RV Décor on a Budget

Fulltime RVing offers the option of ever changing beautiful scenery as often as you like. But when the inside of your home on wheels is feeling tired or outdated you can refresh the space for as little as $20! A quick change can energize your RV with a mini makeover while still leaving funds to keep it moving on down the road.

Maps as Wallpaper
Maps make great wallpaper and are a great theme for an RV. You can buy them new at gas stations or Walmart if you want something that looks new (just iron out the creases). However, if you want something with some character, you may opt for older maps and atlases. Poke around at thrift stores and yard sales to find some great, weathered beauties.

Budget: $14 for an atlas and $13 for a wall map. The USGS website has some incredible maps that are sure to impress. Etsy also has some wonderful eclectic options and you can find maps that track your travels in fun decorative ways.

Change Drawer and Cabinet Pulls
Making a change as small as switching out your drawer and cabinet pulls can really make a difference in your RV. Go with a theme or find some that really reflect your personality. You can poke around Home Depot, but there are some fantastic online stores that have very unique pulls for very reasonable prices. You might find some that you like.

Budget: About $1.50 each is fairly standard (although some can run higher or lower), so if you have 7 drawers and cabinets, that’s around $11. Wayfair has some pretty ones, as does PullsDirect.com.

Paint the Walls
A new color on the walls can really perk up a room. If you want to make some real changes in your RV, you may want to consider a little paint. You can also play with a couple of different colors to give your RV some real character by having one wall as an accent wall.

Budget: A gallon of interior paint with primer will run about $20. Choose colors that open up small spaces and transform your RV.

Make a Couple of Throw Pillows
Some cute throw pillows can wake up tired interiors and let you really make your RV your own personal space. You can choose from solids, designs, with fringe, without, the options are endless. Get several small ones for decoration or some big, comfy ones for a homier feel.

Budget: You can get ready made throw pillows for around $14 dollars. Some places are less expensive; some more. If you are a crafty sort you can make your own. If you aren’t, you can make these cute no set throw pillows. If you want something personal but don’t want to do it yourself, this site personalizes throw pillows (and a bunch of other stuff too).

Get Creative with Storage
Just about any container can be used as storage. Antique suitcases, storage ottomans, crates, baskets, the list goes on and on. Place baskets on tables to catch small items and use decorative boxes on shelves. Your RV may be smaller than a house, but many of the decorating guidelines still apply. Look around and make the most of the space you have. You might surprise yourself.

Budget: It isn’t hard to find inexpensive storage items. Many craft stores have basic boxes, crates, and baskets that you can decorate yourself. You can also check out thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales.
