How to Decorate a Living Room in a Trailer • Top9Home

Trailers, also known as mobile homes, often have small lounges that can look dark and messy easily. The living room can be only 10 to 14 feet wide, which is a challenge when organizing furniture and decorative pieces. The walls of the trailer panel may be dark in color, which affects the brightness of a trailer’s living room. When decorating a trailer’s living room, you need to be careful to open the space and work with the color.

How to Decorate a Living Room in a Trailer

Paint the walls and ceiling in a light color with a glossy finish. Painting the walls makes the room bigger as it reflects more light entering the room.

Buy transparent window curtains. Many trailers, particularly single-width trailers, have windows on two sides of the living room or even on three sides if it is at one end. Take advantage of the light by leaving the curtains open and installing transparent curtains for privacy. The curtains must be a light color that matches the desired color scheme.

Hang a large mirror on an empty wall. Mirrors create the appearance of more space and help reflect light. When you hang heavy objects like mirrors on a trailer, make sure you find a bolt on the wall or place the mirror in several places to distribute the weight.

Install the molding on the top of the walls to add architectural details to the living room of your trailer. Dark wood strips work well, although you can also choose to paint the ornament in an accent color, if desired.

Choose sofas and upholstered chairs in solid colors, because prints can make the stay of a trailer too small and crowded. Bookshelves, small tables and tables with a feeling of openness instead of a heavy sensation also give the illusion of more space.

Organize the furniture taking into account the flow of traffic. If the living room is in the center of the trailer, people will go through it to get from one end of the trailer to the other. Try to leave a catwalk that does not cross half the conversation, gathering the furniture.

Buy a large rug for the center of the living room. The carpet not only hides the ugly carpet that most likely was pre-installed in the trailer, but also gives you the opportunity to bring color and elegance to the room.
