Decorating Your Portable Home? Get Great Decor Tips Here!

Portable homes appeal to a lot of people due to their many benefits, but they come with some challenges.

One thing that people often struggle with is decorating their tiny home. The lack of space may be unfamiliar to some people, and it's not easy to fit in everything you want. With the right approach, however, you could end up with a welcoming and comfortable tiny house in no time.

Let's go over some key tips that could help you when it comes to decorating a portable home.

Light Colors

Tiny homes are already tight on space, but there are some things you can do to make them feel larger. One of the most effective is using light colors. Light shades on walls, ceilings, and even furniture can create the illusion of space, making your tiny home feel that much more roomy.

You don't have to go with stark white. Find colors that fit well with your personal decor style. Off-white, grey, sand, and stone are all popular options.

Think Vertically

When space is limited, it can be easy for things to become cluttered. As such, you want to use what you have effectively.

Rather than covering every surface with decor, try to use vertical space as best you can. Using vertical space helps draw the eye toward the ceiling and can make a small space feel taller.

Multi-Function Pieces

It's important to get the most out of your tiny home decor, so think about anything that can have more than one use. This will allow you to reduce how many items you have, helping you save space.

A staircase, for example, can have closets or drawers built in. A foldout bed is another great option. You want to maximize every inch of space, so keep this in mind when furnishing your tiny home.

Plenty of Natural Light

Like light colors, natural light will add the illusion of more space. On top of that, it creates a more comforting environment. You want to let as much natural light in as you can, so try to avoid blocking windows with furniture or other items.

Bear in mind windows may take up wall space that could be used for other decor. Skylights are ideal as you're less likely to want to use ceiling space. Mirrors can also add more light, so you may want to think about adding somewhere you can.

Invest in Miniature Appliances

You'll need some appliances, but they don't need to be huge. Compact refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, and more can help you save a lot of space. In most cases, opting for smaller appliances will save you money too.
