Tiny homes and other alternative housing models are sweeping the world and the internet. A TikTok video showcases how tiny home living is not only environmentally conscious but can be super aesthetically enticing.
The post was shared by Christian Dremel (@christiandremel), who lives in their tiny home in New Jersey. In the video, viewers can see that the small space has everything someone could need, plus killer decor.

"Speed tour of my 10x12 tiny house," Christian captioned the post.
Realtor.com describes a tiny home as "between 100 and 400 square feet," and explains that this style of living became increasingly popular following the 2008 financial crisis.
Now, tiny homes are getting even more attention as they can be a great way of reducing your environmental impact. With a smaller house, you're set to use less energy heating or cooling it. Plus, tiny homes aren't associated with big housing developments, which can disturb or displace wildlife.

Renewable implementations in tiny homes are quite common, especially solar panels. These can help run your tiny home without paying for, or relying on, electricity grid access – costing as little as $0 a month. Plus, as opposed to burning gas or other dirty fuels, solar energy is clean, meaning it won't pollute the air.
While switching to the tiny home lifestyle isn't attainable for everyone, you can take other steps to make your home a little better for the earth. With EnergySage, a free service, you can find the solar solutions best for your home, compare quotes from vetted local installers, and save up to $10,000 on solar installations.
Still, not everyone can afford to buy solar panels. For people who want to go solar, but would rather lease the panels, check out Palmetto's LightReach program.
