The Tiny Canal Cottage is a resource for helping folks mindfully conceptualize, decorate and enjoy versatile + smaller home spaces. Founded by designer, consultant, stylist, creative director and author, Whitney Leigh Morris, this family-owned small business recently finished the construction of a new, compact cottage and greenhouse-office in the southeastern US, and are also restoring a little 1800s French farmhouse and its outbuildings with co-stewards. Morris’ focus is crafting flexible, sustainable, and more community-focused home spaces. Explore Whitney’s book, blog, and social channels for years of tips and tales from living and working in — and with — a smaller footprint.
Whitney Leigh Morris is an author and small space designer who is passionate about sustainable, rightsized homes + gardens, as well as how interior design impacts co-stewardship and multigenerational living.
A firm believer that you don't need to "live large" to live beautifully, Morris strives to help individuals, couples, and families live comfortably and contentedly in — and with— a smaller footprint. The intention behind her work is to embolden a collective shift away from the “bigger/more is better” mentality that contributes to hyper-consumerism, allowing us clearer access to a greener and more equal path forward.
Morris shares her expertise via a diverse array of news + editorial outlets and speaking engagements, her video content, and her book: Small Space Style: Because You Don’t Need to Live Large to Live Beautifully. She is a professional member of the Good Future Design Alliance, and is on the Board of The RightWay Foundation.
Morris and her family live in the southeastern US and in southern France.
