    The problem with remodeling a trailer is that you have to first identify what structure you are working with. Some come with very minimum size structure and can be very costly to rebuild.

    Paint over the paneling , is an inexpensive change. Just be sure to use primer first. Choose a light color for the paint. Keep to the same color in the living, dining and kitchen areas. I would recommend the vinyl plank flooring - the same pattern through out. They make one that is wood tone. Using the same pattern is a light wood tone will make it feel larger. Then use an area rug in the living room area, and bedrooms. For window treatments, inexpensive window shades, with white or white lace panels (to the floor in the living area). Use colored toppers for accent. Keep the color scheme the same in the kitchen, dining and living room area . It will make it seem larger. Keep furniture small scale. A smaller sofa. Club style chair with an ottoman. A small coffee table and smaller end tables. Coffee table can even be a small blanket chest, or fancy wood toy chest (to give you extra storage). Keep to a smaller dining table. Folding chairs can even go under the trailer if extra seating is needed on occasion.

    How far do you want to go with the remodel? You can gut everything and start fresh or you can just repaint and put down new flooring.

    Try to keep flooring the same throughout. It will make it feel a lot larger. Most of the older models have paneling. Prime first then paint. It will make a big difference. Keep any window treatments small - and the same color as the walls. This will make it seem larger. A white or pale color is best, as mobile homes lack a lot of windows. Before putting down flooring in the bathroom, make sure you do not have any rot in the sub floor - this happens a lot. It may have to be replaced. Any end tables must have storage. If room for a coffee table, use a wicker chest or a small blanket chest / toy trunk. This is good for keeping out of season things. Elevate bed with blocks, or the risers college students use. This will give additional space under the bed.
