The Tiny Home Tours That Made 2025 Unforgettable

Every year brings its own rhythm. New places, new faces, new stories. And every year, there are a handful of homes that quietly rise above the rest, not because they are bigger, flashier, or more expensive, but because they linger in the mind long after the cameras are packed away.

As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the tiny home tours that truly defined the year. From remote off-grid retreats to beautifully resolved urban sanctuaries, these homes represent the very best of what we saw across a full year of travel, filming, and storytelling.

These are not just well designed spaces. They are homes shaped by intention, creativity, and a deep understanding of what really matters in daily life. Here are the five tiny homes that made 2025 unforgettable for us.

Linda’s Mini Mansion

Linda’s tiny home quickly earned the nickname “the mini mansion,” and it is easy to see why. While modest in footprint, this home feels anything but small. Every inch has been thoughtfully designed to maximise space, light, and comfort, creating a home that feels generous, welcoming, and beautifully resolved.

What stood out most was the sense of ease inside the space. Nothing felt cramped or compromised. Instead, the layout flowed effortlessly, proving that tiny homes can feel luxurious without excess. Linda’s home is a masterclass in smart design and a powerful reminder that size alone does not define how a home feels.

Lara’s £12,000 Tiny Home

Lara’s tiny home was one of the most refreshing and inspiring builds we visited this year. Built on a remarkably small budget of just £12,000, it challenged the idea that beautiful, functional tiny homes need to come with a hefty price tag.

This was a home shaped by resourcefulness and creativity. Reclaimed materials, clever problem-solving, and a clear vision came together to create a space that felt warm, personal, and entirely livable. Lara’s build showed what is possible when determination meets imagination, and it has inspired countless people who dream of creating a tiny home without spending a fortune.

Philippa’s Sacred Geometry Tiny Home

Philippa’s tiny home felt unlike anything else we visited in 2025. Designed around principles of sacred geometry, the home embraced curves, proportion, and flow in a way that felt both grounding and deeply intentional.

Every element of the design worked together harmoniously, from the gently curved walls and openings to the way light moved through the space. This was not whimsical or decorative for the sake of it. It was a carefully considered home that felt calm, centred, and quietly powerful. Philippa’s tiny home reminded us that architecture can be both practical and spiritual, and that the spaces we live in can profoundly shape how we feel.

Mark’s Wide Beam Canal Boat in London

Floating quietly along London’s canals, Mark’s wide beam canal boat offered a completely different take on small living. This was a full-sized home on the water, combining the romance of canal life with the practicality needed for everyday living in one of the world’s busiest cities.

Inside, the boat felt spacious, warm, and thoughtfully laid out, with everything designed to work within the unique constraints of life afloat. What made this home so special was the lifestyle it represented. A slower pace of life, a deep connection to place, and a way of living that feels both timeless and quietly rebellious. Mark’s canal boat was a beautiful example of how alternative living can thrive right in the heart of a major city.

Phil’s Genius DIY Tiny Home

Phil’s tiny home was, quite simply, one of the most impressive DIY projects we have ever toured. Built across two trailers, this ultra-modern tiny home pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the DIY world and redefined expectations around self-built homes.

Every detail had been carefully engineered, refined, and executed with extraordinary precision. The layout, systems, and structural decisions all reflected deep problem-solving and an incredible level of foresight. Despite the technical brilliance behind the scenes, the home felt calm, cohesive, and highly livable. Complexity melted away into elegance.

Phil’s build was a powerful reminder that tiny homes are limited not by size, but by imagination and skill. It set a new benchmark for DIY builds and left a lasting impression on us as one of the most intelligent and accomplished tiny homes we have ever featured.

Looking Back on a Remarkable Year

Choosing just five homes from an entire year of tiny home tours is never easy. Each one we visit offers something unique, and every story adds another layer to the broader picture of what small living can be.

These five stood out because they captured the spirit of 2025. Ingenuity, intention, and the courage to create a life that feels aligned with personal values rather than convention. They reminded us why we continue to do this work, and why tiny homes, canal boats, and alternative living spaces continue to resonate so deeply with people around the world.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We hope these stories inspire you as much as they inspired us, and we cannot wait to see what the next year brings.
