Take your mobile home from trashy to classy. Trailer Wrap, an architectural exercise by University of Colorado students, could bring affordable style to the often maligned trailer. The idea is to provide an economical kit for people to makeover their own trailers and improve their home environment.
Implications - The idea for the Trailer Wrap was to create an item that would address the needs of comfort, efficiency and aesthetics. The featured image shows a home that is absolutely beautiful and I'd bet that you would have never guessed it was the inside of a trailer home! With this new makeover kit, trailers and their owners may be looked at more differently by such a judgmental society.
