Personalizing Your Home on Wheels

In a compact 60 square-foot space, more or less, the decor of your campervan becomes a personal expression of style and comfort. However, careful consideration is essential to ensure that the design not only reflects your taste but also prioritizes safety and functionality.

Mindful Design for Safety

When decorating your campervan, be mindful of potential safety hazards. Avoid sharp corners that can cause injuries, especially in a confined space. Overhead cabinets should not jut out into walk spaces, preventing accidental head bumps. Similarly, consider rounding and smoothing down edges, ensuring that every aspect of your campervan design prioritizes your well-being. If I had a dollar for every time I stubbed my toe or hit my head on a sharp cabinet, well, you know.

Mirrors for Space and Functionality

Mirrors can serve a dual purpose in your campervan – creating an illusion of more space and fulfilling practical grooming needs. Strategically placing mirrors to bounce light around the van can contribute to an open and light atmosphere. While space constraints may limit the size of mirrors, consider carving out a special spot for a narrow mirror or attaching one to the inside of a cabinet door. It’s crucial to secure any glass elements, including mirrors, to withstand the potential vibrations and jolts experienced on the road.

Bringing Nature Inside

Adding plants to your campervan brings vibrancy to the small space, infusing life and energy. While real plants are an option, artificial plants of high quality can offer a maintenance-free and visually appealing alternative. The lack of natural light in a dark van might not be conducive to real ivy-type plants, making artificial options a practical choice. Other options are succulents or air plants that need little maintenance. There is a bus build that was featured on Vanbuild360 Instagram that had a hydroponic garden. Be creative with your choice of pet plants.

Whether artificial or real, plants have the power to transform the atmosphere inside your campervan. A touch of greenery adds an elegant and refreshing feel to your living space. Some van builds even incorporate an abundance of artificial plants, covering the ceiling and creating a visually stunning effect. Regardless of the extent, the inclusion of air plants, succulents, or other green elements ensures that your campervan becomes a welcoming space.
