A great way to make more room is to go up the walls. Add shelves for storage/display.

Hello please consider posting some photographs and giving a little more information. Are you looking for storage ideas decorating ideas or how to add more light and brightness to your rooms? More information might give us the best chance to give you the answer you’re looking for.
I like going more of a minimal for decorating, especially smaller spaces. Nothing that sticks out off the walls. More mobile homes are a bit dark so I would go with light colors as much as possible. If storage is an issue, consider adding some shelves or even some cabinets that are for over the toilet. My daughter bought one for her bathroom that doesn't look like it's designed for that area, it would be fine in living room or kitchen. They aren't as deep as kitchen cabinets and would serve as a place to store items out of sight.
can you remove a non load bearing wall between the kitchen and kitchen? also less bulky or large furniture and lighter colors will make it appear larger too

Hi Nicholas,if you have the old style wood paneling, yoou might consider painting the walls and or cabinets a light color. Also, always consider souble duty furniture such as an ottaman with storage, end tables with a shelf or storage area beneath the table surface. Less is More, so keep accessories & decor items to a minimum.
Hi, one thing that makes more space is great storage! Hope these help you out

Hi! Lightening up the decor is usually the way to go. Think grays, creamy whites. If you have paneling, it isn't hard to update it with paint. Dated carpet can be ripped out or covered with an area rug, depending on budget. Simplify window treatments to let in more light. Improve storage options by making pieces do double duty like with a storage ottoman instead of a coffee table. Make sure the scale of your furniture doesn't overwhelm your space. Pick a light, airy palette with neutrals and soft, natural looking colors like blues and greens. Replace outdated lighting. Consider luxury vinyl planks instead of carpet. Good luck!
I would try to “go vertical” with shelving units or wall hung shelves.

I'd be sure to get pieces of furniture that have storage in them - like end tables with drawers, coffee table with storage, ottomans that have storage. I'd add any shelving you can to your kitchen walls and use that wall space to the best of your ability. You can find tiny storage units that fit between toilets and sinks like this: https://amzn.to/3uOjkDB
Be sure to utilize space under your bed. If you have a desk, be sure it has drawers for storage. Sometimes under trailers you can store plastic bins that are sealed off from mice and critters (thinking like Christmas decos.) Add more shelves to cloests if need be. My husbands and I first year of marriage was spent in a 500 sq/ foot apartment that was cheap so that we could save for a downpayment for a house. Man oh man were we good at using up every inch possible in that small space!!!
