Decorating A Mobile Home With Small Bedrooms

Even a small mobile home bedroom can be big on style and function


Mobile homes aren't known for spaciousness and the bedroom areas usually suffer the most. To make the most of a mobile home using small bedrooms, you need to unclutter your space and freshen your colors and textures. Choosing lighter colors and decorating small spaces with purposeful application of accents and furniture will create a comfortable space to rival any larger home.


Instructions








1. A pale shade of nearly any color can expand the visual space in a small bedroom


Brighten the space with new wall paint. Paint paneled mobile home bedroom walls a clean white or pale shade of yellow, light blue or tan to give the feeling of increased space.


2. A large bed will make your small bedroom look cramped and uninviting


Downsize the beds. Replace a king-sized bed with a queen or full-sized bed. You can also replace a queen bed in a guest bedroom or kids' room with a stylish day bed you can push against the wall and transform into a sofa when not in use.


3. An embroidered or tufted texture on a comforter adds visual interest in a bedroom


Use a plain comforter on the bed with a fashionable texture instead of a patterned blanket. This will visually enlarge the room and keep it interesting and inviting.


4. Sheer curtains can add a splash of color and light to any room


Hang minimally patterned window dressings. Choose a sheer curtain to allow light into the room, hanging it close to the ceiling to make the window area appear larger.


5. Search vintage or antique malls to select a unique piece for each room


Place an extraordinary accessory in each room. One outstanding lamp or piece of artwork will define each room and give it personality.


6. Dress up shelves with a mix of books, knick knacks, and storage boxes


Take advantage of cutout spaces in the room. Build custom shelves to fit nooks in the mobile home bedroom and provide needed storage without losing floor space.


7. Today's electric fireplaces feature traditional mantles to enhance your bedroom


Use a portable electric fireplace in one room and take advantage of a small bedroom to create a cozy, romantic space in your mobile home.


8. Attach a small shelf next to the bed to replace a bedside table. This will provide storage space without taking up floor space and cluttering the room.
