One of the biggest aspects of going tiny is downsizing. Many people do not know what they need and what to get rid of. I hope to help people understand what to actually own in a tiny house.
So, what do tiny house people actually have? Here are all of the items I own in my 112 sq ft tiny house. I will list out what I own in each area, the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and storage.
My husband and I have been living tiny for almost four years now and in this house just over a year. I want to share with you all the things I own in my current house.
If you are new here then I recommend you check out the mindset we have behind owning less stuff.
Getting More Stuff
As a quick note I do not buy anything unless I actually need it or my current one is broken. I also do not get rid of extra things I have that I may not use extremely often. There are camping things we have even though we don't get the chance to go that often. This keeps me from having to buy simple things once a year. There are also probably more things I could use in my house, but it is not important enough for me to buy it.
Obviously, I do not think everyone should throw away anything not listed and buy everything they do not have. This is just to give you a good idea of what we need and use living in a tiny house.

Conclusion
I hope this helps everyone understand a little more about living tiny. You don't need a ton of stuff, but we actually have a lot in such a small place. The important part is to make sure it is things you are using.
We could get rid of a lot of the things I listed out, however it was either given to us or free and I have the room to keep it for that once in a while usage, like camping. So we will keep them until it has been a year or so and we decide to clean house.
As a side note, we live perfectly happy with everything we have. I do not feel like I am missing something and I make LOTS of food with the small amount of kitchen items I own.
