\n

Painting the interior of a home is one of the biggest home improvement projects that can be done practically year-round, and the same holds true for manufactured homes. For many, however, it can be tough to figure out where to even start with painting a manufactured home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

If you\u2019re planning ahead for your next big painting project, here are 12 painting ideas for manufactured homes that will spark some creativity: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Find your theme <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Any color can spark an emotional response, or otherwise hold a connection to some kind of feeling. When painting your mobile home, consider finding a theme when painting a room, two rooms, or even your entire house. Do you want to paint your mobile home with different shades of green on the inside, or make each room a different color based on what that room means to you? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to project yourself onto a painting project and find different ways to connect rooms by their color. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Go for an accent wall <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

You don\u2019t have to paint all four walls of a room the same color. An increasingly popular trend is dedicating one wall in a room to an \u201caccent color,\u201d which serves to complement the color of the rest of the room. For example, you could paint a living room a light green, but have a darker green serve as your accent wall. These are a great way to add flair to the interior of your manufactured home. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Find seasonal inspiration for your colors<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The time of year can have an impact on how you decide to paint your home. If you\u2019re painting in the winter, for example, you may want to lean more warmer, or more neutral colors for your mobile home painting project. In the summertime, you may find yellows, greens, and pinks calling to you more. For example, you could use\u00a02022\u2019s Color of the Year, Very Peri, for a calming springtime shade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

No matter your mood during any season of the year, paint to it if you so desire! Paint to what your mood says you should paint towards. And if you decide to re-paint down the line \u2013 no problem! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Have fun with lines and patterns<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

There are many tutorials and how-to videos online for using painters tape to apply lines and patterns to paint over. If you\u2019re going to paint your manufactured home and want to add some extra flair, this is a great way to go. You can use painters tape to apply straight lines, or purchase pre-cut patterns to use before you paint. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Paint both the exterior and interior <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Some manufactured homeowners may choose to paint the exterior of their home. Depending on whether you\u2019re able to (some manufactured home communities may have rules that regulate painting the outside of a manufactured home), it may be worth exploring painting both the exterior and the interior of your manufactured home at the same time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

There are some things to keep in mind if you go this route. For one, you won\u2019t be able to use the same paint \u2013 exterior paint is graded differently for use so it can stand up to weather conditions, unlike interior paint. The painting process itself will likely also differ quite a bit, depending on the type or brand of paint you use and how you go about applying it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Paint for the nighttime <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

When painting your manufactured home, you may use swatches to decide which color you\u2019d like to use to paint. Don\u2019t forget to do this process during the nighttime, too, so that you have an idea of what certain colors might look like when the sun is down. Who knows \u2013 you may even find a color you like more at night! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Take advantage of dividing walls<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

If your manufactured home has a dividing wall, you have even more opportunity to get zany with painting. Want to paint the dividing wall a different color from the rest of the room that it\u2019s in? You can do that. Or maybe you want to paint a dividing wall in a room that has a painted pattern, like we talked about earlier \u2013 no problem! You can either paint it without that pattern, replicate the pattern, or give it a new pattern altogether. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Ceiling? Why not?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

It\u2019s not quite as hard to paint a ceiling as you might think. In your manufactured home, consider whether a room might benefit from having a painted ceiling. This could include a baby\u2019s bedroom, or a home office. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

There are a few tips to keep in mind when painting the ceiling in your manufactured home. For one, you should use paint specifically designated for ceiling use, as well as a stain-blocking primer if your home had previous water damage that left stains on your ceiling. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Paint for your mood <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n
\n

Are you painting an office or a studio? If so, don\u2019t be afraid to treat those rooms in your manufactured home with some creativity. Find a color for your home office, such as a blue or a green, that inspires productivity and creativity. And if you have an art studio inside a spare bedroom, make your walls just as artful with a splash of colors or perhaps even a mural. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Get your kids involved <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Painting your mobile home, both the exterior and interior, can be a great project for the kids to get involved in. While your kids can take a paint roller to the walls, you can fill in corners and apply painters tape, making a paint job more efficient. Just make sure that you teach proper painting safety, including proper ventilation and wearing old clothing in case of paint stains. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Consider temperature control <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

It\u2019s a well-known fact that many colors of paint can affect the temperature of your home \u2013 especially when it comes to exterior paint. When painting your manufactured home, keep in mind that lighter colors will reflect rays of sunlight \u2013 thus making a colder home more likely. The opposite happens with darker-colored homes, as they absorb <\/em>the sun\u2019s rays and can cause warmth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Keep it Simple<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Sometimes, you might just want to paint a room as simply as possible \u2013 and that\u2019s okay! Don\u2019t feel like you must follow any of the above tips if they don\u2019t personally call to you. If you\u2019d rather paint the interior of your manufactured home with just a simple color for each room, then paint that room just one color! It\u2019s all about what makes your manufactured home, your <\/em>manufactured home. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
