Decorating your camper can be a fun and rewarding experience. It can make the RV feel more like home and better suit your family’s personal style. Below are a few tips to get you started.
Begin With a Clean Slate
Before you start decorating, it’s important to give your RV a good cleaning. This will help you get a better sense of the space and what you have to work with. Clear out any clutter that doesn’t belong in the camper, make note of the items you’ll bring on a trip and how much space they take up, and so on.
Define Your Design Style
Think about what kind of design style you want for your camper. Do you want it to be bright and airy? Cozy and inviting? Modern and sleek? If you aren’t sure, spend some time looking at various interior design approaches for inspiration.
Once you have a general idea of the look you’re going for, it’ll be easier to choose specific decorations items that fit that style.
Create Multiple Projects
RV decorating can seem like a giant project. But if you break it down into smaller tasks, it becomes more approachable. Give yourself enough time to do each project so that you can avoid becoming overwhelmed.
For example, maybe you want to make your time inside the camper more cozy. Your project list could include adding more lighting, getting more colorful pillows and blankets for the living room, and adding a stick-on tile backsplash for the kitchen.
Choose Budget-Friendly Approaches
RV decorating doesn’t need to be expensive. There are many ways to decorate your motorhome on a budget. You can look online for ideas or find books with do-it-yourself tips.
For example, make decorations instead of buying them. Depending on the ages of your children, this can even be a fun family project.
Another approach is to shop secondhand. Visit estate sales, garage sales, and thrift stores to see if you can get furniture and other items at a low price.
You may even find items for free. Simply check out out community groups, such as Buy Nothing, that encourage giving away items for free.
Add Some Personal Touches
One of the best things about decorating an RV is that you can really make it your own. Add personal touches like family photos, mementos from your travels, and anything else that will make the space feel more like home.
Choose Versatile Pieces
Focus on items that can serve multiple purposes.
For example, instead of opting for a traditional coffee table, try using a colorful folding tray table that can be used both inside and outside the RV. The pop of color will brighten up the inside of the camper and your “front yard” at the campground.
