But even within the tiny house movement, there’s another subset of people who are downsizing further by living in tiny houses on wheels. As you might have guessed from the name, these structures are built to be easily moved from place to place, making them ideal for those who want to live in one area during the summer and another during the winter or for those who want to take advantage of travel opportunities throughout the year.



1) Keep it Simple

The Tiny Houses on Wheels movement has been catching fire in recent years, but many people are intimidated by building their own. Fear not! Here are five tips to spruce up your exterior without breaking the bank.

* Choose your exterior color wisely. It's a good idea to choose an earthy neutral like stone grey, oatmeal or taupe as it will blend well with surrounding nature and be more energy efficient. * Consider adding some greenery with a potted plant or trees that you can add without affecting your budget too much. * Add some fixtures like porch lights, flower pots, wind chimes and outdoor rugs to make your tiny house feel welcoming and homey. * Utilize materials that you already have on hand by repurposing them.

2) Use Bright and Bold Colors

If you have wood siding like most Tiny Houses on Wheels do, make sure the surface is primed first with an oil-based primer so that paint will adhere properly to it.

Pots are an affordable way to add some color and life to any space that doesn't get a lot of natural light 5.
