House Plans Under 50 Square Meters: 26 More Helpful Examples of Small-Scale Living

Have you ever wondered what you would be able to do if you only had a space of 50 square meters to create your own living space? We have opened our eyes to how
unnecessarily spacious the places we live in are, and we are headed to compact, minimalist spaces that give more room for expression.

In this article, we are going to experiment with different house plans that are under 50 square meters to show that it’s not about the size of the space you design or choose to live in, but rather how you use this space. Simple changes such as how you arrange your furniture or position it leads to great changes in the space you live in. You can see that there are three different spatial categories here as follows: 20-29 m 2 ; 30-39 m 2 ; and 40-49m 2 , choose the one that most relevant to the space you live in or the design you desire to achieve and see for yourself the magic of tiny spaces!
