Renovating Your RV
Your RV is your home on the road, and it should reflect that. But expressing yourself in an RV can be harder than in a more traditional residence, since much of the furniture is bolted down and specially-designed. Luckily for you, you’ve got us at Motorhomes of Texas! We know plenty about renovating and reimagining RV interiors, so we’ve put together some ideas for what you might like to change up. If you want to know more, or you’re looking for professional help with your remodel, contact our store in Nacogdoches, Texas, today!
Themes
Nothing pulls a look together like a cohesive theme that all the furnishings and appliances stick to. Themes provide a central concept to guide what colors, textures, patterns, and accents are used throughout the whole RV. This makes sure every inch of your RV fits with every other part, connecting the rig from front to back. Maybe you want a nice ocean-themed interior with lots of deep blues and greens and raw wood accents, or a rustic feel to bring a farmhouse on the road. Interior design magazines and pinterest can help you find exactly what theme fits you best.
Colors
Most RVs stick to lots of gray and brown. Shake it up with a boldly-painted accent wall or brightly-colored accents throughout the structure, or with striking accessories like patterned rugs and throw pillows. Stick to the color palette in your theme, though—too much boldness can distract from the rest of the aesthetic and disrupt the feel.
Greenery
RVs are a great way to get into the great outdoors—why not bring the great outdoors into the RV? Growing houseplants, air plants, and even herbs can help freshen the air inside while bringing a more lively feel to the decor. Some stable, heavy pots and some stabilizing putty or Command strips will keep them secure, but if you aren’t sure about live plants, fake ones can still brighten up the interior.
Lighting
Most RVs have LED lighting, which is highly power-efficient, bright, and long-lasting. However, they’re not the warmest lights. Add in some warmer, more welcoming lighting to up the cozy factor a bit, like desk lamps, nightstand lights, or strings of lights.
Decorating
Your RV bridges your love for residential comforts with exploration, and it can reflect that. Every trip you make gives you the opportunity to collect souvenirs, which you can match to your theme and liven up the place with. You should also bring some touches of home with mementos like pictures, or art related to your hometown. Bringing home with you can prevent homesickness!
