Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
The concept of tiny living has been increasing in popularity for the last few years, and it is a trend that doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon. While it only makes up around one percent of home sales each year, tiny home ownership grew 67 percent in 2017 and continues to grow in popularity each year.
Because of space constraints, tiny homes need specialized products that allow homeowners to maximize the function of their small spaces. Fortunately, these products also work great for customers living in traditional homes, giving you twice the opportunity to sell to customers.
Rather than a full-size coffee maker taking up precious counter space, the compact AeroPress Original Coffee Maker makes coffee, cold brew and espresso drinks and fits in a drawer.

The Dyson V8 Absolute converts from a stick to a handheld vacuum for double-duty function and is easily stored.
