fairly large.

Designing a tiny house and want some living room layout and furniture ideas? We have you covered. We showcase many different living rooms from the same number of different custom-built tiny houses (most on wheels). Check them out here.

Your best bet is some form of built-in furniture that spans the width of one end of the house, preferably a large built-in sofa in a U-shape. This is a very common tiny home living room layout.

While some features an armchair, most offer one continuous sofa, whether straight, l-shape or u-shape.

However, there’s more to the living room in a tiny house than the furniture. There are storage considerations as well. In fact, every room in a tiny house should consider creating some storage areas – whether drawers, cabinets or shelves. Some tiny houses embrace this, while other more minimalist designs don’t.
