Every year, the Manufactured Housing Institute honors those who excel in various areas of manufactured home designs. Awards are given for the best single wide design, the top interior design, to the best multi-section.
If you aren’t familiar with the Manufactured Housing Institute, it is the only national trade organization representing all segments of the factory-built housing industry. MHI members include home builders, retailers, community operators, lenders, suppliers, and affiliated state organizations. Not only do they recognize the top designs of manufactured homes, but they also honor retail centers, land lease communities, suppliers, and lenders, all of who play an important role in creating manufactured homes that are beyond the basics.

It’s safe to say the manufactured home designs have come a long way over the years while still keeping some of the long used features of the past. Transom windows, accent walls, and trey ceilings all add character to newer models and give them a unique look. Features such as built-ins have long been a staple in manufactured homes, however the newer floating look gives them new life. We have to say, we love seeing all the new designs and interiors that builders come up with! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for manufactured home designs in the years to come.
As always, thank you for reading Mobile Home Living.
