Are you thinking about buying a used RV or camper and hitting the road? Before you go, try out these Pinterest-worthy decorating ideas.
Few things are more exciting than hitting the road in a used RV. If you’re planning a road trip, why not ride in style? These five fantastic decorating ideas will turn your new-to-you camper into a stylish home on the road.
Hand-Paint a Simple Mural
You don’t have to be a professional artist to spruce up your used RV with a hand-painted mural. For those who don’t feel up for a full-scale project, choose a smaller wall space and consider using stencils to create the perfect mural design.
Choose hues that match the color scheme for the rest of your RV to make your mural truly Pinterest-worthy. You can also add splashes of bold color to draw attention to your beautiful new work of art and add some extra visual interest.
Install a Tile Backsplash in Your Camper
RV kitchens can be boring, but they don’t need to be. Installing a tile backsplash above the oven will allow you to incorporate more color and texture, increasing the space’s visual appeal.
Instead of sticking with subdued hues, consider a bolder color for your backsplash. It won’t just look better; darker colors also make it easier to keep everything looking clean and beautiful.
Invest in a Lighting Upgrade for Your RV
Used campers often have less-than-ideal interior lighting. Instead of viewing this as a setback, consider it an opportunity to get creative.
Adding string lights around the perimeter of the ceiling can create a cozy ambiance, and battery-powered sconces or ceiling lights will make it easier to see when you’re reading or working while looking chic.
Brighten Up the Camper Walls, Ceiling, and Cabinets
Many older RVs come with wood cabinets, and some have dated color choices for the walls. While adding touches of bolder colors like kitchen backsplashes and murals is a great idea, the smaller quarters of an RV/camper mean you’ll want to keep the walls and cabinets light.
Painting the walls, ceiling, and cabinets white can create the illusion of more space by reflecting both natural and artificial light. As a bonus, white walls also look great in photos if you keep them clean.
Bring the Outside In
Most people don’t want to worry about houseplants while on the road, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add natural touches to your RV’s decorating scheme. While keeping the cabinets light-colored is best, wood flooring looks beautiful in almost any RV.
Consider investing in high-quality fake plants to take things to the next level. They won’t require watering or make a mess all over your floor but will add extra visual interest and help you bring the outside in. Plus, they’re lighter than real plants!
Don’t Be Afraid to Get Creative with Your RV or Camper
These are just five simple ideas you can implement to make your used RV look truly Pinterest-worthy, not just for photos but for making daily life a little more enjoyable.
Don’t be afraid to get creative and express your unique style when decorating your RV, even if it means breaking a few rules. Your camper is a home on wheels, and it should feel that way.
