The best and easiest way is to use a neutral color scheme throughout to allow your eyes and senses to "flow" through the house. Many colors, textures and patterns are attractive but break up spaces. In a small area you want flow, not visual disruptions to make the space look larger.
Mirrors, light colors, minimal decorating and stuff can make a space look a lot larger than it is.

A fresh coat of paint can refresh the look of paneling . Brighten up your walls with paint to make your single-wide mobile look larger. Use bright whites in the kitchen and paint wood-colored paneling a white or whitewash to visually expand the area. A large mirror can add depth and style to any room.
EDNA....I agree that light colors would be best.
I agree...a lighter, neutral color palette will help freshen up the space and make it feel larger. Hanging a mirror on a wall that does not get a great deal of natural light would be helpful. Use a few larger accessories, rather than several small accessories.
Lighter color on walls and floors. Minimal furniture. Bright lights.
