5 Easy Ways to Decorate your RV
TL;DR Elevate your RV's ambiance without extensive renovations. Transform its interior with simple touches: adorn walls with art pieces for added warmth, introduce throw pillows and blankets to enhance comfort, define spaces with strategically placed area rugs, refresh bedding to suit your style, and infuse charm with elements like plants, books, and candles. These easy decor ideas will personalize your RV and make it feel like home on the road.
When purchasing a new or used RV, some RV owners feel that the interior may be a bit impersonal. Perhaps it still shows remnants from its time with its previous owners, or it could potentially feel like it came straight from the factory. Maybe you just want to add your own personal touches so that it feels like your own home on wheels. For these reasons (and more) some owners choose to renovate their RV interiors. However, this process can be lengthy and require quite a bit of effort and up-front cost. If you are looking for ways to personalize your RV without remodeling the interior, then simply decorating it may do the trick. Consider any of the following suggestions to decorate your RV and get her ready for your next big road trip.
1. Wall hangings
Hanging items from the walls can be a great way to decorate your RV. While RVs tend to have limited wall space for decor, most have some open space that can be utilized. This space can be filled by family photos, fiber art, paintings, travel memories, and so much more.
No matter what you choose to hang, be sure you do so safely. Since your RV will be rolling down the highway, hanging a picture frame in your RV is not the same as hanging a picture frame in your house. A simple nail will not do the trick. Be sure to attach heavy objects directly to the studs in the walls using a stud finder, or use anchors if you are unable to find studs. Lighter items can be hung up using command strips. Be sure to use anchors or commands strips that are rated for more than the item weighs to ensure it can withstand the bumps in the road.
2. Throw pillows and blankets
Adding cute pillows and blankets can quickly add a coziness and personal feeling to any room. You can add pillows to your couch(es), recliner(s), dinette seats, bed, or any other comfy hang-out spaces. Be sure to select pillows that match the theme of your space, and try not to overdo it. In addition, consider choosing pillow inserts and pillow covers separately. This will allow you to decorate seasonally and change your pillows out from time to time. Blankets can be added to the back of your couch or the bottom of any beds to use in chilly weather. These can also be swapped out seasonally. Be sure to coordinate them with any throw pillows you choose!
