Nothing changes the look of a room faster than updating your windows treatments, especially in smaller mobile homes where space is limited and you need to give the illusion of more room. Try raising your curtain rods, switching out dark curtains for a more sheer look, or ditching the curtains all together and opting for standard blinds or roller blinds (like the woven ones shown below) to change the entire look of your space.
