space saving ideas for tiny houses

Under Eave Closet - by Bruce Parker

An under eave closet is a great space saving idea for small houses.  This closet utilizes the otherwise wasted space located under the eaves and livens up the room. In many small houses the roof rafters rest directly on the top plate of the first floor simplifying construction and lowering costs. The trade off  is partial height under eave space. The closet illustrates one way this space can be utilized. Nooks for beds are another popular use for under eave space.
