Storage problems in a mobile home are rarely solved by squeezing in one more cabinet or buying another matching set of baskets. The harder question is deciding which belongings deserve prime storage space, which overlooked surfaces can carry extra capacity, and which additions would make an already compact home feel tighter.

Storage gets complicated in a mobile home because adding another cabinet can solve one problem while creating another: a tighter walkway, a heavier-looking wall, an awkward door swing, or furniture that occupies more floor space than the storage is worth. The smartest DIY mobile home storage projects work differently. They recover space that already exists—above … Read more
A plain mobile home wall does not always need to disappear behind another coat of paint. Sometimes the existing seams can become part of the design. In another room, a small amount of molding, wood, pattern, or shelving can give an otherwise flat surface the architectural presence it is missing. The best DIY mobile home … Read more
A dramatic mobile-home makeover can look as though everything changed at once. In reality, the best weekend mobile home projects are usually much more selective.

An old single wide makeover can be surprisingly convincing when the right changes work together. A tired exterior may still have a perfectly usable shape. A narrow living room may feel dated because several surfaces are competing for attention.
