When you’re on the road, it’s a great feeling when your camper feels like home. Decorating ideas for travel trailers or RVs can make it feel this way. No matter which you choose, campers come with fairly standard and overall boring interiors. Give your camper a personal touch to make the place feel more like home. Having a personalized space, no matter where you park, is a great feeling.

Keep in mind your RV décor needs to be light to keep from going overweight. In some cases, you can reduce your camper weight by replacing some of the dull décor with a lightweight modern style. If you think something may be too heavy, best to leave it behind. For more info check out our article called 20 Best Ways to Reduce RV Weight .

Here are 19 decorating ideas for travel trailers and RVs to get you started.

Why Do All RV Interiors Look The Same?

Aesthetics are usually not the primary point throughout the manufacturing process. One of the closest comparisons to RVs you can make is a yacht. After all, yachts are nothing if not RVs on water. Yachts tend to have a refined, bougie, impressive aesthetic, whereas RVs tend to be more practical in design. 

That’s not to say that the question isn’t a little bit disingenuous. RV floorplans are similar across manufacturers but only similar within their respective classes. You will find that long fifth-wheels almost always share identical floorplans, with a few things changed here and there. The same goes for Class As, Bs, Cs, travel trailers, and teardrops. 

RVs are also victims of trends. As of right now, there are nine or ten trends, depending on where you look, that encompass each space on an RV. For example, the latest trend across the board is the use of lighting in an aesthetically artsy fashion. Trends of this nature often give the impression that RV interiors look the same.

Even the newer more modern interiors can look the same so decorating ideas for travel trailers will continue.  

1. Paint the Interior Walls

Painting your camper walls is a great way to add a personal touch without worrying about going overweight. Choosing your color scheme is a great way to make your camper feel more like a home away from home.

Softer lighter colors can make a small space like a camper feel bigger than it really is. Adding an accent wall with a darker color can make a small room feel larger too!

2. Add Throw Pillows And Blankets to Accessorize Your Travel Trailer

Adding throw pillows and blankets to your RV bedroom or living space makes your RV more comfortable and they look great too. Decorating ideas for travel trailers don’t have to be expensive.

Choose a theme for your blankets and throw pillows that fit your camper design. Make your throw pillows bold and bright to liven up the space. Throw pillows and blankets are an easy inexpensive and fun travel trailer decorating idea!

3. Install Wall Decals Inside Your Camper Trailer

Wall decals give a space a unique look and allow you to express your individual style. I would put up wall Fathead wall decals of the Baltimore Ravens but Susan would kill me! Choose something small and light like stickers or get creative and paint your own with stencils. There are many wall decal options to choose from, or you can create your own.

4. Use Peel and Stick Flooring Inside Your RV or Travel Trailer

Similar to wall decals, peel-and-stick tile or wood flooring can add style to your place without a significant investment. Accent a kitchen wall with peel-and-stick tile sheets for a personal touch. Peel and stick sheets are easy to use and inexpensive. You can also use them on the ceiling for an easy wood plank ceiling look.

5. Maybe It’s Time for Some Cool Clocks to Decorate Your Travel Trailer

There are some cool clock designs that can add character to your camper. Not only are clocks decorative but they are also practical at the same time. Hanging a lightweight basic clock above the kitchen area can make a place feel more like home. If your camper has a theme, just choose a clock to go along with the theme.

6. Use Decorative Towels to Enhance the Look of Your RV Bathroom or Kitchen

Decorative hand and dish towels are great to have when camping. Why not choose fun patterns and designs to match the décor of your camper? Add a pop of color to your kitchen or bathroom with bright-colored towels.

7. New Curtains Can Dress Up Your Camper Trailer Decor

Your travel trailer or RV probably came with a standard set of boring curtains or valances. Change things up by replacing them with new colorful designs. It’s incredible how much a fresh set of curtains can brighten up a place. Add your curtains into the pattern theme you choose for decorating your camper.

8. Flameless Candles Can Add Ambiance to Your RV

It’s tough to have candles in a small space like a camper. With flameless candles , you can set the mood without worrying about setting your camper on fire. Flameless candles add great ambiance and soft lighting inside and outside while camping.

9. Roll Out the Welcome Mat

Having a personalized welcome mat when you walk into your camper is a great touch. Not only does it add personal style to your camper, but it helps keep the dirt out. It’s always a constant battle keeping dirt, sand, and mud out of the camper while camping. This can also be a part of the decorating theme you choose.

10. Wallpaper Maps Make a Great RV Travel Decor Idea

Another way to add color and flair to your camper is by hanging maps of places you’ve been. Choose some of your favorite places and use the maps of those areas to decorate your walls. This way you’ll never leave home without a map of where you’re going when you lose cell service!

11. Install New Cabinet Knobs in Your Trailer’s Kitchen and Bath

Installing cabinet knobs is easy to do and will make your camper’s bath and kitchen cabinets feel like new. Shop around at your local hardware store and pick out cabinet knobs and handles that you like. Swap those out with what your camper currently has. A small touch goes a long way to making a place feel homey. Cabinet handles don’t have to be boring, pick out something fun!

12. Adorn Your Travel Trailer for the Holidays

Have fun and decorate your travel trailer or RV for the holidays! Susan’s favorite holiday to decorate for is Halloween! But you can decorate for whatever holidays you like. And Christmas lights don’t need to be used only at Christmas time. They can provide excellent soft lighting while camping at any time of the year.

String lights around your living space or bedroom to give your camper a good ambiance or provide accent lighting. Lamps can be rather heavy and only provide light in a single area. Plus you have to stow them away when on the road. Christmas lights are much lighter and provide even lighting.

13. Install Bunk Beds to Gain Space for Your RV

Stacking beds in your camper gives you more space for activities. You’ll have more space to sleep and hang out with the family. Plus, bunk beds can add a cozy cabin feel to your camper. Take the cabin feel with you wherever you go.

14. Install Hanging Wicker Baskets in Your Travel Trailer

Rather than building shelves, you could hang wicker baskets on the walls for added storage. These are great for bathroom items or pantry storage. Shelves can be heavy, and that weight adds up quickly. Baskets are a much lighter option. Plus, everything will fall off of a shelf!

15. Install New Upholstery to Update Your Camper or RV

Most campers are going to come with pretty boring upholstery on the dining booth and other seating areas. Reupholster your living space with a pattern of your choosing. Bright colors help liven up a camper. This should also fit into the décor and theme of your camper.

16. Decorate Your Camper Trailer with a Coffee Mug Set

If you’re camping, you should be enjoying a cup of coffee in the sunrise every morning. A mug set is a great way to show your personality in something that will be useful every day. If your camper is going to be stationary for a while, set up a display so that your mugs can be decorative and functional.

17. Paint the Exterior of Your RV, Travel Trailer or 5th Wheel

While there’s plenty of decorating to be done on the inside of the camper, the exterior is what everyone else sees. A simple stripe down the side of a plain camper can really add style to your camper. Be careful about going too overboard on the outside. Sometimes simple is better.

18. Spruce Up Your RV Bathroom with a Decorative Shower Curtain

If your shower curtain at home isn’t boring, why should your camper shower curtain have to be? A decorative shower curtain is a great way to personalize your bathroom without a big investment. Pick out a curtain that matches the towels you have for the bathroom.

19. Install A Custom Neon Sign to Create Your Personalized Space

Custom neon signs create a warm and cozy lighting atmosphere for your RV. Customize your favorite quotes or words of passion to hang in your RV’s bedroom or on the walls and experience what feels like home. No matter where you are or what time of day it is you have a colorful light that illuminates you like a real home.

Can You Paint The Exterior Of An RV?

You can certainly paint the exterior of an RV. However, it’s not the job that it reads like on paper. Painting an RV is a labor-intensive task that requires the right ambient temps and weather, a lot of prep work, decal removal, the right paint, and the right finish. 

It’s a meticulous process. However, if done right, it will make your RV stand out like a brilliant candle flame against a midnight sky. To offer an early answer to the next question, it often raises the resale value of the RV as well. Exterior aesthetics are the first things used-RV consumers look at. 

This is especially true if you maintain and even improve the decals. Decals give the underlying paint scheme its three-dimensional pop, and are the primary, stand-out feature on an RV, regardless of the class. 

Does Renovating An RV Hurt Resale Value?

Well, this depends on what you’re renovating. If you go to work on a 2018 fight-wheel, probably not much. However, if you take a completely stripped-out classic camper that might bring in $1,000 bucks on a good day, you can easily sell it for a lot more than it was worth before. 

Renovating an RV can even be thought of as a downgrade, depending on what you’re doing and even if you’re improving something or think you are. For instance, if you renovate an RV to suit your own needs, you can’t expect prospective buyers to share in those same needs. 

Your experience plays a role as well. You can always hire a professional to renovate, however, if the renovation is not too extensive, the cost of the professional may completely offset the profit from the sale you’re planning to make.RV renovation should be a careful and deliberate consideration prior to getting started. 

Extra Tips For Decorating Your Travel Trailer or RV

Choose a Theme and Stick With It

Choose a theme for decorating the interior of your camper. Themes give the space a personal touch and a homey feel. Campers are small spaces, so if you want to go with a theme, keep that theme consistent throughout the camper. Keep your theme in mind when choosing colors, wall decals, towels, throw pillows, etc.

Add Storage to Your RV or Travel Trailer While Adding Decorations at the Same Time

Why choose form over function when you can have both! Added storage is always a plus in a camper. When you hit the road, it’s best to have everything tucked away. This way, you don’t worry about things moving around while driving.

Think about how your decorating can also incorporate some form of storage. Add storage compartments under the bed or under couch cushions, for example. This is a great way to tuck items out of the way until you need them.

Final Words About Decorating Ideas For Travel Trailers

Having a customized space on the road makes your RV or travel trailer feel like your own. No matter where you go, you always feel like you are in your home away from home. Happy Decorating!

Is it really okay to paint the interior?!?

Yup it sure is…

We feel like we have a hotel on wheels so we call it our Mobile Marriott. Since it’s our third one we abbreviate it as MM III.

I love to put up the beautiful written peel and stick Wall decals. I buy mine from dollar tree! Now I think they’re $1.25. But they have stayed up on the doors for about three or four years now. Light on the walls and light on the Wallet!

Great ideas. Thank you

Great article Mike & Susan. Gotta get me one of those wicker baskets. 🙂

I just aquired a 1971 open road my son and I are planning on fixing it up, so you’re ideas help allot. We’ve already decided to call it Dessert Rose, so the inside theme will be southwestern.

I’m curious about the couch in the picture. We’re considering ditching the couch that came with our RV in favor of something more comfortable. Where did y’all find that? Thanks!

Love the great ideas about decorating a travel trailer, I am thinking of doing some of these and thank you for the great suggestions.

Glad you liked the article!

30 Stylish Camper Decor Ideas From RV Pros That Will Transform Your RV

File this under the category of good problems to have. You have a camper. You have some dreamy camper decor ideas. But you don’t want to spend hours of your time to DIY and Pinterest everything. We all want that swoon-worthy, modern RV, right? The one that makes your original RV interior unrecognizable – like the picture above. Me too.

But truth be told, we have a long list of how we want to spend our time, and lengthy hours of RV renovation isn’t exactly at the top. That said, maybe you want to add some personality. Just with the least amount of effort. You know, the things that take basically no time, but make an impact.

By the way, we can’t take credit for all these ideas. Some were born out of our own scrappiness. But others come from our fellow RVers that have some super great ideas. Camper decor ideas too efficient not to pass along.

1. Peel and Stick Backsplash

2. wire baskets for every kind of storage need, related: 20 perfect gifts for rv owners.

• 4. Mix and Match Colors and Patterns
• 5. Word Art
• 6. Coffee as Decor

7. Color Pops with Pillows

8. magnetic knife holder, 9. add mirrors, 10. hide your stove, 11. add a plant or two, 12. chalkboard art, 13. string lighting, 14. new hardware, 15. name your camper, 16. stylish window treatments, 17. add a chandelier, 18. bold wallpaper, related: 10 fun rv accessories you won’t find on every list.

• 20. Decorative Towels

21. Strategically Placed Framed Art

• 22. Blankets Can Be Decor

23. Set the Table

24. seasonal decor.

