The Viral Skinny House

A skinny house in Deerfield, IL, was in the news. It even went viral on TikTok and was sold for $260,000. But looks can be deceptive since even if it looks tiny and slim, it has all the rooms you may need in a house.

Yes, you can potter around the house and not feel cramped; such is the design aesthetics of the architect. It is pretty rare to see a place like this that looks 'thin' from the outside, and it is 'fat' from the inside, or we can borrow a term often used by nutritionists, a skinny fat house.

  Not A Small House

So, what about the $260K "Skinny House" that made it viral? It is only a meter wide, looks excellent, and is indeed a novel enterprise for it to go viral On Tiktok_22.

The skinny house has just about 500 square meters of living space, with only two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Although one part of the house measures only 3 feet wide, the other side is more expansive and 20 feet wide. The place looks gorgeous and not disproportionate at all, which is the best part of it.

  The Stylishly-Decorated Living Room

When you enter the house, you see a longish living room. It may not be similar to a typical home, but it looks comfortable, it's not only about the space you get, but the critical thing is what you do with the space that ultimately matters.

Of course, it is also important not to crowd the house with too many knick-knacks as it will eat away the room. Hardwood floors and warm lighting lends the home a hint of coziness. Strategic positioning of furniture can make it look even more spacious and pretty.

 The Well-Equipped Kitchen

So, does the skinny house has a spacious kitchen? It is about 15 feet wide and has stainless steel appliances; a chrome finish also makes it look big.

The large windows invite spirit right in and also enable cross ventilation. Sunlight beaming through the windows will make it pleasant for the person cooking in the aesthetically pleasing kitchen. Also, the more nature you allow inside your house, the bigger it will look.

 Art Pieces for Decor

When you have a house like this, you need to do up your home just so there is not much clutter in the room. You do not have to add too many expensive sofas and furniture, you need to put them in ordinary sofas, but together it creates an aesthetic effect.

The house also has a blue-dominated painting and a different kind of clock to add another look and feel to the living room. The placement of lights also matters a great deal; this is what lends a 'lighter' look and takes away from some of the clutter.

 The Classy Bathroom

Many people check the house's bathroom first to find out whether the house has a well-decorated bathroom. It's not that you need an expansive bathroom, just the right amount of space that helps you move around the bathroom comfortably.

Here we love the decor of this bathroom. You will find the bathroom on the ground floor, which may seem more minor, but still, it is pretty and has innovative closets to store all your things inside. The bathroom looks aesthetically pleasing and gorgeous when you lose the extra clutter.

 

Rican-Style Master Bedroom

The master bedroom on the second floor caters to the sensibilities of the modern American style. The room has a width of 19 feet, which is large enough for people to rest, relax, rejuvenate, and spend some relaxing time.

The furniture is simple, yet it adds value to the room. Even the fan adds light to the bedroom! The intelligent placement of lights makes the whole room look lived-in and comfortable yet classy. Also, the ample use of white and wood makes the room more spacious.

 Another Bathroom for Leisurely Shower Time

This bathroom is the second one in the house and looks pretty spacious than the one you spot on the first floor. Thanks to the extra bright light, it can help owners enjoy a hot or cold shower in the bathroom.

We love how they have used extra white to make the most of the light streaming in from the windows. Those pink flowers are just what you need to pep up the bathroom. Here again, you see the extra bit of light that is adding the extra sparkle.

 Extra Room for Guests

Although the guest room of the skinny house seems a tad smaller than the master bedroom, again, it is well equipped. The toy dog is placed next to the door's entrance, adding the right degree of liveliness to the room.

Again the room is not packed with objects of decor. The windows have Venetian blinds that allow the outside to come right in. Yes, there is that odd picture and that vase with flowers, but little else. The critical point to note here is the use of white.

  The Spacious Yard

The skinny house has a spacious yard, too, where the owner can park the bikes or indulge in some morning exercises. The garden is carefully manicured with a smattering of color lent by the pretty flowers.

The green outside adds a lot of liveliness to the house. If you are tired of sitting cooped up inside the house, spend some quality time in the sun, tending to the greens, and watering the flowers. The skinny home certainly deserves to go viral. One look at it, and you'll fall in love with it forever and ever.
