In the past, a lot of people thought of manufactured homes as the awkward stepchild of other houses. They couldn’t be more wrong. After doing some research, it’s easy to see manufactured houses are some of the most affordable homes on the market.

These houses are built in climate-controlled environments, usually in fewer than two weeks. A team of skilled craftsmen builds the houses in massive factories so the consumers know their houses will be closely inspected and carefully constructed. These homes are getting more and more elaborate and desirable.

In the past, heating and cooling manufactured homes was a major expense. Now, they tend to be much more energy efficient. Sheetrock and insulation, as well as open floor plans, allow for more reliable climate control. In addition to easing the expense of heating and cooling, drywall has replaced wood paneling to give these houses a more “homey” feel. Many manufactured homes now come standard with the amenities of “traditional” homes such as granite and marble counter tops, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances.

In the last 25 years, so much has changed in the affordable homes market that it’s nearly impossible to tell a factory-built house apart from a site-built one.

 

Decorating a new manufactured home can be an exhilarating experience. New furniture, new décor, new everything—and who doesn't like a fresh start?

Of course, it's possible to get carried away. Since these are affordable homes, you may have a little extra money to spend on furniture. Resist the urge to splurge! Spend some time thinking about your new space. There are certain pieces of furniture that just don't work well in tight quarters. If you're out shopping, we recommend giving these items a pass.

Oversized Items

Space is your most limited resource here, so be sure to use it wisely. Sprawling sofas and large tables are probably going to take up more room than they're worth.

Sharp-Cornered Tables or Shelves

No way around it, walking through a crowded manufactured home can be a bit of an obstacle course, especially for guests that aren't used to narrow walkways. A coffee table with right-angled corners is a spiky, ground-hugging trap for unwary knees. Round tables are more appropriate in manufactured affordable homes.

Always be mindful of how much space you have. You may have to pass on certain furniture pieces, but in the long run you'll appreciate the extra space.