• 25. Front Door Makeover
• 26. Spray Paint the Countertops
• 27. Fancy Command Hooks

28. Shiplap Wallpaper

• 29. Organized Shelves

30. A Pretty Little Rug

Peel and stick tile can transform a shower or kitchen in a snap. The Southern Glamper used it and whoa, does it make a difference. The before/after pictures prove how backsplash can make small RV spaces light, bright, and airy. Couldn’t agree more. Peel and stick tiles are affordable, super quick to install, and make a big impact. One of the simplest upgrades you can make to your camper.

They take 2 seconds to hang and totally give off farmhouse vibes. Ground breaking, right? One of the best ways to maximize space in a tiny home is by making the most of your walls. We purchased several of these toy storage baskets and use them everywhere. Yes, they are toy storage baskets. And yes, if you have kids, they will do just that: store toys. But they also work great in the kitchen for fruit and veggie storage. Electronics storage. Keeping clutter at bay. The options are kind of endless here.

3. No Sew Cushion Covers

One of the biggest eyesores for your camper – likely the cushions. They always come in that standard RV brown. You can add so much personality by switching out the cushion fabric. Except, doing that is typically 1) time consuming or 2) expensive. Luckily, Married to a Mowery found a clever no sew option that you can do in minutes. Three simple items – choose your own fabric.

4. Mix and Match Colors and Patterns – But Keep Them Complementary

Adding splashes of color and dropping in some textures can make for dramatic effect. But the key is to make sure everything complements one another. The Tidbits website shows that simple color and design selections can make all the difference. Their triple bunks pack a lot of personality punch, but in a tasteful modern way. When purchasing your accessories, look for fun colors and patterns that match the rest of your decor.

5. Add Some Letters

Another great way to show personality: with your words. The Happy Glamper has an awesome tutorial to make a DIY Letter Ledge. It’s gorgeous, modern, and unique. If you want the fast approach, you can buy pre-made ledges and letters (or the ever classic letterboard). Change out the phrases every so often and boom – instant refresh.

6. Make Coffee Part of Your Decor

Coffeepots that aren’t bulky AF. One of the camper decor ideas we applied to our own setup. We got the Chemex pour over coffeemaker . It’s dual purpose – it makes coffee (the obvious), but it also looks super elegant on your countertop. It’s also still functional if you’re camping with no electric hookups. Just don’t forget to stow it before you drive off.

It’s amazing what a simple throw pillow will do. Figure out what aesthetic you’re going for and then get some throw pillows to match. @heads.east.tails.west is the perfect example of how adding some color pops and textures with your pillows can make a huge difference. Can’t get enough of the mix of patterns, textures, and colors that all seem to go perfectly together.

Save space by repurposing your wall for knife storage. @the.wild.fortenberrys has some enviable RV inspo, including the modern magnetic knife holder. Clever hack – they even use theirs to store tools while in use. But more importantly, magnetic knife holders are known to be a more hygienic way to store knives than the knife blocks, which can get wet and harbor bacteria.

Mirrors can always make a place look fancier and they make small spaces look bigger (a major plus when you’re living in a tiny home). This bedroom mirror from @prvbsthirtyonegirl has major gold vibes that blends well with the other fixtures. Plus, it utilizes space that otherwise may go to waste. If you want to spiffy a place up, add a mirror. One of the easiest RV decor ideas you can incorporate into your space. But packs a punch.

Our own invention that was largely born out of the need for a cutting board (without wanting to give up space for a cutting board). We built a wooden stove cover that doubles not only as a cutting board, but extra counter space. Why waste precious space when you can capitalize on it while your stove isn’t in use. It also can add to the visual appeal. Easy to make, but you can also buy one .

Plants can freshen up just about any space. This is a quick win if you’re low on time. Buy a plant or two and it will immediately add some warmth to your tiny home. @theflippintilbys is a family of 7 living out of an RV and they crushed the decorating game. They used a snake plant to liven up their space. We’re suckers for snake plants.

One trend that can transform an area in a hurry is a chalkboard. Flaunt your personality while showing off those rustic vibes (fitting for a camper, right?). @ourlifeonlaketime used chalkboard paint for their fridge and we’re now convinced everyone should be chalkboard painting their fridges.

I think we can all agree those terrible lights that come standard in most RVs are…less than desirable. It may take more than a few minutes to completely change those out. But if you don’t want to invest the time, get string lights or fairy lights instead. Take @purposeblog for example – their lighting game is on point and they show how string lights can be added to kick your space up a notch.

Saw this little corner coffee area from @wearethehawleys and couldn’t be more in love. Their tip is to update your camper’s hardware for a fast and easy camper decor idea. It will revitalize the room, making your little home modern and chic – without too much effort.

Whether you choose to post all of your adventures on social media or not, naming your camper is a rite of passage for your new home. We got some basic letter stickers and displayed our RV’s name in all her glory. It’s a fun personal touch and a chance to get creative. And if you do post your adventures, hit us up @familyonstandby so we can be friends. And so we can sneak a peak at all of your camper decor ideas.

One of the biggest focal points in your camper just so happens to be one of the easiest things to change: the windows! Or rather, the window treatments. You were probably supplied with a perfectly plain shade, which means…there’s a lot of room for improvement. We’re partial to this window treatment from @phillyjawnsgooutdoors because 1) they have the same camper as us and 2) we can’t get over how awesome it looks. But also because, their window shades totally match the aztec vibe and it all works together.

If you just can’t stand those plain RV lights that come standard, but you don’t have the time to switch out all the bulbs and hardware, chandelier to the rescue. We came across this DIY yarn chandelier from @rv.family.reno . It disguises the original lighting and adds a little glamour to your setup. But if you’re not totally keen on DIYing your own chandelier, you can always buy a similar one on Etsy – making this one of the faster camper decor ideas.

Lighten up those walls with some cheery wallpaper. We love the adventure themed wallpaper @5th_wheel_fam chose for their bunk area. It’s fun and colorful. If hanging wallpaper the old fashioned way doesn’t sound super appealing, I feel you and you’re in luck. Peel and stick wallpaper. Cut, peel, stick. Done!

19. Curtains For More Than Just Windows

Whether you have a separate bedroom, or you want to create your own makeshift bedroom (like us), curtains can be a great room divider and alternative to regular ol’ doors. These pink curtains/room dividers from @leeannieblivin are not only functional, they add to the style. We used the same concept to create a master bedroom area in our one room camper, but now I’m thinking maybe pink curtains are the way to go.

20. Use Decorative Towels

Who knew something as simple as bath towels could make a strong design statement? @wearedanandsam use Turkish towels in their bathroom and we’re in love. They totally complement the vibe. And if you’re not ready to part ways with your fluffy bath towels, you can always squirrel them away somewhere for non display purposes.

You can put art there? Behind the bathroom faucet. Apparently, @rvfixerupper does and other people who know how to energize a room. If you want to liven up your space with art, try placing it in some unconventional spots. It’s a great use of space and it will give your room new life. Plus, it’s easy to switch different art in and out whenever you need a change.

22. Blankets Are Decor Too

If you need an excuse to buy just one more blanket, this is it. The simple act of throwing a blanket on your couch or bed can transform the room. We love how @twinning_in_our_5thwheel uses blankets to accessorize. They are perfectly matched to the color scheme and add texture to the space. A big fan here.

If you have kids, good luck getting this one to stick. But it’s worth a shot. @the_ramblr_rv uses a patterned tablecloth and pair of placemats to kick their table decor up a notch. I almost want to set the table for once.

The most festive of our camper decor ideas – bring on the holiday cheer. Whatever the holiday, your little home on wheels is the perfect canvas. @allisongoesplaces knocked it out of the park with their winter wonderland. This doesn’t even look like an RV, it’s so good. *Instantly falls in love with that fireplace*

25. Give Your Front Door a Facelift

Why stop at the interior if you can create some serious curb appeal right outside the front door? The most obvious design choices here involve a welcome mat and some kind of wreath. But @slo.gathered.home took it a step further by adding a hanging planter on their awning. Genius! Also, we just recently discovered Etsy designers have some of the coolest plants . So that’s another thing we’re in love with.

26. If All Else Fails, Spray Paint Your Countertops

So…just learned spray painting countertops is a thing – mind blown. Thanks to some brilliant design inspo from @flippingfarrell , you can revitalize your kitchen counter without a massive overhaul. All you need is a little stone coat spray paint – with a coat of epoxy for good measure. It looks upscale. It’s affordable. And it won’t take nearly the time investment as removing old countertops and completely replacing.

27. Use the Fancy Command Hooks

One of the things you’ll quickly discover as an RV owner – command hooks are the solution to everything. They can be used for basically any scenario and if you’re like us, you’ll be buying them in bulk. But , the key is to splurge on the decorative command hooks . Exaggerating a little bit here, because they don’t cost much more than the standard white ones. But they will look a heck of a lot better and this is one of the easiest upgrades you can make. In this example from RV Inspiration , command hooks are used to hold up curtains!

Shiplap is a trendy way to up your design game. But, heavy wood planks don’t always translate well into RV life when lighter is often better. Enter shiplap wallpaper. Not only is it super lightweight since it’s paper, it’s much quicker to hang. @barefootdetour used it in their camper remodel (behind the fun copper cups) and it adds texture to the space – without actually adding texture…if that makes sense.

29. Shelving to Keep Clutter Off Tables and Counters

Guilty confession…if we don’t have a spot for everything, it will find a home on our kitchen table. We can’t be the only ones with a kitchen table that doubles as a mailbox, right? Our solution, make sure everything has a spot so it can’t pile up all over. Called to Wander uses simple ikea shelves over the sink for their soaps, which keeps them off the countertops. Any chance you get to put up some shelving, do it! It can add to the decor while keeping clutter at bay.

Rugs can make a space. They add color, texture, pattern, and are never a bad idea. Finding the perfect rug can be difficult for a camper, especially a small camper when space is at a minimum. But when you find it, that rug will complete your look. @ourvanquest uses a rug in front of their sink and it’s perfectly sized for the space. A stylish addition to your design that’s as easy as shopping on Amazon.

If you’re anything like us, the idea of remodeling an RV is just plain overwhelming. Never ending projects. You’re already busy. Maybe kids are running around and it’s impossible to get anything done. You are most certainly not alone. We’re right there with you and that’s why we looked for only the camper decor ideas that can be done in short order. Like an hour or less. We felt all these ideas fit the bill while making an impact. But we want to hear from you.

Which of these camper decor ideas do you most want to try?

25 Beautiful RV Decorating Ideas (for Interior, bedroom, kitchen, etc)

by Barbara McCoy

www.rvtalk.net is reader supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Let’s explore 25 ways to decorate an RV or Camper. Who says our RV cannot reflect our style?  Whether you just want to add small details or larger projects, you can decorate your RV to feel comfortable, just like home. When you walk into your room at a hotel or resort, you immediately know if you will feel like you are on vacation or just another work conference. Walking into your RV should always make you want to stay and enjoy yourself as long as possible. 

We have ideas no matter if your style is Farmhouse Chic, Rustic, Industrial, Whimsical, or Minimalist. We know there is limited space, but there are still ways to add personality without losing space and functionality. Choosing functional decor is essential. 

Let’s dive right in.

1. Add Wallpaper

2. personality with pillows, 3. baskets and bins, 4. curtains, curtains, curtains, 5. knobs, pegs, and hooks, 6. fixtures, 9. blankets and throws, 10.  art, 11. hanging your towels as decor to free up storage, 12. light fixtures and lamps, 13. lighting accents as decor. string lights, 14. incorporating your appliances into the decor., 15. mirrors, 16. make lifestyle choices decor: coffee, tea, music, office, faith, humor, 17. add vinyl and lettering, 18. furniture covers , 19. functional furniture, 20. decorating your entry, 21. bedding, 22. plants and flowers, 23. countertop makeovers.

This RV owner likes boats. They chose a bold wallpaper to represent this. Adding wallpaper can take a space and change its vibe quickly. Pops of geometric patterns, flower prints, or even plaids can add color with little effort. 

This delicate flowery pattern adds femininity without being overwhelming. It reflects a sweet, pure, quiet environment. This is a place I would love to read a book on a spring day.

Adding wallpaper or sticky tile to a backsplash can be a wow for minimal effort. Backsplashes are a great design feature. Choose materials that are easy to clean and resist heat and oils for the best results.

Decide what walls you want to wallpaper, and remember less is more in small confined spaces. Most RV walls are safe to wallpaper, but a sample test will help you decide on the print and material compatibility.

Adding wallpaper to the front of a step up into your bedroom or 5th wheel can add character and look expensive.

