5 INTERIOR DECORATING IDEAS FOR YOUR CAMPER

Why not interior decorate your camper?

Whether you are road tripping, holidaying or living in your caravan or campervan, why not interior decorate it appealingly? Your camper is, after all, your home away from home but on wheels.

The same key elements and factors when interior decorating your home can be applied to your camper. You need the interior to look light, welcoming, homely, captivating, spacious and striking.

    1. What Theme and Colour Scheme Will Work Best?

    • To make the interior appear more spacious, opt for a minimalistic contemporary theme – clean lines, accessories and timber like linoleum or vinyl floors.
    • As for the colour scheme opt neutrals, light greys, darker accent greys and pastel.
    • If you are unsure what colours to use when interior decorating your camper, please contact our property stylists.

    2. LED Lights

    • Replace old type lights with LED lights instead.
    • Add strip lights under cupboards to create ambience and cosy atmosphere.
    • Strip lights are waterproof and can also be used along skirting boards.
    • Strip lights come in various lengths.
    • They run off 12 and 9V batteries.

      3. Blinds, Roller Blinds or Curtains

       

      Allowing as much natural light into your camper is as important as it is at home. Natural light makes an area appear more spacious and enhances the surrounding colour.

      Window coverings for the camper need to be sleek, lightweight, easy to use and most importantly offer privacy and allow an abundance of light and breeze in.

      Combine sheer curtains with block out blinds.

      Sheer curtains are lightweight and will allow natural light through. With block out blinds, you can control the amount of light and privacy you require. Opt for white or neutral colours to make the area look spacious and blend with the colour scheme.

      Slimline Venetian blinds are practical and easy to use. You can control the amount of light and privacy you require by adjusting the horizontal slats. When the slats are pulled all the way to the top, the window is exposed, allowing in an abundance of natural light and view to the outside. “Hold Down” clips keep the blinds stationery when the vehicle is in motion.

       

      Roller blinds do not have slats but consist of a single piece of material. They exhibit similar characteristics to Venetian blinds.

       

      4. Accessorise With…

      •  Mirrors – reflect light and make an area look larger. Stick a self-adhesive mirror to a cupboard door. You could even stick a mirror onto the wall in the lounge/dining area.
      • Decorative Cushions – are the home interior decorator secret to enhance and beautify an area. Opt for neutral colours and varied textures. Add one or two cushions with pop colours to add diversity.
      • Rug – Rugs add character charm and finesse to a living area. You could even add a rug to the outside seating area.
      • Throws – Add a throw or two of contrasting colour. Drape one over the bed and an identical one in the lounging area.
      • Artificial plants – are fuss-free and will replicate nature indoors.
