- 1). Install siding that matches or complements the siding that is on your house, using a lightweight material so you do not over increase the overall weight of the mobile home. For example, if your house is a light yellow stucco, choose a light yellow aluminum siding for the mobile home.
- 2). Replace the older shingles with newer ones that are similar in hue and shape to those on your house or other outdoor buildings. Since you can only use one layer of shingles on a mobile home, versus two or more on a regular house, these need to be replaced frequently after storm damage so your shingles will stay looking attractive.
- 3). Paint the trim of the mobile home to coordinate with the trim on your house. For example, if your house has bright red trim, paint the window and door casings on your mobile home in a shade of red as well.
- 4). Hang window treatments on the inside and outside of the trailer to create a homey lived-in look. For example, choose drapes of the same material as the curtains in your house or add shutters that complement the trim.
- 5). Add a deck or carport onto the mobile home to increase living space without having to actually attach anything to the trailer itself that will add to its weight. Use lumber in the same tones as the deck on your house or buy a carport that is made from material that complements the window treatments or shingles.
- 6). Install a walking path to the front steps of the mobile home. Examples include laying a concrete sidewalk or setting down stone pavers so that the mobile home has its very own walkway leading toward it.
- 7). Landscape around the mobile home as you would a tiny house. Options include hanging flower planters at the window, planting a flower garden along the front of the skirting or adding potted plants along the walkway.