The interior of an RV is a compact space packed with furniture and essentials, so it’s best to avoid large walls and dark-colored or busy patterns. It may be time to ditch the dark browns for lighter colors to create the illusion of space. White or light-toned wallpaper usually works best for campers and RVs. Check out this before and after.

Every amateur decorator knows that you can add pops of color, whimsy, and philosophy with just a few throw pillows. No matter your personal style, there is a throw pillow that will reflect it. 

Remember to add pillows in moderation. When you want to use your dinette seats, pull-out sofa, or even your bed, those pillows have to go somewhere, and space is limited. Pick patterns, colors, or phrases that you love and bring you joy.

Throw Pillows can be changed with your mood. Funny expressions, vibrant colors, and even holiday pillows can be added and removed. I like to buy pillow shams so that the slips not used can stay on the pillows and just switch around. Storage issue averted. 

Everything you can do to add storage is a great idea. When you purchase an RV, you may look around and be so pleased with all the storage it offers, but I promise you will always need a little more. Baskets and bins are a great way to decorate and add organization.

Organizing food into bins can be very helpful. As a 5’ 4” person, I find it challenging to reach those top shelves even with a small stool. Having bins that you can pull out for spices can be a lifesaver or at least a fall saver. I wholly recommend bins.

Baskets control the clutter and add homey touches. Need a nightstand but do not have room, hang a basket. You can find baskets in various styles and sizes. Fitting baskets into your decor is easy.

This wire basket is perfect for spices besides the stove. It adds storage and keeps things tidy, which keeps you from feeling claustrophobic. Because of the small space, it feels even smaller when an RV has clutter.

The bathroom is the smallest area of most RVs and campers. It also needs lots of storage. Usually, there is very little room in the bathroom vanity to store more than a towel or maybe two. Hanging baskets on the towel bar adds storage for all those bathroom must-haves like hair and makeup products.

These wire bins are a great way to keep clutter corralled in a bathroom. It also makes it easy for guests to find necessities.

Curtains can be a bold focal point in an RV space without seeming like the room is closing in. Curtains can add texture and color without adding to the busyness of the room.

Hanging fabric to divide and define spaces can make your RV feel cozier. Sometimes a curtain is needed for privacy, and sometimes it is required to block light for better sleep.

You can also use fabric to hide unsightly storage. Not everything fits into baskets and bins. Hanging fabric on this bottom bunk can create hidden storage or private sleeping quarters.

When using a theme to decorate, fabric can be an easy solution. You can find fabrics in thousands of colors, prints, textures, and thicknesses on the internet and at your door the next day.

Don’t forget your shower curtain when you are considering your decorative style. This is another DIY or purchase that can reflect any style, theme, or notion. Even if your shower has a door, you can add a pop of color to the side to soften the whole look.

Fabric patterns can be mixed to add interest. These pieces of red, green, and white prints coordinate perfectly for a vintage feel. The most important thing is for you to love it.

A quick and easy weekend project can be trading dated knobs and pulls in for newer or themed ones. Also, pegs and hooks can add storage without losing style. This decorator uses a deer rack to hang essential items.

Updated cabinet hardware can quickly transform your RV look with little effort or know-how needed. This trick works even if you choose to paint your cabinets or not.

Hooks can be practical and needed. Very useful in an entrance, hooks can be installed to corral everyone’s shoes. This is a genius idea.

Hooks in the kitchen can display your cookware or utensils. This puts things at your fingertips but also adds decor.

Pegboards can be added to a wall or even a storage bin to help with optimizing and organizing spaces. This is a great way to organize all the tools in a small area that can get cluttered quickly, and you can lose tools into the abyss. 

Changing fixtures can be a noticeable transformation in the look and feel of an RV and its function. Sometimes RV manufacturers overlook the need for a tall faucet for washing dishes. And most of us like a shower head that can handle water pressure and has a massage feature. 

This bathroom fixture transformation makes a big difference in eye appeal and feels more like a spa than a small RV shower. Whether you live full-time in your camper or just on weekend getaways, who doesn’t like a great shower.

Lovely fixtures can add a modern, sleek finish. It feels expensive and tranquil. Bathrooms that are frequently visited should be comfortable and clean.

This outdated bathroom sink remodels added the feel and look of luxury. The bathroom can be a place to add nice touches to add value if resale is an option.

Rugs are a great way to express your personal style. This decorator added an Aztec pattern to make it have a southwestern feel. Rugs can be replaced or changed frequently and quickly. I tend to get tired of looking at the same things, so I redo or rearrange often.

This example shows a soft filigree motif to brighten a dark brown interior. It adds a stark difference to its background, making it the room’s feature.

Rugs and corresponding pillows can add themes. Here we have a striped pattern displayed with the added stylized pillows in complimentary colors. The lines draw your eyes to the pillows and comfy sofa.

Open shelves are a trendy design now. There are not many surfaces to decorate in a camper due to space, so adding a shelf or open shelving can be a great way to display items you love or dishes.

These Boho shelves give this small space a sense of openness that closed cabinets could not attain. I love the neutral colors and textures.

This tiny shelf adds dimension and detail to a plain kitchen window. It is the perfect place for a pop of color and personality. It even adds a bit of privacy without adding a curtain or valance.

This beautiful vintage crocheted afghan was probably the inspiration for this hombre design. It is gorgeous and coordinated perfectly. It makes you want to curl up with a good book.

Notice this example of a neutral background with the only color coming in the throws and pillows. The style of this whole room can be transformed into any color or pattern you wish in a few minutes. I love the versatility.

This RV owner mixed beige and gray for a modern color scheme but added a lovely soft, snuggly blanket to soften those lines and colors.

Mixing more than one complimentary throw can be an excellent way to add textures, and a soft throw adds a comfortable accent.

A black framed monotone picture can make a focal point on a white wall. It can add inspiration and a trendy farmhouse look.

Mixed frames and pictures work perfectly with Boho, whimsy, or eclectic designs. My only requirement for decor is that I love it. It must bring me joy when you have many things to keep clean or dust. That does not bring me joy. 

Framed or not, words of humor or inspiration can add a relaxed, homey feeling. It will help you make your RV inviting to family and guests. It also reveals a bit of personality, which can be significant.

This is one of my favorite finds! Turkish towels solved a couple of problems for me. One, it is so much thinner than a regular towel, so storage was a lot easier to manage and the second is my RV has a washer and dryer combo, but they are small. Washing 6 traditional towels would take me 2-3 loads. I can wash all 6 of my towels in one wash with Turkish towels. And they look great hanging in a bathroom.

These are my favorites. They dry and are very absorbent and dry quickly.

(Set of 6) 100% Turkish Cotton Bath Beach Hammam Peshtemal Towel Throw Fouta Blanket Set XL Prewashed (Navy)

These towels also conserve water by hanging them to dry and reuse. We each have our own towel and hanger. I also think these are so pretty when displayed.

You can find them in neutral or coordinating colors. They look expensive and luxurious without being. These towels are comparable to cheap towels but with higher quality.

When you are using traditional towels, a wine rack can display them neatly. Many use this trick in their RV and their homes also. It is an excellent way to add color and texture. They can also be changed when you change your colors.

This is one of my favorite updates or decorating tips. Changing your lighting fixtures is the perfect way to update or change your look. It can also be challenging. When changing your fixture, please remember to check the voltage and replace it accordingly.

I love this chandelier. It has an expensive but rugged, simple look. It matches the design of this RV. I love the stark difference between white and black. With this canvas, you could pop any color you want and change it on a whim.

This is a genius idea when you cannot change your fixture. You can update those fixtures with details like a basket.

This DIYer places fabric pieces around the lights to resemble and hombre fringe. This is so cool and would fit several different decorating styles.

RecPro RV Decorative Ceiling Light | 12V LED Light | Island Light Fixture with Drilled Acrylic Cage | Ceiling Fixture

This fixture would be perfect for an island in an RV. It is a 12-volt fixture specific for campers and RVs. Its style is very versatile.

This set of fairy lights on a dreamcatcher sets a tranquil mood for relaxing and falling asleep. It would be a fantastic nightlight. 

These string lights create a romantic feel and could also serve as a nightlight. I love the neutral scheme and the softness of the string lights.

Soft string lights are a warm touch, especially where light fixtures are unavailable. Many enjoy fairy and string lights near sleeping areas.

String lights are practical for your outside area when you are camping. It is welcoming and allows you and your guests to navigate the site without accidents.

Appliances do not have to be unsightly or plain. They can be a focal point in your design. I love the addition of vinyl to this fridge. The dandelion pattern is beautiful and art all on its own.

If your Refridgerator needs an update, this chrome vinyl is a cheap way to make a significant impact. Chrome is just one option of many.

This fridge has added blackboard vinyl to allow its surface to be changed and styled as you desire. I love this idea for children! I know one little girl who would love to create a piece of art here.

Mirrors can be an RVers best friend if you need to feel like you need the space to feel more prominent or even lighter. When mirrors reflect light, it tricks your eyes into seeing double the space and light. If your camper uses a lot of dark browns, mirrors can be just what you need.

We expect to find mirrors in bathrooms, but updating one in an RV can add value and make a tiny bathroom feel expanded.

Including your daily life into your decor makes life so much simpler. Not having to move things around in order to work, cook, or even do yoga makes those things less of a chore and more enjoyable. This desk replaced the dinette set that was never used. Now going to work is easy without feeling cramped.

If you are a dedicated coffee drinker, your coffee pot and accessories will always be on display in a convenient place. Embrace this and include a coffee station in your decor.

Adding quotes and words that support your faith or philosophy is a great way to add your personality and bring joy to your space.

There are a lot of funny idioms and quips. Adding these touches to your decor becomes great conversation starters with guests.

Adding vinyl lettering and images has become a popular way to label, decorate, and add personality. I love this welcome chandelier added to this door. It is so inviting.

Lettering can be added to a dining table. This would be a great place to put family names, camping recipes, or even websites for takeout. 

Vinyl decals are also a current trend for the outside of your RV. Everyone loves customization. 

If you are not particularly fond of your sofa pattern, you can quickly use a furniture cover or even a thin blanket to change its look. This is also a great idea because you can easily throw it into the washer and not worry about the kids soiling it.

This is a great way to change your fabric colors without using a sewing machine. Also, I can tell you upholstery fabric is not cheap. It is cheaper to buy a cover.

Ok, let’s admit that sometimes RV furniture is not the most comfortable. Don’t be afraid to change out your furniture for traditional pieces. I ditched a sofa for a couple of small recliners because it made more sense for our family.

This owner has traded their RV furniture for a lovely sectional. Just keep in mind your furniture must come apart and fit through the door to be reassembled. 

I love this door!! It is a great way to make a statement before your guests enter your rig.

It’s also an excellent way to impress the neighbors.

I am in love with a good screen door, and this one is amazing. Everyone does not have the skill to create this, but if you do, I would. It will have the campground buzzing.

Adding a vintage wallpaper to your door will make a statement and lend some authenticity to your vintage design. Color coordinating patterns will add whimsy and style.

Also, if you want to impress your neighbors, you can accessorize your outside area to match your rig and show off your personality.

Bedding is essential to me. When I lay down, I want to lay down in a cushy bed with a soft, comfy blanket that feels like a luxury hotel. Sheets are nothing to skimp on, even in your camper.

Color coordinating bedding and pillows are a must when you are decorating. It may be the most important. Everyone wants their camping vacation to have some luxury.

Neutral beige or white are perfect for a minimalistic style. It looks clean and luxurious. 

Adding a striped pattern to neutral bedding adds depth and a pop of color. I love the look of this vintage navy stripe.

Placing plants strategically around your rig can give it an outdoor feel. I have never been successful growing anything, so I will have to choose silk.

Succulents can be grown just about anywhere. They are also very hardy and easy to take care of. This hoop and succulent combo are charming.

If you choose hanging plants, they can be hung inside or out, depending on the weather. They can brighten up your entry or your living area.

Revamping countertops has become easier with better options than replacing them. You can use vinyl as they have here. It is very durable and doable with thicker professional vinyl.

 You can also recover the countertops with a sheet of Formica veneer like they did in this video.

The new countertops look amazing, but it does require a bit of skill.

Painting your countertops with a special paint made expressly for that purpose is the option that takes the least amount of talent and money. 

I love this 50’s teal! The white with black and some copper is classy, but the pop of teal makes it fun. These teal touches could easily be changed to yellow or red without too much thought.

Here is that teal with the fore mentioned yellow and red. I know it is a little much for some, but I love it. It reminds me of the 50s and my granddaughter’s dollhouse. It is so sweet.

