Modular home kitchen counter remodeled

An added benefit of a mobile home is that they are very flexible when it comes to remodeling. Mobile home kitchen remodels can be done for a fraction of the price of stand-alone houses, especially if you’re strategic with your planning. Your typical American kitchen remodels land at around $20,000, but modular home kitchen remodels can produce the same level of upgrades for as little as $1,000.

To help you get the most out of your kitchen remodel, we gathered together our best tips that will make your new kitchen the best it can be while staying within your budget. 

Consider your mobile home’s kitchen layout

To get started, you first need to consider what you’re working with. Examine the current layout of your mobile home kitchen and think outside of the box. A little imagination can help you reinvent your entire kitchen by removing some items and replacing them with new storage or appliances.

It would also benefit you to consider how you can rearrange your kitchen. Rearranging instead of replacing can knock down costs and help your kitchen remodel be less stressful. Once you dive into replacing aspects of your kitchen, you may start to dream up ideas that would require you to reconfigure plumbing or structural elements of your home, like kitchen walls.

Simplicity is a wonderful feature that comes with mobile homes. Embrace the simplicity of your home when you’re planning a kitchen remodel - it will benefit you and work in favor of your space.

Mobile home kitchen island ideas

A great way to add some dimension to your mobile home kitchen, as well as needed storage, is by adding an island. This can sound daunting at first, but there are plenty of ways you can easily add this coveted kitchen element to your home. 

A popular way to add a mobile home kitchen island is by using old cabinets. Cabinets may not look large enough to create an island, but they’re quite large. Using an old dresser as a kitchen island has also been done in the past by mobile homeowners. Just sand down the old wood, add a fresh coat of complementary paint, and there you go - you have yourself an island.

If you have the time and additional room in your budget, another great way to utilize a kitchen island is to install a sink within it. Star Mobile offers new kitchen sinks for your mobile home kitchen remodel. If you want to add some more new items to your kitchen, you might want to install a new kitchen faucet. Star Mobile knows a thing or two about mobile home faucets and we offer a wide range of styles to fit your every need.

Painting your mobile home walls

If you want a low-maintenance remodel, sometimes all you have to do is add a fresh coat of paint to your mobile home’s walls. New paint can make your kitchen look new, even when you haven’t made any recent upgrades. We don’t want to mislead you, though. Painting can be a laborious task, especially in kitchens where you have to be sure to get every nook and cranny. However, some new color may be all you need. 

Painting is also a great addition to a full kitchen remodel or upgrade to your kitchen. Changing your kitchen faucets, or adding a skylight, tweaks the style of your kitchen area. A fresh coat of paint with a complementary color can make your remodel feel complete.

Refinish or replace your mobile home kitchen cabinets

Kitchen cabinets can be one of the most expensive parts of traditional kitchen remodeling projects. If you have the budget, consider replacing your kitchen cabinets for a new look. Also, keep in mind that you can achieve that new feeling without replacing your cabinets. Many people opt to repaint and refinish their mobile home kitchen cabinets to attain a specific style for their remodel.

Whenever you start making changes to your kitchen cabinets, always consider your range hood. You want to account for the space needed for your range hood to make sure your new or existing one fits. If you want to install a new range hood, Star Mobile has you covered. We have several range hoods and corresponding materials that are already made to fit into your mobile home’s configurations. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

General mobile home kitchen upgrades

It doesn’t hurt to focus on the details during your mobile home kitchen remodel. New light switch covers and receptacles can be small details that, in combination with other elements of a kitchen remodel, make a noticeable difference. 

Installing a spray hose for your kitchen sink is a handy helper for your food prep and clean-up, too. This option is beneficial for those who want to reconfigure elements of their kitchen without having to gut it out completely.

A kitchen skylight is yet another great addition to consider for your mobile home kitchen remodel. That natural light filtering into your kitchen can help illuminate your space during the day with no added electrical costs. 

All of these small additions are great to consider putting on your to-do list during your remodeling project. Every one of them can be done at a reasonable cost that’s much cheaper than your average American home kitchen renovation!
