2022 is already proving to be a popular year for revamping and remodeling manufactured homes. Many manufactured homeowners are looking for ways to give new life to the interior and exterior of their homes as they spend more time in them working, playing, or relaxing.
The good news is that, even if you’re on a budget, it’s not hard to find ways to redecorate or remodel to your heart’s content. Here’s a minimalist guide to revamping your mobile home:
Flooring
Believe it or not, it doesn’t have to take thousands of dollars to redo flooring in your mobile home.
Many flooring options, especially vinyl, have become incredibly popular choices for manufactured homeowners on a budget. Costing just an average of $1 or $2 per square foot of material, it’s also a DIY-friendly material if you’re looking at giving a new flair to your kitchen, living room, or bedroom floors.
For homeowners that desire a luxury hardwood look, vinyl flooring can replicate that style for a fraction of the cost. Vinyl flooring comes in large sheets that you can cut to size, or squares that you can use in segments throughout your floor.
You can check your local furniture or carpeting store for the best deals in your area on vinyl flooring for your mobile home.
Redecorating Your Furniture On a Budget
With tax season just around the corner, many manufactured homeowners might be thinking about how to bring some new furniture into their home. However, the good news is that you don’t have to wait for your tax return to get a new couch, loveseat, or kitchen table.
Local thrift stores can be a very popular source of high-quality furniture at heavily discounted prices. While they may not be quite as new as what’d you find on the show floor at your local high-end furniture store, you can still get great quality furniture at a secondhand store if you’re diligent.
Sometimes It’s Just Paint!
We’ve talked before about how much painting the inside of your manufactured home (or outside, weather permitting) can help liven things up. And it’s worth repeating here: sometimes, all you need to freshen up your mobile home is a fresh coat of paint!
There are a lot of creative ways to express your inner artist when painting a manufactured home. That said, painting is one of the more cost-effective ways to revamp your mobile home. Cans of paint average between 50 and 70 dollars, depending on brand, color, and where you buy it from.

Replacing Doors
A creaky or faulty front or side door can be one of the leading causes of heat loss during the winter. That’s why it’s important to replace your door if .
Besides the practicality, a new door can give a new look to your entryway while improving temperature regulation in your home – meaning it’s easier to keep extreme cold or heat outside.
While prices on mobile home doors can vary, your best bet is to take measurements for your door’s height and width and compare prices from local hardware stores in your area.
If you’re feeling cooped up from the winter blues, now can be the perfect time to revamp your mobile home and reinvigorate your creative spirit.