This design makes me think back to camping as a child. These are the patterns and colors that accompanied those campouts at the river. It makes me miss my grandmother.

There is nothing that will change a look faster than paint. It can also be the best bang for your buck. It will take patience and many coats, but the result is worth it.

Most campers and RVs start with wallpaper. I have painted wallpaper, and it is doable, but it will take you four or five coats. There is a coating and paste on wallpaper that will require many coats. Patience is key. The painting will not be a quick fix.

Painting cabinets can be rewarding. I love the white at the top contrasted with the black on the bottom cabinets. Cabinets like RV wallpaper will take many coats, even with a good primer.

I picked this example because of the stark difference displayed from everything else I have seen. I don’t know if I could live in this style, but I would love to camp in it for a weekend. It is beautiful.

Paint isn’t just for the inside of a camper. You can paint the outside too. I know this rig gets eyed everywhere it goes. It would make me want to see the inside. Anyone who paints their camper this way is begging for company. 

You can see the drastic difference white can make in a small space before and after. It looks so clean and open. The focal point becomes the accents you add that bring you joy.

Look at this pastel mint on the bottom cabinets with the floral rug. It is so precious. It is just enough color to give the room some depth. We have to mention how the gold hardware sets it all off.

Decorating your RV or camper can be a lot of fun. The most important thing is to make it feel like a vacation or holiday. When it is designed and decorated to be comfortable and inviting, you will want to use it more often. If like me, you are a full-time RVer, you know that comfort and function trump all. Everything has to have a purpose or function because the space is tiny. 

Clutter is not your friend. I have chosen this minimalistic lifestyle because I do not want to collect stuff but memories. I do not wish to dust daily, so I do not have a lot of decor sitting around. I have a pretty large RV, but I still discard things that are not useful or do not bring me joy. Cleaning does not bring me joy. My life is about the moments that bring me joy and having more of them.

Ready to create your dream home on wheels? Let’s dive in!

Here is the scoop on the best RV decorating ideas to make your camper or RV feel cozy.

RV Decorating Ideas to Make the Perfect Travel Trailer

Consider a minimalist approach for your small space.

While we’re planning our RV décor, it’s worth considering a minimalist approach that emphasizes functionality and simplicity.

We’ve got a few RV decorating tips that can make your RV interior feel more spacious and less cluttered.

Let’s start with the RV walls. Opt for light, neutral colors to open up the small area. When we choose to decorate, let every item serve a purpose, eliminating unnecessary clutter.

As RV owners, we understand the need for easy mobility and comfort. So, consider multi-functional furniture and smart storage solutions. RV décor isn’t just about aesthetics, but about making the most of what we have.

Maximize Storage Spaces

Since we’re embracing a minimalist approach, next we need to delve into maximizing storage spaces in our RV. It’s all about making the most of every nook and cranny.

For instance, command hooks can do wonders on cabinet doors, providing a handy spot for utensils or oven mitts.

When considering RV decorating ideas, don’t overlook the RV bedroom. Under-bed storage is an RV living lifesaver, perfect for stashing away extra linens or out-of-season clothes.

To personalize your RV and make it feel homier, you can even paint the inside of storage spaces a fun pop color.

Don’t forget to use RV furniture that doubles as storage, another of our favorite RV decorating hacks.

In essence, to maximize storage spaces means to create a place for everything and keep everything in its place.

Easy RV Decor Idea: Incorporate Multi-Purpose Furniture

In our quest to maximize space, we’ve found that incorporating a few pieces of multi-purpose furniture can make a world of difference in our RV.

This is one of the top camper decor ideas for an RV makeover! A sleek RV couch that transforms into a bed, or a coffee table that doubles as a dining table, can drastically improve the functionality of your RV.

This is a crucial part of the interior decorating process during an RV renovation.

Investing in multi-purpose furniture lets you personalize your RV and make it feel like a cozy, efficient home.

It’s all about finding ways to decorate an RV that reflect your style while enhancing RV life. Remember, the goal is to make your RV not just livable, but lovable.

Play With Accent Colors to Spruce up Your RV

We’ve found that adding a splash of accent colors can truly bring your RV interior to life. Playing with accent colors is a brilliant RV decorating tip that can bring an immediate transformation.

Think of it as a decor idea that can spruce up your RV and make a big impact without overhauling the entire space.

Choose hues that reflect your personality for that perfect touch. Perhaps, a vibrant turquoise pillow on a neutral sofa or a fiery red vase on the dining table. These interior decorating ideas will make your RV feel like a home away from home.

These subtle differences can make your RV feel more like your own and less like a temporary space. So, don’t be afraid to play with accent colors in your next RV revamp!

Camper Decor Ideas: Use Decorative Wall Decals

Moving on to the next idea, let’s explore the use of decorative wall decals in our RV decor.

One of the easiest decorating ideas to make your RV as nice as a home is adding wall decor. Unlike RV manufacturers, who often opt for a more neutral design, we can play around with our interior design.

Wall decals, particularly the peel and stick variety, are a convenient and affordable option. They’re easy to apply, remove, and replace, providing a versatile solution for our mobile spaces.

With countless designs available, we can choose anything from abstract patterns to nature scenes to enhance our RV and make it uniquely ours.

RV Bedroom Decorating Tips: Hang Curtains and Window Treatments  for Privacy

Let’s turn our attention to hanging curtains in our RV for enhanced privacy and aesthetic appeal.

A smart window treatment is a simple, yet effective RV bedroom decorating idea. It’s an easy way to make your small RV look and feel like a cozy home on wheels.

Choosing the right curtain design can add a touch to your RV that evokes warmth and comfort. These can be easily drawn close when you want privacy or left open to let in natural light.

Remember, RV lights can also play off the color and texture of your curtains, creating a soothing atmosphere.

RV Decorating Ideas: Add Outdoor Living Space

After setting up our interior with cozy curtains, it’s time to step outside and consider adding an outdoor living space to our RV. Even a small camper can be transformed into a cozy haven with the right decor.

One of the great ideas is to lay down an outdoor rug to define the space. Add a few throw pillows on your outdoor chairs for comfort and a pop of color.

These renovation ideas not only make your camper more of a home, but they also increase your overall living space, providing a place to relax under the stars.

With a bit of creativity and some well-chosen pieces, your camper’s outdoor area can become a comfortable, inviting extension of your indoor living space.

Install New RV Flooring to Make Your RV Feel Like Home

Building on our outdoor enhancements, we’re now turning our attention to revamping the foundation of our RV’s interior – the flooring.

To give your RV a new look, consider installing new RV flooring. This is a fun and easy RV project that can spruce up your travel trailer in no time.

When choosing flooring, consider the lifestyle you lead in your RV. If it’s an adventure-filled, muddy boots kind of lifestyle, you might want to choose vinyl or laminate.

These materials can withstand heavy traffic and are easy to clean. Plus, they can be found in a variety of designs to match your aesthetic.

Choose Compact Appliances: Camper Decor Ideas to Eliminate Clutter

We’ve all got to admit, smart use of space is critical in an RV, and that’s where selecting the right compact appliances comes into play.

Compact appliances can revolutionize your RV kitchen, making it functional yet cozy. They may be small, but they make a massie difference in how you use your space.

Imagine a petite refrigerator that best fits your necessities, or a compact oven where you can warm your favorite meals.

The look of your RV can change significantly with these tiny adjustments. It’s a fantastic way to personalize your RV, making it feel more like a home. These changes may seem minor, but believe us, they make all the difference.

Explore ways to make your space work for you, because the right compact appliances can make a huge difference.

Create a Cozy Bedroom: RV Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Just like we’ve optimized our kitchens with compact appliances, let’s turn our attention to the bedroom, another crucial space in the RV that deserves a cozy touch.

To make this tiny home feel more like home, we’ll start with the walls. Peel then stick wallpaper is a game-changer for RV bedrooms, offering a quick and affordable way to elevate the space.

Choose a design that reflects your taste and makes your camper feel more like your favorite home.

Next, consider updating the fixtures. A new light fixture or a chic mirror can instantly transform the room.

Don’t forget the RV bathroom, a simple wallpaper can continue the cozy feel throughout your home. These touches will make your camper feel like a home.

Add Personal Touches: Wallpaper, Command Hooks, Backsplash, Peel and Stick Seasonal Decor, and More

Let’s infuse our RV space with personal touches that truly reflect who we’re and what we love.

When it comes to RV decorating, one of the best ways to make a huge impression is by adding unique details around your camper.

A custom backsplash in the kitchen, for instance, is easy enough to install and creates a stunning focal point.

Swap out the standard shower curtain for one featuring your favorite artwork or scenic landscape.

Seasonal decor is another fantastic way to spruce up your home. Rotate decorations according to the time of year, using pieces that speak to your style.

Adding stylish touches not only makes your space feel more like a home, but it also showcases your personality to every guest you welcome aboard.

RV Decor Ideas: A Cute Light Fixture for the Perfect RV Makeover

After adding those perfect touches, we should consider how we’re using light in our RV to further enhance our space.

The interplay of light and shadow can dramatically alter the feel of a space, making it cozy or spacious, warm or cool.

Let’s leverage natural light by optimizing window placement and using reflective surfaces.

We can also add stylish, energy-efficient lighting fixtures. Dimmers are a great addition, too, for creating a variety of moods.

Remember, it’s not just about brightness, but the quality of light. Choose warm tones for a welcoming atmosphere or cool ones for a refreshing vibe.

With thoughtful planning, we can use light not just for function, but to artistically accentuate our RV’s charm.

Home Away From Home: Experiment With Textures in Wall Decor

Moving on to our next design element, we shouldn’t overlook the impact of incorporating various textures into our RV decor.

Mixing textures adds depth and dimension to a space, making it feel more inviting and cozy. Consider a plush rug for a touch of luxury, or woven baskets for a rustic vibe.

We could also play with glossy and matte finishes on surfaces. For instance, a glossy countertop paired with matte cabinets creates an appealing contrast.

Don’t forget about textiles! Curtains, pillows, and throws can introduce different patterns and tactile experiences.

It’s about more than just visuals; it’s about how a space feels. Let’s not be afraid to experiment. After all, the best designs often come from unexpected combinations.

Incorporate Plants Into Your RV Kitchen and RV Bathroom Decor

Bringing nature indoors, we can further enhance our RV’s cozy atmosphere with the use of indoor plants. They’re not just pretty to look at; they help purify the air and create a calming environment.

We suggest opting for low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants that can thrive in various lighting conditions. You can place them in corners , on shelves, or hang them from the ceiling to add a touch of greenery.

Also, consider using stylish planters that match your RV’s décor theme. They’ll serve as functional art pieces.

Don’t forget to throw in a few herbs in the kitchen area. This way, we’re not only decorating our space but also growing our own fresh spices.

Create a Functional Kitchen Area With Easy-to-Use Cabinet

In addition to incorporating plants in our decor, we’re focusing on making our kitchen area highly functional and efficient, in line with our RV’s overall aesthetic.

We’re talking streamlined cabinetry with hidden storage, sleek countertop appliances, and wall-mounted pot racks.

We’re embracing the small space by opting for a compact, two-burner stove and a mini fridge. A rolling island can serve as both prep space and dining table, while magnetic spice racks on the inside of cabinet doors save room.

We’re choosing light colors to make the area feel larger, and adding a mirrored backsplash to reflect natural light.

With these tips, we’re transforming our kitchen area into a space-saving powerhouse that doesn’t compromise on style or functionality.

Ways to Make Your RV Bathroom Better

Next, we’re turning our attention to the bathroom, aiming to create a spa-like oasis despite its compact size.

Let’s start by refreshing the walls with a light, calming color such as mint or lavender. Replace the standard mirror with a quaint, vintage-style one to add instant charm.

Consider installing a curved shower rod; it’ll provide extra elbow room while maintaining a sleek look. Opt for a high-efficiency toilet to save water and space. A slim, wall-mounted cabinet can store essentials without filling up the room.

Try Open Shelving for RV Interior

Let’s move on to revolutionizing our RV’s storage with the use of open shelving. It’s a fantastic way to maximize space while adding a touch of style.

Open shelves give us the opportunity to exhibit our favorite items, transforming them into decorative elements. They also make everything w ithin reach , making our RV life more practical.

When choosing shelves, we must consider the material and color. For a modern look, we might opt for a sleek metal design. For a rustic touch, reclaimed wood could be the perfect choice.

Don’t forget, it’s essential to secure items on our open shelves to prevent them from moving while on the road.

