Tiny home components, should not just scratch your aesthetic itch, but should be simple to build, and accessible to us that don’t have construction experience.
No longer are the days when you need to hire contractors, who take weeks- if not months! – to measure, cut, sand and build. The tiny home kits discussed in this article come ready to assemble. Some kits even come pre-assembled into components that only require 10 minutes of work to bolt together.
Here, we value intentional living, that should be easy, expansive, and non-restricting. Here are some of the most functional, budget friendly—and beautiful—ways to make your space work harder, with real product recommendations we love.
Reclaim Your Kitchen
When every square foot matters, your space has to work smarter, not harder. And most importantly should be budget friendly. Overhead cabinets are one of the places tiny home dwellers overspend. They’re heavy, costly, and bulky. By replacing upper cabinets with open shelving, you open up visual space, reduce weight, and save serious cash.
Instead of a $1,000+ cabinet install, opt for these handcrafted hardwood floating shelves. They’re made to order and sturdy enough for dishes, dry goods, or display pieces. The floating shelf brackets are crafted from ¼-inch thick American steel, and remain hidden within the shelf, providing a clean, floating appearance. Each bracket is engineered to support at least 50 lbs per stud.
They are hand-crafted in California- here in our neighborhood actually- by Kurouto Kitchenware. They add a warm and natural, but luxurious vibe to your kitchen, and are made with solid hardwoods combing minimalist design with robust construction.
Pair these with vertical space-savers like the 16-inch walnut magnetic knife block or magnetic spice racks to keep your kitchen counters clean and clutter free.
Make Your Kitchen the Staircase
Yes, you read that right. One of the smartest ways to get function out of a tight footprint is to blend your kitchen right into your stairs.
The Tiny Home Under Stair Kitchen kit gives you a full-featured kitchen with integrated stairs—blending cooking, storage, and movement in one gorgeous install. It’s a major space-saver that still offers generous cabinet space, counter prep area, and appliance integration. This kitchen comes pre-assembled in 3 components and can be installed within minutes!
Let’s talk specs! This kitchen built-in includes cabinetry that is perfect for hiding all the small and unsightly kitchen appliances you no longer want on the counters. It even comes with a double stacked pull-out pantry that has shelving to hold everything from cereal boxes to canned foods. Also, no need to have a tiny fridge in a tiny home- your meals should not be compromised. The fridge space is large enough to hold a standard refrigerator. It’s 71.7” H x 39” W to be exact.
Stairs that Double as a Closet
Tiny home stairs can—and should—do more than get you to your loft. They’re a perfect spot for functional storage or multi-use space. Whether you’re needing wardrobe storage or an entertainment nook the Tiny Home Loft Stairs Wardrobe is a top pick.
What makes these truly unique? They come pre-assembled in 2-3 components allowing you to install them within minutes!
These stairs are a top choice for:
- Tiny home builders looking for a turnkey solution that’s beautiful and fast to install
- DIYers and homeowners seeking to maximize loft access without hiring a carpenter
- ADUs and cabins where every inch matters and storage space is at a premium
Have a need for a custom dimension staircase that not only looks exquisite and high-end, but can store a **** load??
Look no further!
Whether you’re outfitting a sleeping loft, office nook, or just trying to access a high platform, these stairs create structure, style, and smart utility—all in one tight footprint!
These customizable loft stairs can stand 41”- 92.25” tall and offer a beautiful shelving design to display books, pottery, blankets, or your Star Warz doll collection. Just like the kitchen and wardrobe built-ins, Veritas Living Co. pre-assembles custom stairs that are 82” or taller. For shorter designs under 82”, they ship in a box and can be easily assembled with just a drill! Typical customers -with no construction experience – assemble these within 1-2 hours with the help of a hot cup of joe.
For stairs under 82”, have no fear! No difficult tasks here. The Pre-drilled holes and included hardware mean there’s no guesswork—just line up the pieces and fasten with the provided bolts.
OK! There is one final design that has become the masterpiece in all tiny spaces
-The Folding Loft Stairs-
The sleek, wall-mounted design provides a stylish and practical alternative to the other tiny home staircases. If you need more space, it seamlessly folds against the wall and integrates into your space. Beautifully crafted is Baltic birch or bamboo wood, and quick to install (the Veritas Living Staple). No measuring, cutting, or design work required. We do it for you. All you need is a drill, stud finder, and level! Use the simple 8 step instructions to assemble and install.
Veritas Living Co offers base models at every ½ of a foot from 4ft to 7.5ft, however, with a quick message you can get custom dimensions up to 10ft.
Final Thoughts: Build Smarter, Not Smaller
In a tiny home, multi-purpose design is everything. Whether you’re just starting your build or upgrading what you already have, investing in pieces that do more with less will completely transform your living experience.
Start with one smart swap—replace upper cabinets with shelves or maximize your stairs as storage—and watch how much easier (and more beautiful) your space becomes.
