When people move into a new house or apartment, the first thing they usually do is get to work making it feel more like home. And yet for some reason, when it comes to RVs, many are comfortable with the decorations that come stock. People treat their RVs like they’re a tent on wheels when they should treat their RV like a cabin that’s waiting for them wherever they go. This brief guide is filled with tips and tricks for making your camper more homey.
Lighting
Lighting, like everything else in a camper, is made for efficiency and little else. For example, LED lighting is a common feature of most modern trailers. Unfortunately, LED lighting is neither the warmest nor most welcoming of lights. A few residential-style desk lamps or candles can make a huge difference in how your trailer feels. You can even use flameless candles if you like, which provide the look, feel, and sometimes even the smell, of normal candles, but without the danger of a flame. Anything you can do to soften the light will make a big difference.
Personalize It
To make your RV feel like a home, you can add personal items like mementos and photos. Traveling to new places can make you miss home and family, so keep pictures, artwork by family members, and albums in your camper. As you travel, take souvenirs from the places you visit and add them to your RV decor so those happy memories are always with you.
Paint
Many RVs come painted in the most neutral color palette one could dream up. This helps maintain broad appeal for many people, but it doesn’t do much to make an RV feel cozy. Upgrade the color with a fresh coat of paint. You can just do one flat coat, or you can add accent and trim colors, a wall of bold, unique color, or any other scheme you like. Just make sure to air your RV out after you paint it as the paint fumes can get a little bit harsh due to the confined space.