It’s high time we embraced this trendy, functional, and aesthetic storage solution!

Go for a Theme in Your Favorite RV Room

After we’ve streamlined our storage with open shelving, another creative step we can take is to adopt a specific theme for our RV decor.

Whether it’s a cozy cabin vibe, beach retreat, or even a retro 70’s theme, it’s all about personalizing our space.

Let’s start with color, textures, and patterns that reflect our chosen theme. We could select throw pillows, curtains, or rugs that embody our theme. Don’t forget accents like unique wall art or themed kitchenware.

Don’t Forget Your Ceiling: Decorate and RV

We’re often so focused on the walls and floors that we overlook the potential our ceilings have to elevate our RV decor.

Ceilings are the unsung heroes of design, an expansive canvas just waiting to be adorned. From a simple coat of sky-blue paint to a sophisticated tin tile installation, the sky’s the limit.

Consider installing recessed lighting for a modern, minimalist look or hanging a compact chandelier for a touch of elegance. Don’t be afraid to try a bold pattern, like chevron or polka dots, to add some character.

Peel-and-stick wallpaper is another great option, it’s easy to apply and remove, making it perfect for those who like to change it up. Whatever you choose , remember that your RV’s ceiling can be more than just a blank space.

Use Rugs to Define RV Living Areas

While we’re jazzing up the ceiling, it’s also important to recognize how we can use rugs to define different areas within our RV.

A plush rug under the dining table not only protects your flooring but also creates a distinct dining area. This visual cue can make your RV feel more like a home.

In the bedroom, a faux fur rug can add warmth and luxury, transforming the space into a cozy retreat. You can use outdoor rugs to extend your living space outside, creating an inviting patio area.

Don’t underestimate the power of a good rug. It’s an easy, versatile way to inject personality, color and comfort into your RV, while also helping to delineate spaces. Your RV will feel more organized, cohesive and stylish.

Create Space With Mirrors

Just as we’ve used rugs to define and enhance our spaces, we can also utilize mirrors to create an illusion of more space in our RV.

Mirrors reflect light and add depth, tricking the eye into perceiving a larger area. Strategically placing them on walls, cupboards, or even the ceiling can dramatically open the room.

Consider using a large mirror as a focal point for a sense of grandeur. Alternatively, a collection of smaller mirrors can add a quirky, bohemian feel.

Mirrored furniture or accessories, like a reflective coffee table or candle holders, can subtly boost the space illusion.

Update Your RV’s Lighting

Next, let’s tackle the lighting in our RV, as it can significantly impact the overall ambience and functionality of our space. Lighting can make a world of difference, transforming cramped, dark corners into radiant, welcoming spaces.

Consider swapping out those old, energy-guzzling incandescent bulbs for modern LED lights. Not only are they more energy-efficient, but they also offer a range of color temperatures to suit your mood.

Opt for warm, soft light for a cozy, inviting atmosphere, or cool, bright light to energize and invigorate.

Don’t forget about accent lighting too. Strategically placed under cabinets or around borders, these little gems can highlight your RV’s best features.

With a few tweaks, we can illuminate our RV to its fullest potential.

Organize With Baskets and Bins

Having illuminated our RV beautifully, we’re now shifting our focus to decluttering and organizing our space using baskets and bins.

These versatile storage solutions aren’t only practical, but they also add a charming rustic touch to our interiors.

We can stack woven baskets in corners for blankets and magazines, or use wire bins to organize our kitchen utensils. Clear plastic bins can be perfect for stowing items under the bed or seats.

Let’s not forget about wall-mounted baskets. They’re fantastic for storing toiletries, spices, or even craft supplies. Whether it’s wicker, wire, or plastic, these baskets and bins will help us maintain an organized and aesthetically pleasing RV.

Let’s embrace the beauty of order and simplicity in our 2024 RV decorating journey!

Use Wall Space Wisely to Decorate an RV

After getting our baskets and bins in place, let’s turn our attention to using the wall space in our RV wisely. We’ll need to think vertically to maximize our space. Consider installing floating shelves for books, candles, or keepsakes.

Hooks can be a lifesaver, perfect for hanging coats, towels, or kitchen utensils. We can also go for magnetic strips for knives or spice jars, saving us cabinet space.

Don’t forget to add some artwork or family photos to personalize it. Opt for lighter, smaller pieces that won’t add much weight.

Wall-mounted fold-down tables or desks are also a great idea, providing functionality without filling our space. Remember, it’s all about combining aesthetics, practicality, and clever use of space.

Remember to Add Personal Touches

While we’re focusing on practicality and space-saving techniques, it’s essential we don’t forget to add our personal styles to truly make the RV feel like a home. We can achieve this by incorporating mementos from our travels, like photos or souvenirs, into our RV decor.

RV Decorating Ideas: 20 Ways To Glam Your RV Up

If you’re anything like me, you’re constantly looking up RV decorating ideas to make your RV feel more like home.

In this blog post, I’ll share some of the best ones that have worked for me. Hopefully they will help you make your RV feel more cozy and comfortable.

Our Top 20 RV Decorating Ideas:

Bring in some plants.

One of the best ways to make any space feel more like home is to add some plants. Not only do they look nice, but they also help purify the air. If you’re worried about keeping plants alive while you’re on the road, don’t worry! There are plenty of low-maintenance options out there that are perfect for RV living.

Hang String Lights

Camping string lights are a great way to add a little bit of warmth and coziness to your RV. You can find battery-operated string lights just about anywhere these days, so you don’t have to worry about running into any electrical issues.

A rug can make a huge difference in the overall feel of your RV. It can help add a bit of color and personality to the space, and it can also help protect your floor from any dirt or debris that you might track in. Just be sure to get a rug that is durable and easy to clean.

Add Some Wall Art

Another great way to personalize your RV is by adding some wall art. You can find all sorts of affordable options online or at your local craft store. Just make sure to choose something that you love and that will coordinate with the rest of your decor.

Use Throw Pillows and Blankets

Throw pillows and blankets are a must in any cozy home, and your RV is no exception. They can help make any space feel more inviting, and they’re also great for snuggling up in when the temperature drops at night.

Add A Theme

If you want your RV to really feel like home, then you might want to consider adding a theme. This can be anything from a beachy vibe to a rustic cabin feel. Just choose something that reflects your personal style and go for it!

Get Creative With Storage

One of the biggest challenges of RV living and small RV decorating ideas is finding enough storage space. But if you get creative, you can find all sorts of hidden storage spaces in your RV. Look for any unused nooks and crannies, and you’re sure to find some extra space to store all of your things.

Add Some Color

If your RV feels a little bit too bland, then you might want to add some color. This can be anything from a wallpaper accent wall to putting new covers on your couch or RV dinette. Just choose whatever makes you happy and go for it!

Refresh Your Bathroom

Your bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your RV, so you’ll want to make sure it looks its best. You can do this by adding some new towels, a shower curtain, and a simple coat of paint on the vanity.

Replace Your Headboard

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to change the look of your RV, then consider replacing your headboard. This is one of the easiest ways to add a bit of style to your space, and it can be done in just a few minutes.

You can refresh it by putting a new wrap of fabric over it, or fully replacing it with a painting or lattice arrangement to add extra visual interest.

Change Up Your Window Treatments

Another easy way to change the look of your RV is by changing up your window treatments. If you currently have blinds, consider adding some curtains or drapes. Or if you have curtains, try switching them out for something new.

Add Some New Hardware

If you want to give your RV a whole new look, then consider changing out all of the hardware. This includes things like cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, door handles, and even light fixtures.

Swap Out Some Furniture

If you’re really looking to make a big change, then consider swapping out some of your RV furniture. This can be anything from your couch to your dinette set. Consider going with regular furniture rather than overpriced RV furniture.

Update Your Bedding

One of the easiest ways to change the look of your RV bedroom is by updating your bedding. This includes things like your comforter, sheets, pillowcases, and even throw pillows.

Update The Kitchen

If your RV kitchen is in need of a makeover, then consider putting in a backsplash, new countertops, and a coat of paint on the cabinets. This is a quick way to add some style to your space, and it can be done in just a day or two with some careful measuring, planning, and elbow grease.

Roll Out A Welcome Mat

One of the best ways to make your RV feel like home is by rolling out a welcome mat. This can be anything from a simple doormat to a more elaborate rug.

What better way to welcome visitors to your traveling home?

Change Out Your Flooring

If you’re really looking to make a big change, then consider changing out your RV flooring. This can be very simple by going with peel and stick flooring or new carpet.

Put Up A Mirror

A mirror is a great way to make any space feel bigger and brighter. So if your RV is feeling a little cramped, then consider adding a mirror or two.

Paint Your RV’s Exterior

If you want to really make a statement, then consider painting your RV’s exterior. This is a great way to add some curb appeal and make your RV stand out from the rest.

Add Some Accessories

The last thing you’ll want to do is add some accessories to your RV. This can be anything from a new set of dishes to a few throw blankets. Make sure whatever items you choose match the same theme or palette that the rest of your RV is decorated with.

20 Best Ways to Decorate Travel Trailer

• BEGINNERS GUIDE

As you’re cruising down the highway, you look at your travel trailer and think, “I don’t know how much longer I can live like this!” You may even ask yourself, “Why do I even own this thing?”

If you’re like most people, your travel trailer is your home away from home. And just like your regular home, you want it to be comfortable, stylish, and inviting.

Decorating a travel trailer

While decorating can take time, making a few changes can really transform the feel of your trailer in no time at all. Check out these 20 tips for decorating your travel trailer:

1. Decorate with a Wallpaper

The idea of wallpaper in a travel trailer may seem overkill, but there are many great patterns available for this space that will give your home a more finished look.

One of the benefits of using wallpaper on the walls is that you can always change it up when you want to switch things up! You might even consider matching the design with some other accents in your trailer.

2. String some lights around the ceiling

Add some string lights around the ceiling of your trailer if you don’t have any. You’ll be surprised how much light they actually provide – just be sure not to hang them too close, or they’ll get hot and melt something!

It’s also a good idea to find out what type of bulbs are best suited for use inside the trailer before hanging them. Check with your local hardware store before buying anything online.

3. Cover those ugly window blinds

Are you still rocking those old-school window coverings? Stop now and invest in some curtains. There are so many different styles available these days, including sheer curtains, which allow natural light to filter through while providing privacy from outside viewers.

If you’re looking for an inexpensive option, try cutting an old bed sheet into panels and hemming each side. Hang one panel across the top of the window and another across the bottom to create a cool effect.

4. Paint small objects (or big ones) white

You can easily add some personality to your trailer by painting any small items white. Anything from picture frames, clocks, chairs, etc., can instantly be transformed with this easy update.

Painting bigger items, such as tables and beds, is a little trickier since you need to tape off the edges. But you can either do it yourself or hire someone else to do it for you.

Be sure to paint everything with a primer first, then paint all sides evenly. Let dry completely before removing the masking tape; otherwise, you could mess up your freshly painted surfaces.

If you’re working on larger pieces, use chalk paint instead of latex paint to achieve a distressed look. Just remember to sand and seal after the project is complete!

5. Upcycle furniture

Don’t waste money buying new furniture for your tiny trailer home! There are plenty of ways to spruce up existing pieces without breaking the bank. Start by stripping the old finish, sanding the wood down, and priming.

Choose a modern paint color to match your decorating style. Give everything two coats of paint, letting it dry thoroughly between coats. Afterward, distress the edges with steel wool.

You can purchase some of the supplies at your local hardware store, and once you’ve assembled your supplies, it should only take a few hours to do the whole job.

6. Create shelving units

Installing shelving units is a fantastic way to make your trailer feel more spacious. You can fill them with books, plants, or anything else you want! To build a shelf system, measure the distance between the floor and ceiling of your trailer in inches. Subtract your desired height of the shelves from this number.

Now, you’ll know the width and length of boards you’ll need to cut. Once you’ve measured your board, cut it in half and paint it before assembling your shelf unit. As for shelf decorators, you can use jars to store some of your favorite souvenirs.

Place them on the shelf and label them for easy identification. You can use anything from old cookie tins to recycled wine bottles. If you’re feeling ambitious, start a collection and see where it takes you!

7. Get creative with storage solutions

If you’re lucky enough to own a larger trailer, try adding a pantry or cupboard in an unused corner of the trailer. You can use this space to store food, dishes, or anything else you need.

You can also put a bookcase against one of the walls to maximize your living space. This will allow you to display your favorite knickknacks and curiosities.

