Economical ways to Make Your RV Feel More like Home

The biggest benefit of travelling in RV and camping is you are able to get most of the amenities of home with you. RV road trips become more enjoyable and relaxing when you have comfortable place in your RV. When you buy a RV it won’t feel like home so it’s up to you to make it cozy and welcoming.So, whether you’re a full-time RVer or a newbie, here are some simple ways you can transform your RV into your home on wheels!



Hang Wall Decor

The easiest way to lighten up your RV is to decorate it with your favorite camper décor.  Whether it’s your family pictures, some inspiring quotes, or photography of the places you have visited, hang up whatever makes you happy! You may think it’s impossible to keep decor hanging on the walls with all the movement that happens when you travel. Maybe you’re also worried about making holes in your RV’s walls. But, fear not there are number of ways to make things easier. Command hooks, putty, and velcro work wonders. Another option is to use decals that stick right on the wall and are removable, reusable, and affordable!

Pro Tip:A simple roll of wallpaper and some elbow grease can completely transform your RV and showcase your unique style.

Add Rugs 

Most new RVs come with laminate flooring, which makes it easy to clean the floor. However, in winters a cold hard floor is not exactly comfy. A small area rug near the couch can not only look vibrant and texture, but also create some separation of spaces so your living room feels less like a part of the kitchen and vice versa. Your RV kitchen and bath no matter how small they are need mats too.

Pro Tip: Go for online shopping on Google as you can easily find alternative sized rugs that you won’t find in store.

Replace Valances with Curtains

Valances have much more an RV feeling than a home. Curtains are heavy in weight but it’s amazing what curtains will do to making the space feel more warm and inviting. You can use the same lightweight, adjustable curtain rods you would for a house. Finding curtains in the right length for your RV might be a challenge, but you can easily them without a sewing machine using hem tape and an iron! If your RV has a lot of windows, you may not put curtains on every window.

Pro Tip: Reupholstering the valences with your choice of fabric and a staple gun, might be a better option for some RV windows.

Make it Cozy with Throw Pillows and Blankets

Nothing makes RV “cozy” than throw pillows and blankets because having a comfortable area where you can relax is what home is all about. If you already have throw pillows but don’t like the old fabric, consider purchasing a pillow cover or recovering them yourself or you can use hem tape and an iron if you don’t want to sew!

Pro Tip: Another tip for making your RV feel more like home is keeping it neat and organized. It can be tough to manage all your belongings in such a small space, but avoiding clutter is crucial.

Paint the Walls and/or Cabinets

Painting the RV interior is a bigger project but with this you can completely transfer the look of your RV. White walls and cabinets can make a space feel much cozy and larger than it is.  Painting the interior allows you to add any color or finish you want to make the interior match your personality and style.

Pro Tip:Lighter paint colors on the walls and trim (specifically, a shade of white for an RV) make the space look and feel much bigger!
