One of the best things about living in a manufactured home is how affordable they are. You pay less for them and pay less to maintain them. On top of that, they can be spacious, comfortable and even luxurious.
To make your manufactured housing unit feel more like a home, you’ll want to customize it to your own personal decor style. We’ve rounded up some great hacks for decorating on a budget, so you can make the most of your manufactured home.
Paint Your Ceilings and Walls
Paint is great for creating an illusion of space. If you want your ceilings to look taller or your room to look bigger, use paint.
White paint on your ceiling is great for letting light bounce around and brightening up your space. Meanwhile, darker colors, like gray, are great for adding warmth and dimension – especially in contrast with a white ceiling.
Add Trim and Crown Molding
If your mobile home doesn’t already have it, add crown molding to instantly elevate the elegance and richness of the unit. Go with white trim if you are into the modern home style and stained wood trim if you prefer a traditionally styled home. Either way, crown molding will automatically enhance the appearance of your home.
Use Light Fixtures
Replacing your light fixtures is a simple way to upgrade your manufactured home. You can find inexpensive lighting fixtures at big box stores, like Amazon. Look for lighting fixtures that are catered towards smaller homes and are easy to install without a professional. We recommend recessed lighting – it’s affordable, unobtrusive and provides great light!
Get New Window Coverings
Curtains are a great way to personalize your space because they come in a large variety of patterns, shapes, sizes and colors. You could either get curtains that compliment your walls for a more subtle look, or get curtains that add a pop of color to the room. Either way, if you hand them as close to the ceiling as possible it will help the ceiling appear higher in addition to adding fun décor and style to your home.