8. Add artwork to your walls

Artwork can bring life to your trailer! If you want your trailer to feel cozy, look for artwork that evokes that feeling. If you want your trailer to look hip, pick out pieces of art in a color palette you love.

If you’re going for a traditional look, choose framed prints in an appropriate size. If you are trying to create a vintage vibe, try old photos of your family or friends.

You can also paint your favorite quotes on the wall, like this famous line from Oscar Wilde: If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. This quote is especially appropriate for travelers. The options are endless when it comes to art!

9. Put in some plants and greenery

Bring the outdoors inside with some houseplants! Fill those awkward corners with plants for some much-needed color and curb appeal. A good rule of thumb is to have one plant per square foot.

But remember not to overcrowd; if there’s not enough sunlight, they won’t thrive. You might also want to consider indoor plants that help freshen the air. These plants can remove chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.

One of the best plants for removing formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene is Dracaena marginata or Red-edge Dracaena.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, succulents are great! They’re ideal for travel trailers because they require little to no water.

10. Add mirrors to the bathroom and bedroom

The first thing to do is decide whether you want a full-length or vanity mirror. It all depends on the layout of your trailer and what will be most convenient for you.

Full-length mirrors take up quite a bit of space but can provide the best light for makeup application. Vanity mirrors offer more lighting than full-length ones but don’t let you see your entire body at once. Plus, you’ll need to get a smaller mirror to hang on the back of the door.

11. Keep things clean with shower curtains

Shower curtains are essential in every trailer! Whether traveling or living full-time, shower curtains will keep your bathroom from getting too dirty.

Just remember to put something underneath if your trailer has a linoleum floor. Curtain liners can be expensive, but they’re worth it. They won’t fade as quickly as cheaper options, and they’ll make your bathroom look brand new again. If you want something even more affordable, consider canvas shower curtains!

12. Get a pop of color with pillows and throws

You can add color to your travel trailer in several ways, from throw pillows on your couch to an area rug. It’s a good idea to use a neutral or white couch so that you can mix in whatever colors you like for your pillows and throws.

Choose a colorful rug or splashy pillow if you want to avoid redecorating. You can also experiment with different patterns and textures as long as they go together.

DIY projects are a great way to save money and show off your personality if you’re working with a strict budget.

13. Install a ceiling fan or two

Many travel trailers come with a ceiling fan or two, but if yours doesn’t have one, you’ll want to ensure you get one. You’ll use it year-round for both cooling and heating purposes.

If you’re looking for a way to save money on heating, just turn your ceiling fan on high when you go to bed. Even on low, it can provide plenty of air circulation that will help keep things cool at night.

14. Cover your couch with a durable and easy-to-clean fabric

Many people find they want to change the upholstery on their couches, but this can be costly. Luckily, there are other ways to get a fresh new look without having to reupholster your furniture.

If you’re willing to spend a little time and effort, try making your own slipcovers! It’s not hard to sew a fitted slipcover from simple pieces of fabric. You’ll need a sewing machine, needle and thread, some heavy-duty staples, and about five hours of your time.

15. Put in a DVD player

Travel trailers usually come with TVs, but not always DVD players. So if you love watching movies while traveling (who doesn’t?), make sure to install one before you head out on the road.

This is especially important if you plan on using your TV screen as a computer monitor. If you already have a DVD player, it’ll probably work for your needs.

But if you want to play games or watch a Blu-Ray movie, you might want to invest in a more expensive model. Another option is to buy a small flat-screen TV and hook it up to your computer or gaming system.

16. Hang wicker baskets on the walls for storage

Instead of putting clothes and towels on your countertop, hang a few wicker baskets on your wall. This will free up space, and you can also store smaller items in them. If you’re worried about them falling, use screws to attach them to your trailer.

You could also use your wicker baskets for decor. Fill them with decorative items or throw in some fresh-cut flowers. It’s also a good idea to have at least one basket dedicated strictly to the clothes you wear while traveling.

This way, if you stay in a hotel, you’ll have somewhere safe to put your dirty clothes.

17. Flameless candles are perfect for your home away from home

Flameless candles can really set the mood and make your travel trailer feel like a true home. They are a great alternative to traditional candles because you don’t have to worry about burning your place down.

Plus, you won’t ruin your curtains if you forget to blow them out. However, they are not a complete replacement for real candles. If you want to set a romantic atmosphere or cook with food-scented candles, then traditional ones are the way to go.

18. Peel and stick floor tiles to cover your floors

If you’ve been dreaming of a custom floor, but are on a tight budget, think about covering your floors with peel and stick tiles. These tiles give off a seamless look and can be changed easily.

There are even peel and stick tile options that mimic wood flooring, so you won’t have to settle for anything less than what you really want. The only drawback is that these tiles can’t handle heavy use, so they’re best for occasional foot traffic.

If you want something that will last, consider installing vinyl or linoleum.

19. Adhere a rug to the floor with carpet tape

For many travelers, the thing they miss most about their homes is the feeling of walking barefoot on a soft rug. One solution is to create your own by adhering a rug to the floor with carpet tape.

You can do this by cutting a large piece of rug and taping it down in one section of your trailer. If you want to do the whole room, you’ll have to cut and tape several smaller areas together.

20. Finally, hang a welcome mat to greet your guests.

Most people don’t realize how much an uninviting doorway can deter visitors. To remedy this, just pick up a cheap mat and put it outside your door.

Not only does it make your trailer seem welcoming, but if you keep a mat inside, you’ll save yourself from tracking dirt and debris into your clean trailer.

Though you may be limited on space, there are plenty of ways to make your travel trailer feel like home. By adding personal touches and décor that reflect your style, you can create a space that is both comfortable and stylish. With a little creativity, your travel trailer can be a true oasis on the open road.

Let’s Look at the RV Decorating Ideas

Everyone has different tastes and styles so some of these RV decorating ideas below may not exactly suit your taste . But hopefully it will inspire you in some way and that you can use it as a springboard to find some camper decor ideas that do suit you.

And you’ll see from some of these pictures that RV decor doesn’t have to be tacky and you can add a lot of your own style to your camper in simple ways.

1) Throw Pillows

Having some stylish throw pillows on your RV couch or bed can instantly make your camper look more homey.

The throw pillow above actually comes blank with no color . And then you use fabric markers to color in the States you’ve visited .

It is a cool idea that is sure to get questions from visitors.

Let’s Look at an Example from Instagram where they use throw pillows

Check out how cozy this looks. I like the eclectic selection of different patterns on her throw pillows.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by ???? » ???? ????? ????? ✨☽? (@heads.east.tails.west)

How can you achieve this look?

You can pick up some popular “inserts” (the pillows themselves) on Amazon (as shown below), and then you can get some pillow cases to match your style.

2) Cozy Throw Blankets

Draping a decorative throw blanket over the back of your RV couch can really help make your camper look cozy and inviting .

The plush throw blanket above is made by Camco and is a really BIG blanket …it is a queen-sized blanket so it’ll cover you and your loved ones while relaxing.

Beautiful Example from Instagram

The photo below from “thehappytrailerco” looks like a great little spot. They have throw pillows, slip covers over the couch, and a couple blankets too. As they said in their comment, it does make you want to sit there and play some music or read.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Happy Trailer Co (@thehappytrailerco)

How to achieve this look ?

Do you have some blankets at home that aren’t being used? If so, toss them in your RV.

Or you can shop at your local retailers (or online) to try and find a nice blanket that matches your decor and throw pillows.

Below is a highly-rated and popular “Tartan” patterned Sherpa blanket available on Amazon .

3) Get new Window Treatments

Changing your RV’s blinds or curtains is a sure-fire way to add your own personal touch to the place. It’s an RV decorating idea that has big, immediate impact.

Sewing new blinds for my old camper was one of the first things my dad and I did once I brought it home. (One of my only sewing projects…that’s how well they turned out 🙂 )

Great Example from Instagram:

In the RV below (from the “born_a_rambling_fam” on Instagram) there is a lot to love. But in this case, check out the curtains. I really doubt they were stock.

Can you do something like this in your camper?

View this post on Instagram A post shared by @born_a_rambling_fam

How can you get this look?

Walmart and many other retailers have curtains and blinds for sale. But first, you’ll need to know how you plan on mounting the hardware, and the measurements. (In your RV, can you keep existing hardware and simply get new curtains?)

Check out this article on how to measure for curtains.

4) Add some Art to your RV

Adding some art to your camper can help make it feel like home. The above “Happy Camper” artwork is a printable file you can buy on Etsy. You buy it, print it off at home, frame it and then you’ve got yourself some cool artwork.

Do you already have some artwork at home that you can put in your camper?

5) Family photos

What says home more than family, and what says family more than family photos.

Go ahead and put a nice family portrait up in your RV. And if you’re solo, put up your best camping selfie ever!

(I don’t think I need to show you an Instagram example of this one…I think you get it. 🙂 )

6) Area Rugs

Adding an area rug to your RV – if it will fit – is a great way to add some softness and comfort to your camper. You may have to look for a narrow “runner” style area rug.

Area rugs are a quick and easy RV decorating ideas.

What’s your style? Are you into Persian-style rugs or plain, shaggy area rugs? There are lots of choices out there, but don’t let it overwhelm you.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Teas & Weaves (@teasandweaves)

7) New Kitchen Back splash

If you want your RV kitchen to look and feel more like home you can change the back splash using peel-and-stick back splash tiles.

Below is picture of some popular peel and stick subway tiles that are available on Amazon.

I realize that adding a back splash is a little more difficult than tossing some cushions on the couch . So if you’re curious, check out the YouTube video below on how to install them in your RV.

8) Paint the Cabinets

The color or look of your RV kitchen cabinets is often the last thing you consider when you’re buying an RV.

If you’re tired of the “old” look of your kitchen cabinets then you can paint them . This is more of a RV remodel idea than strictly a RV decorating idea, but it can really update an old camper.

The YouTube video below gives you some tips on how to paint your camper’s cabinets. (And the DIY Mommy has some of the things we’ve already discussed to make her RV look more like a home).

9) New Headboard

If your RV has a dedicated bedroom then you can improve the look – and coziness – of your bedroom by adding a new headboard. It doesn’t have to be fancy (or heavy) but it can help define your space better.

Excellent Example from Instagram

Check out the custom headboard that roamingwiththerobinsons did! If you click the arrow and go through the pictures, you’ll see the “Before” picture. Man, what a difference! They did a great job.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by RV Reno & Family Travels (@roamingwithrobinsons)

As we can see from the above example, one of the first things you can consider doing is eliminating extra “junky” stuff that may be on the wall above your bed right now. (Don’t tackle any DIY projects you’re not capable of though..such as wiring or messing with external walls.)

Perhaps you could just paint the headboard a different color to update the space?

If you want to check out the cheap and easy DIY headboard I made from laminated flooring for my house click the pic below.

10) Welcome Mat

You can purchase cute welcome mats with pre-printed messages on them from lots of retailers, or you can order customized welcome mats with your family name on them.

Here are a couple examples of pre-printed welcome mats from Amazon.

Below is a picture of the lavender-styled welcome mat outside someone’s house…but would it work with your RV style?

And here is an example of customized welcome mats with your own family name printed on it ( from Etsy ).

11) Add some house plants

Having a touch of green makes your RV feel less like a factory creation, and more like a cozy abode.

You’ll have to choose plants that match your lifestyle. Are you rarely in your RV? Then you’ll need a very low maintenance plant. (Here is an article from HGTV on low maintenance house plants . Opens in a new tab.)

Great Example from Instagram

There are more “lush” examples of people really decking their RV out with plants, but look at how just one house plant can really change the feel of this room.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah + Carson (@ourlifeonlaketime)

How to achieve this look:

If you are in your RV regularly – or live in it – then you can get away with most types of house plants. But if you’re rarely there you’ll want a low maintenance plant, or even consider getting an artificial plant.

A fake plant won’t provide the air-purifying properties of a real plant, but it will provide the splash of green your camper has been lacking.

I was surprised to see so many popular plants on Amazon. While researching this article I came across some that looked really good…and not too big because you may not have much room in your RV.

RV Decor: RV Decorating Ideas to Make Your Rig Feel Comfy

Wondering how to decorate an RV? You are not alone. RV decor is something many people wonder about, especially if they are living in their RV full-time. 

Fortunately, there are tons of great RV decorating ideas out there. Some are drastic, some more subtle, and many are super easy to put together in a single weekend or less, meaning changing up your RV decor should be no problem at all. 

