Interior decorating ideas to make a mobile home glamorous

A mobile home is something you usually associate in your mind as being cramped and inferior. But done right, mobile home design can make a mobile home comfortable and stunning. Here are a few interior decorating ideas to make even a mobile home glamorous.

Wood floors

Most mobile homes come standard with carpeted floors. But there’s so much more of a wow factor when you have wood flooring. Since you remodel from the ground up it’s the logical place to start. Tear up that carpeting and install wood flooring or laminate if you want the look without as big an investment.

Countertops

A higher-grade material for the kitchen and bathroom counters is another way to spruce up a mobile home. Granite is the undisputed king of kitchen countertops but it’s also the most expensive. Quartz is a less porous (read "easier to clean") material that costs much less and has a very elegant look.

Home office

Want to make your mobile home more professional, create a home office. Since space is limited, you don’t have the luxury of a dedicated home office. You can, however, create an office nook in the bedroom. Purchase a small but nice computer desk and chair. Put your desktop or laptop there, and voila, a home office.

Less is more

Real estate is your limiting factor when decorating a mobile home so you have to be especially judicious about what stays and what goes. Ditch the huge TV stand, mount an ultra-slim flat screen right onto the wall. Install a floating shelf or two nearby to place your Blu-ray player and movies. You have to be smarter about creative storage solutions. Everything should double as extra storage. A coffee table needs a shelf below; an ottoman needs to open up to reveal hidden storage. Move things off the floor. Pendant lights instead of lamps, mounted coat hooks rather than a coat rack.

Baseboard heater covers

Does your mobile home have a dated-looking baseboard heater system? Cover it with a snap-on cover. They’re inexpensive, easy to install, and they make your mobile home look much more modern.

DETERMINE IF BRACKETS ARE NECESSARY

Always measure left to right, and twice for accuracy

Wall Widget

EZ Snap™ Wall Widgets are used when your old or existing wall back plate has been removed or if you have to hang your new cover 1 inch or higher to bring them up to a height that will fit our installation guidelines. Just measure your overall desired height, subtract 1", drill a hole, preferably in a stud and attach it to the wall with the included screw.

Floor Fidgets

EZ Snap™ Floor Fidgets easily raise your new covers ¾ inch to compensate for any ¾ inch floor (wood, tile, or other) that has been installed any time since your baseboard heater was originally installed. May be used for any reason when the overall height has been shortened and the total height is less than 7-½ inches for standard height or 9-½ inches for the TALL height EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Covers. Just use the self-tapping screws to secure them to the top of your existing wallplate.

Wall Contraptions

EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions are used when your wall back plate has been completely removed. EZ Snap™ Wall Contraptions receives your EZ Snap™ BaseBoard Cover and keeps your aluminum fin tube from sagging. These completely replace your wall back plate. To install, slide up from the bottom and make sure the top is at your desired height. Screw to the wall, then bend the front finger up to hold the fin tube in place.
