This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I've been watching tiny house videos recently. People using small space to build a house is interesting. Although their houses are small, they have everything they need and their designs are modern. While watching the videos, I thought of building one for myself. However, it's too tiring. I've only built a mini camp at my home with bed sheets.

Does "come" mean successfully doing something?

the closest (stage) I have got to

You probably used nylon sheets and not bedsheets to build a camp.

small space - confined space

I don't understand this at all. Kids in the UK commonly use their bedsheets to fashion an indoor camp. Most people don't have any other kind of sheets in their house.

Are you suggesting that "small space" should be changed to "confined space"? If so, why?