Below, we’ve compiled all of our favorite RV decorating ideas. From RV decorating hacks and RV interior design to outdoor RV decorations and RV christmas decorations, we cover it all. Let’s dive in!

RV Wall Decor Ideas

Let’s start with the walls. Most RVs come with pretty bland (and sometimes downright ugly) wallpaper. You could of course paint the walls, and in some cases, that is the best course of action. That said, painting in an RV is a big project that many don’t want to take on. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to spruce those walls up without putting in all that effort. 

Here are some of our favorite RV wall decor ideas:

Choose Multipurpose Decor

One of our favorite small RV decorating ideas is to choose wall decor that serves as both an accent piece and storage of some sort. Cute shelves, colorful pocket organizers , and fun signs with hooks along the bottom are all good examples of this. 

Use Command Hooks and Strips

Putting a screw or nail into your RV wall will cause damage. Not only that, you could also run into electrical wiring and that would not be good. Therefore, we highly recommend the use of Scotch Command Hooks and Strips when hanging things on your RV walls. 

Go with Peel-and-Stick

Peel-and-stick faux tile and wallpaper are some of our favorite RV decorating hacks. They are an excellent way to cover ugly walls without picking up a paintbrush. Not only that, but many peel-and-stick wall papers are actually removable, meaning nothing you do has to be permanent. 

Create Your Own Art

Don’t have a lot to spend on RV wall decor? Consider creating your own art! Paint your favorite landscape on a lightweight canvas, create a collage using old magazines, or choose your best family photos to display. 

What to Avoid

There are a couple of things you will want to avoid when choosing RV wall decor. First, it’s important that you avoid hanging anything breakable like glass picture frames. Second, you will want to skip heavy items that likely wouldn’t be held up by Command strips and might damage your walls. 

Decorative RV Interior Lights

Up next: decorative RV interior lights. Whether you have outdated old fixtures that you’d like to replace or want to add accent lights to brighten the place up, your RV lighting can make a big difference. 

Replacing Old Light Fixtures

Most people don’t think of light fixtures when they think about RV decor. That said, simply replacing tired old fixtures with decorative RV interior lights can change the whole look of the space. 

This video will show you how to go about that:

Using Accent Lights

Another way you can use RV decorative lights to help update your RV is by adding accent lights. In some cases, this might mean adding a string of “fairy lights” above the bed. In other cases, it might mean hanging a paper lantern lamp. Whatever decorative lighting you choose, make sure it’s 100% you.

RV Window Treatment Ideas

Another of our favorite decorating ideas for RV living is to change up the window treatments. It’s no secret that traditional RV window treatments aren’t usually very nice to look at. Why not change that with one of the RV window treatment ideas below? 

Hang Curtains

The simplest solution? Take down the valances and the original shades, and add curtains to the windows instead. You can buy curtains from the store and hem them up, or make your own. There are even no-sew ways of making RV curtains out there. You will have to screw the curtain rods into your walls, so be sure you know where wiring is run so you can avoid it. 

Cover Valances

If you like the idea of valances but don’t like the way yours look, you could always just cover them. This can be done by taking the valances down and stapling or gluing new fabric in place over the old. Only need a temporary solution? Some people simply pin the fabric in place in order to avoid making permanent changes. 

Repair Day/Night Shades

Sometimes the only real issue with RV window treatments is the fact that the day/night shades are falling apart. Many times, it’s possible to repair these shades rather than buy new ones. 

This video shows you how to restring your RV shades: 

Replace Shades

Can’t fix your existing shades but still want to stick with shades rather than have curtains? You can replace your RV shades with the same shades you’d put in your house. We especially love cellular shades , which help insulate windows and are easy to raise and lower. 

Frame with Wood

One super cute and trending RV decor idea involves framing your RV windows with wood . This makes them look more like residential windows and is the perfect addition if you’re going for RV farmhouse decor. That said, it is important to keep in mind the weight of the wood and, again, where you are screwing into the wall.

RV Kitchen Decorating Ideas

Wondering how you might update the look of your RV kitchen? We like the two RV decoration ideas below for a big update with little effort:

Add a Backsplash

We mentioned the peel-and-stick faux tile earlier. This stuff is perfect for creating a fun backsplash behind the kitchen sink and countertops. We love that it’s so easy to install, meaning a whole new look in less than a day. 

Change Cabinet and Drawer Knobs

You’d be surprised what a difference new hardware on your kitchen cabinets and drawers can make. Simply replacing your knobs (and maybe hinges, if needed) will make a drastic difference.

RV Living Area Decorating Ideas

What about the living area? Not to worry! We have some RV decor ideas for this area of your home-on-wheels as well:

Cover the Couch and Dinette Seats

If your RV couch is peeling or even just looking worn out, you might be thinking it’s time to replace it. The good news? That isn’t actually necessary. These stretchy furniture covers come in a variety of sizes, meaning you can easily cover most couches and dinette seat cushions. 

The covers fit well, but if you have trouble keeping them in place, consider using sheet suspenders to hold onto them. 

Throw Down a Rug

Replacing your RV flooring is possible, but it isn’t easy. If you’d rather avoid that task for now but want to cover ugly flooring, consider grabbing a cute rug to throw down in the living area. Obviously, this can also be done in the bedroom and bathroom if needed. 

RV Bedroom Decorating Ideas

The bedroom might need a bit of attention as well. Besides the decorative lighting, window treatments, and wall decor mentioned above, we also recommend trying the following RV bedroom decorating ideas:

Change the Bedspread

Changing the bedspread is one of the easiest ways to update your RV decor. Choose something you love and use that as a jumping-off point for choosing the window treatments and wall decor in your RV bedroom. 

Add a Headboard

Another of our favorite camper bedroom ideas is to add a headboard to the bed. This doesn’t have to be a real headboard. In fact, it’s probably better that it isn’t. Instead, try one of these faux headboard ideas . 

Switch the Bed Curtain

If your RV bedroom or bed has a privacy curtain, consider changing it out. We’ve seen people replace the cabover bunk curtain using a tension rod , adhesive tension rod holders , shower curtain clips , and cute decorative curtains . Similar methods could be used around other types of beds. 

Check out this walkthrough of the converted garage of Fulltime Families member Doug Setzer of Learn to RV .

RV Bathroom Decor

Another space that might require some RV interior decorating ideas? The bathroom. The camper bathroom decor ideas below will help you get started:

Change the Shower Curtain

Switching out the shower curtain is an easy enough RV bathroom decor idea. If your curtain is hung using a track in the ceiling, replace it with a tension rod and then hang whatever curtain you like best. 

That peel-and-stick faux tile comes into play yet again in the bathroom. Use it to add a backsplash around the bathroom sink and totally change the look of the room. 

RV Outdoor Decor

When it comes to RV outdoor decor, we recommend keeping it simple. This makes travel day easier, as it means less stuff to pack up. Not only that, it also helps you avoid having a cluttered site. 

That said, there are a few outdoor RV decor ideas that are simple, useful, and tasteful:

Decorative RV Exterior Lights

String lights like these adorable camper lights or these solar lanterns are ideal for decorating your site. Of course, they also serve a very important purpose: lighting your campsite at night. This makes them a worthwhile investment. 

Family Flag or Sign

Fulltime Families members should let other Fulltime Families members know where they are. The best way to do this is through the use of a family flag or sign on your site. This adds a bit of pizzazz while also helping you make friends!

Outdoor Mat

Nobody likes dirt in the RV. An outdoor rug can help you avoid tracking debris inside. Not only that, it also helps keep your site looking tidy and gives you an opportunity to give your site a bit of personality without adding unnecessary clutter. 

Vinyl Tablecloth

Most campsites come with a picnic table. Unfortunately, you never know what was on that table before you got there. Why not cover it up and add some color to your space with a vinyl tablecloth ? Use clips to hold it down or invest in a fitted set .

Cute Camper Decorating Ideas You Can Actually Afford

Campers are cool! New, old, big, or small – it doesn’t matter what kind of camper it is, it’s gonna be awesome and it’s gonna have unlimited potential (I may be biased). Thanks to the recent camper trend, you can find plenty of neat campers for sale online at a good price. We found these cute camper decorating ideas while scrolling through Pinterest and think you’ll love them as much as we do.

Types of Campers

There are a few different kinds of campers, and they can be called different things depending on your location. Some people use the term ‘RV’ to include motor homes only. Here’s a quick list of the most commonly used definitions to describe most campers:

Travel Trailer (Caravan)

According to Wikipedia , a travel trailer, or camper, is a home unit towed behind a vehicle. They vary from basic models to huge homes on wheels that can accommodate large families.

Go RVing describes a 5th Wheel Travel Trailer as the same concept as a pull behind travel trailer, but it is constructed with a raised forward section that is attached to a vehicle with a fifth wheel hitch.

The dictionary describes a motorhome as a motor vehicle that is equipped like a trailer, with all the amenities of home including kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Basically, it’s a camper that has its own motor.

Wikipedia describes a recreational vehicle, or RV, as a broad term used for pretty much any kind of travel trailer or motorhome that is used for camping or part-time living. They can be a basic setup with living, sleeping, and bathroom area or they can be luxurious with entertainment centers, multiple bedrooms, and a full-size kitchen and bathrooms. Park model homes are considered recreational vehicles which we think is silly as they can easily be beefed up and made perfect for full-time living (but what do we know?).

See how one mom  turned an old RV into a cozy retreat.  

3 Cute Camper Decorating Ideas You Can Actually Afford

Take a look at what can be done with some hard work and imagination! This repurposed vintage camper is full of cute camper decorating ideas.

As you can see, this camper is a typical style from the late 70’s/early 80’s. Browns and greens were the color scheme throughout, and the upholstery is the kind that makes you want to scratch! Here’s a look at the before:

Laurie says she had a definite vision of what she wanted to see the repurposed vintage camper turn into. Fun, bright, and reminiscent of her favorite holiday, the 4th of July. Red, white and blue along with some nautical accessories completed the lake ready vacation camper.

Laurie says that the backsplash was her biggest splurge in the remodel. We love how it turned out.

The oven was removed, and a microwave replaces it in that spot. The refrigerator was also updated for a newer model.

Although at first, it looks like the countertops were replaced, they were all just scrubbed down and had marble contact paper added to them!

Bathrooms in campers are typically very small, the fresh coat of paint made the space look bigger.

The Most Gleeful Getaway

The Trailer Pond

The Trailers: 1958 Kenskill Deluxe, 1959 Terry, 1962 Aristocrat, 1956 Jewel, and (not shown) a 1959 Shasta

Currently Parked: In Alta Colina Vineyard, an organic winery in Paso Robles, CA

Last year, two trailer rescuers refurbished five midcentury trailers—each painted a different candy-­colored shade—and created a trailer-park resort on a picturesque 130-acre property in wine country. Campers (each equipped with a double bed) start at $175 per night and include access to a communal kitchen, campfire area, dock, and hiking trails. Catered meals, yoga instruction, wine-blending classes, and transportation to Central Coast sites are also available.

The Cutest Crash Pad

The Petrone Family Homestead

The Trailer: A 2003 Cougar Keystone

Hitched To: Blogger Ashley Petrone, husband Dino, and kids Gabe, Gavin, and Quinn

Currently Parked: Ventura, CA

A year ago, Ashley and Dino found their dream property: 2.2 acres in southern California. The catch? The land lacked a house. So the family made the decision to sell their five-bedroom home and buy, renovate, and move into a 180-square-foot trailer while building their forever digs. “It’s given us more time to enjoy being together,” says Ashley, who documents the “joy in the in-between” on her Instagram feed .

The Most Blissful Backyarder

"Trailer Swift"

The Trailer: 1951 Spartan Royal Mansion

Hitched To: Designer Bailey McCarthy, husband Peter, and their two kids

Currently Parked: Bellville, TX

As an interior designer, Bailey travels a lot. So when her infant son was diagnosed with a lung condition that prevented him from flying, the resourceful mom scooped up this vintage number on eBay Motors for extended family getaways. After a two-year renovation—and her son’s much improved health—the 265-square-foot, cheekily named camper now serves as guest quarters at the family farm in Southeast Texas. Says Bailey: “Even though she’s tiny, our friends fight over who gets to stay here when they visit.”

Stainless countertops and black cabinets add a modern edge. Bailey replaced all of the trailer’s original paneling with burl wood and added cafe curtains in Lee Jofa Althea fabric. The futon folds out for extra sleeping space.

