May 26, 2026

As more people are learning about the time and budget savings that manufactured homes have to offer, a common question we get is whether you can customize a manufactured home. 

There are many ways you can customize a manufactured home, like adding a porch, putting an entertainment center in your living room, or choosing pre-designed floorplan options for the kitchen and bathroom depending on the model. 

Keep in mind that although you won’t be able to change the overall size of the home or the dimensions of each room, you’ll have lots of customization options to make your home uniquely yours. 

You’ll have lots of things to choose from, especially when it comes to picking out the décor colors on the interior and exterior of your home! Check out the most important customization options for manufactured homes.

Add a porch to your manufactured home

There’s nothing like sitting on your porch while drinking coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening! Enhance the curb appeal of your home and add space for outdoor living with a front or back porch.

Your independent retailer will be able to give you more information on whether a porch is available for the model you selected. They can also point you in the direction of homes that offer this upgrade.

Most porches are built onsite by a general contractor or manufactured home installation company after the home is delivered to the final property. The independent retailer you’re working with will be able to connect you with people in the area they recommend. 

The exact size of your porch will vary based on the model, but a common size is approximately 6 feet by 11 feet for a single-section manufactured home. You can also choose from covered or uncovered options depending on the model.

Check out these popular Champion Homes manufactured models with porches:

  • D1668B (This model has two porches!)

  • Ravenwood (Check out the massive back deck!) 

  • Olivia (You’ll love the covered back porch!)

Personalize your manufactured home with pre-designed floorplans

As they say, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s important that yours is just right!

Some manufactured home models will come with multiple kitchen floorplan options for you to choose from. These are pre-made designs with different layouts to streamline the homebuying process and save you time. They’ll feature different layouts for things like the location of the appliances, while keeping the overall dimensions of the kitchen the same.

Depending on the model, you may also have different choices available for the size of your kitchen island. Most homes come with a kitchen island, and sometimes there are options to make them larger depending on the floorplan.

Similar to kitchens, many manufactured homes will come with pre-made bathroom layouts for you to choose from. These design options will come with different layouts for the shower and vanity, while keeping the overall dimensions of the bathroom consistent.

Pre-made floorplans are usually only available for the primary bathroom, but some models may offer options for the secondary bathrooms, too.

Many manufactured models also have flex rooms that you can use as a tech space, home office, den, or an additional bedroom.

Talking with your independent manufactured home retailer will be a key part of the process. They’ll give you all the information you need about which customization options are available for the home you’re interested in, including any pre-designed floorplan options.

You can also search for manufactured homes based on the features that are most important to you, like an island, a walk-in pantry, a standalone bathtub, or a home office. Check out our Find a Home tool for more information.

Can I Customize the Colors in My Manufactured Home?

One of the most enjoyable parts of buying a manufactured home is choosing the colors and finishes for many areas inside and outside your home.

Your manufactured home retailer will show you all the options available for your home. They’ll help you select color and finishes from designer-recommended palettes for your style and budget!

The home you’re purchasing will come with “good,” “better,” and “best” options for each customizable element. The “good” option will be a durable, cost-effective selection, the “better” option will blend affordability with upgraded materials, and the “best” option will be the most premium offering.
