A Beginner's Guide To RV Interior Decoration
When you first purchase an RV, it may not quite feel like home. The interior wall and furniture colors may be bland and muted. The rooms may be bare of any decoration. It may feel like a floor model, rather than your home-away-from-home. That's where RV interior decoration enters the picture!
It's amazing how a few tweaks can transform a space. If you've ever watched a home makeover show, you've seen the difference it can make. While we are not a team of professional interior designers, we can offer some practical tips to sprucing up your camper.

Pick An Aesthetic Style
Some rooms look fresh out of an interior design magazine...and others do not. What makes the difference? Often, it's the use of a cohesive aesthetic style.
Instead of simply tossing in random items and colors that you like individually, think about the overall look of a room. Maybe you go for a rustic look and focus on earth tones and wooded accessories. Maybe you want a beach home look and use nautical colors such as blues and whites. Try picking a theme, then planning the rest of your decor around that theme.
Add Pops Of Color
A standard camper tends to be full of browns and beiges. A little bit of bold color can really brighten a space. Consider painting an accent wall a striking color, such as teal or coral. Or add in accessories full of vivid colors and patterns, such as jewel toned stripes. You don't want to overdose the room in color, but you definitely want to elevate it. If you aren't sure which colors to pick, look up color palettes. These are set combinations of colors that pair well with each other, making the matching easy!
Bring Nature Inside
An easy way to liven up a space is to bring something living into it! Sure, you can't bring wildlife into your RV. But what about some greenery? Houseplants can be a great decoration in a camper—as long as you invest in a sturdy pot that won't tip over on the drive. Plus, plants can help improve the air by removing carbon dioxide and replacing it with oxygen. If you don't want the responsibility of caring for a potted plant, consider a temporary flower arrangement.
Decorate With Travel Souvenirs
With every vacation, you can end up collecting pictures and mementos. Why not use these items for your interior decorating projects? Hang up photos from your favorite camping trips—or of any beloved pets you have to leave at home. Scatter souvenirs throughout the various rooms, such as a vial of beach sand or a locally-made art piece. It's a great way to recall wonderful memories while making new ones!
Bring In Flameless Candles
Candles can really elevate a room but traditional candles pose a fire threat. That's where no-flame options become a great choice. They can improve the setting of a room, but without any risk. There are even options that are designed to flicker like a real flame.