The Most Bustling Business

Sally the Pop-Up Shop

The Trailer: 1966 Airstream Globe Trotter

Hitched To: Siblings and small business owners Austin Shafer and Amanda Shafer Kelley

Currently Parked: Starkville, MS

The Shafers come from a long line of restorers, so when they decided to launch a mobile pop-up shop for their respective emerging businesses (vintage dishware and interior design for her; hardware and tool restoration for him), they joined forces to buy a trailer in need of some pretty major TLC. After three months of elbow grease—Austin built all the custom shelves to showcase their wares—it’s now ready to roll to events all over the country. That is, when they're not filming their new pilot for HGTV.

The Most Chipper Flipper

The Renovation of "Rosie"

The Trailer: 1969 Globestar

Hitched To: Freelance writers Matt Armato and Beau Ciolino

Currently Parked: New Orleans

Matt and Beau wanted to see the country, but that can get expensive. So they took their savings and spent $4,000 (plus $1,000 in shipping!) on a mode of travel that could double as a place to stay. After three months and an additional $5,000 in hands-on updates (custom-cut cypress triangular floors, new shelves, Hygge & West wallpaper) the guys are ready to hit the road. First up: North Carolina. (Follow their adventures on their blog at Probably This .)

Matt and Beau preserved the original tangerine orange sink, range, and hood and brushed on a concrete overlap atop the original countertop. Next to the kitchen, the space under the banquette is now a dog bed for Fox.

The Peppiest Page-Turner

Tin Can Homestead

The Trailer: 1971 Airstream Sovereign

Hitched To: Natasha Lawler and Brett Bashaw

Currently Parked: Parts unknown

After traveling in a 1978 Volkswagen camper van, Natasha and Brett had no interest in moving back into an apartment. So they used the last part of their trip to map out an Airstream re-do instead. The renovation project served as their home for more than a year and is now the subject of their new book, Tin Can Homestead: The Art of Airstream Living . They’ve since sold the trailer, but the book rolls into bookstores this May.

The master bed was removed and replaced with custom bunk beds, and the closet space was transformed into a more functional cabinet space.

Don’t be afraid to make bold changes to turn your RV into the most functional space for your needs.

11. @adventures_with_tucknae

I decided to go bold with the red accents in my 5th-wheel bedroom makeover, and I love how it turned out!

We used peel and stick wallpaper in the slide, a fresh coat of paint on the RV walls, cabinets, and cabinet doors, and as you can see, we chose to go with very bright colors. I also made new curtains for the windows.

As full-time RVers, we wanted our space to reflect our personal style. I realize this 5th-wheel bedroom remodel isn’t for everyone, but this RV interior look is perfect for us.

If you plan to replace the slide trim in your RV bedroom, check out our RV slide trim replacement guide next!

13. @spaces.by.rachel

Here is yet another awesome headboard! This was made with pool noodles and fabric, resulting in a beautiful (and light-weight) headboard.

And bonus, it was cheap too! If you don’t have room for large wall decor, similar DIY projects like this could be a great idea.

14. @spaces.by.rachel

This next RV bedroom renovation is one of my personal favorites! It is perfection!

Rachel always breathes new life with all the hard work she puts into her full RV renovations.

Minimalistic RV Bedroom Renovations

I love this bunk room renovation! Adding floor-length curtains is an easy way to make a small space like this feel much larger.

Check out our other post for more RV bunk room remodel ideas featuring easy ways to upgrade your RV bunk beds.

17. @thetinywallsfamily

RV renovations do not have to be crazy overboard to make a space feel like home.

Tiny RV Bedroom Ideas

18. @yourhypecouple.

The faux boxwood headboard in this bus renovation is so cool! Super cute!

I also like the light fixtures they chose, and those throw pillows on the RV mattress definitely make this a more cozy living area.

19. @sisterleerv

This camper bedroom makeover is darling! The custom divider curtains are such a good idea to separate the living room from the bedroom in this travel trailer.

20. @emsvanlife

This cozy bedroom is actually in a camper van! I love the bold color choices.

This van bedroom is the ideal spot to cozy up after a long day of exploring!

21. @rice_camp

And this tiny space is simply beautiful! RV bedroom ideas don’t have to take a lot of work; they can come a long way with a paint sprayer and decorative items from Hobby Lobby or similar home decor stores.

Small Travel Trailer Ideas (How To Decorate, Organize & Customize)

• 28.7K views
• 18 minute read

• April 19, 2022

Travel trailer – is one of the popular RV types. It is non-motorized and operated by hitching it to a tow vehicle. As a result , travel trailer becomes a flexible and effective choice. The double function of the tow vehicle enables campers to not have to drive their RV everywhere. Campers can easily unhitch their travel trailer at the campsite and drive around as a regular car or truck without the sizable baggage.

Travel trailers come in all kinds of sizes, from bunkhouse travel trailers that can house a family to the lightweight models. Deciding what kind of travel trailer to choose can be challenging especially for beginners. However, if you’re not planning to travel with a number of family, it will be wise to consider small travel trailers. Besides saving up budget and maintenance, it will be easier to haul a small travel trailer.

How Do You Decorate a Small Travel Trailer?

If you’re an RV owner, it’s natural to want to decorate your RV. Not only to make your space personalized, it also serves to make your RV look homey. If you’re an owner of a small travel trailer, you have a limited space to decorate than other RVs. In short, it is important to ensure that no space goes to waste.

1. Brighten Your Space with Colors and Patterns

Since you own a small travel trailer , it may make your space looks suffocating. Adding bright color is a good idea to make your space look fresh. Don’t be afraid to splash more colors and experiment with them. Patterns are also important to bring character to your space. Your space will look fun if you combine bright colors and patterns.

You don’t have to paint your walls. You can make your space look lively by changing your pillowcases, blankets, curtains and rugs with vibrant colors and patterns.

2. Put Maps on Walls

RV is identical to travel. Putting a map is a good way to display your adventurous personality. It will make a good wallpaper that represents what your RV is about. For instance, you can put up your route map on your walls. Besides decorating your walls, you can also look at it when you get lost and your GPS isn’t working.

3. Decorate with Theme

In order to not make your small travel trailer look too much, it’s important to have a theme. There are many themes that you can pick to suit your taste. For example, themes such as western, nautical, and vintage are popular among campers.

4. Display Personal Pictures

The space of your small travel trailer is personal. Displaying your pictures with family and friends is a good way to show that. By putting up your personal photos, your space will appear more comfortable. Using frames is a classic style, but there are many other DIYs that can present your pictures creatively. Hanging your pictures with a string and clips is a simple way to do it.

5. Use No-Sew Curtains

If you don’t know how to sew but still want to have a personal touch for curtains, then using no-sew curtains is a good idea. If you don’t want to spend too much for decorating, no-sew curtains will be up your alley.

6. Light with Flameless Candles

It’s dangerous to set up candles in your small travel trailer. However, flameless candles can be your best option since they use batteries instead. They will look as good as the wax candles and they are better because you don’t have to be cautious for potential burning.

7. Put Up Wall Arts

Wall arts are a good way to express your personality. You can hang your favorite painting or you can also put up your favorite quotes. Frame them with wall plaques and display them on your walls.

8. Place Souvenirs

Rugs are essential to decorate your floor. You can make unique quilts to make your floor look beautiful. Another option is using a rubber mat or other durable clothes since RV has a lot of traffic of people going in and out.

9. Decorate Exterior

Choosing to travel with RV shows that you value journey. You can display your souvenirs in your small travel trailer as tokens of how far you’ve been travelling. Just because you have a small travel trailer doesn’t mean your journey is small as well. It will also give remembrance of places you have visited.

10. Don’t Forget The Outside!

Decorating your RV isn’t just about the interior. You will also spend a lot of time outside. You can bring out unique chairs and side tables when you lounge around. Hanging flags and decorative lights will make your small travel trailer stands out and beautiful as well.

How Do You Organize a Small Travel Trailer?

It can get chaotic when you have to bring a lot of stuffs and fit them inside a small travel trailer. Clutters can be stressful to see, so it’s important to learn how to organize. There are many tips to keep your space organized, such as:

1. Keep a List of Inventory

As you travel farther away, you will eventually pile things inside your space. The accumulation will make your small travel trailer cramped. Especially when you’re a hoarder, you will easily crowd your space in no time. So, make sure to check and evaluate all of your stuffs regularly and throw out items that aren’t necessary to keep. You don’t actually have to throw them away, you can leave them at your house or even better, donate them. If you’re in need of money, you can also sell them. It’s always a win-win situation. Only then you will be able to move around freely.

2. Specify Space for Everything

The key of declutter is to categorize your stuffs neatly. Things that lay around will make your space look messy. So, make sure you have a place even for small things.

3. Apply One in, One out

One in, one out is a rule meaning that you don’t have unnecessary extras. Inexperienced travellers will bring too many clothes and shoes. Remember that you have a small space to fit many things.

4. Create a Cleaning Day

Dirty RV is really uncomfortable to live in. Therefore, it’s important to make a schedule where you clean your RV. Don’t underestimate your small travel trailer, it still needs an effort to clean.

5. Utilize Walls and Ceiling

Keeping your items is not only inside drawers. Since you have a small travel trailer, every space is valuable to use. So, start hanging your stuffs on your walls and even your ceiling. You don’t have to use any nail or hammer, you can put them up by using magnet or sticking them.

6. Store Papers

When you travel, you will get a lot of brochures. Letting them laying around will make your small travel trailer look messy. You will also need to store your magazines and maps so they won’t scatter around.

7. Get Hooks

You can’t keep everything inside your drawers. Besides, by putting hooks you will have easy access to your items. For example, hanging your keys, glasses and hats on your door so you can take them easily. It’s also important to keep hooks inside your bathroom for towels.

8. Go digital

In this modern age, you can convert many things into digital. For example, ditching conventional maps with GPS is very helpful. If you love reading books and magazines, you don’t need to bring their physical bulks and start downloading e-books instead.

9. Store Food inside Plastic Storage

It’s important to categorize everything inside your small travel trailer. That includes food. Besides keeping them organized based on types, it will also prevent your food from going bad.

Customizing a Small Travel Trailer

1. Buy a New RV Mattress

Sleep is important to ensure that you rest well and are able to continue your trip with high spirits. However, original mattresses in RV are not in superb quality, least to say. It will be a good idea to exchange the mattress with a custom made. One website that offers the service is Tochta .

2. Ditch the Carpet

If you prefer efficiency and don’t want to bother with dirty carpets, it will be best to ditch them completely. Travelling with RV will bring a lot of dirt inside wherever your destination is.

3. Install Solar Power

You will not always have sufficient electricity when travelling with RV. Installing solar power on your roof will not only make you have access to electricity. It’s also a renewable energy which is good for our planet.

4. Install Wireless RV Backup Camera

This may be expensive to include in your budgeting, but safety is the top priority. It’s difficult to back up with your sizeable RV. Wireless RV backup camera will make this process less scary and safer.

5. Switch Lights

Lighting is important during nighttime. LED light bulbs are a good choice since they’re eco-friendly. That’s because they consume less power. Moreover, they can be dimmed and they also can produce infrared light.

6. Upgrade Inverter

Having a source of power is important to make your travel comfortable. Upgrading inverter is important in order to store more electricity.

7. Bring More Batteries

Still on topic with power source, it’s important to keep more batteries in case you run out of electricity. Therefore, increasing your battery capacity is very wise to do.

8. Switch Shower and Faucet Heads

Just like original RV mattresses, shower and faucet heads of RV also suffer the same inadequate quality. So, it’s important to replace the heads with better quality so you’ll be able to take shower comfortably. Upgraded shower and faucet heads will surely keep your adventurous mood up.

9. Install Pull Out Garbage Can

It’s unnecessary to place your garbage can outside when you can install a pull out garbage can instead. It will save some space for your small travel trailer. In addition, the trash will be hidden so it won’t make your RV smell bad.

10. Get Unlimited Internet Access

Internet is really important nowadays, so make sure you make your WiFi access becomes unlimited. Especially when you also need to use internet a lot for work, this becomes a must.

11. Increase Stabilization

It can get really shaky with RV, especially when people keep moving around. It’s a great idea to install stabilization rods. By increasing stabilization, you will not drop your stuffs and you will be able to rest well.

Small Luxury Travel Trailer

Just because you want to buy a small travel trailer doesn’t mean you can’t travel with style. If you have a lot of budget, you will be delighted to see the luxury selections. There are many travel trailer brands that offer small luxury travel trailer you can pick according to your specific taste.
